A sensor detects how well embedded the probe is in the target's flesh after impact is detected, and if it doesn't have a good bite, a mild burst of compressed gas in the base of the probe drives it in a few mm deeper before discharging.

Does the sensor distinguish between, say, a man in a navy-surplus greatcoat, Nehru jacket, waistcoat, three sweaters, button-down shirt, wetsuit, rash-vest and singlet and, on the other hand, a walrus? |
|
|
Just me, but no other being has the right to penetrate my flesh with anything without my consent. |
|
|
Well not 'just' me, but I'm in that mix somewhere. |

Figure out how to electrify from a distance and keep sepsis inducing elements out of non-lethal enforcement of arbitrary rules. |
|
|
2 fries, this could be used to protect yourself non-lethally FROM those who would seek to so violate your anatomical integrity. |

Using violence to prevent violence? If you love all men equally doesn't that defeat the purpose? |

Self defense is a moral primary, as you cant uphold other ideals if someone kills you. |
|
|
Yeah but they can't uphold their ideals if you kill them. |

Thank you [pocmloc], I just won a bet with my wife on how quickly someone would point that out. Your check is in the mail. |

See link on self defense for a longer discussion, greater and lesser evil, etc. I would write more myself on that theme, but at the moment Im brewing up another coffee-related half-baked idea. |

Sure, for a while. Until the alien invasion, and everybody has lost the capacity to fight back. |
|
|
The aliens would be gentle friendly aliens who only want to help and be nice |

You just believe that because To Serve Man was a best-seller on <amazon.co.kanamit>. |

2 Fries, let me see if I understand you correctly. You support permissive gun ownership laws, because you have the right to not only penetrate the flesh of someone who's attacking you, but their organs and potentially bones as well. But these tiny little Taser probes, that's where you draw the line? |

If "electrocute" were cognate with "meet-cute", would that make this idea better, worse or about the same? |

Short Circuit (1986 film), the scene where Ally Sheedys character meets Number 5. Ill see if I can find the clip. |
