For the price of a $5 raffle ticket, Van Meter, Iowa, is offering its residents a chance to use a police Taser on a city official.

City hall is selling the tickets as part of a public safety fundraiser. The raffle winner will get the chance to Taser or spare City Administrator Jake Anderson or Councilman Bob Lacy at the Van Meter Fire Association Street Dance July 18.

Straight to the forehead.

If it does not affect him then you will know for sure that he has no brains at all. Just another politician, we always seem to end up with a surplus of them anyway.

Yup, but it kinda seems appropriate. In 'Murica, we have a surplus of everything. big_smile

Then let's taze Congress. I would rather taze them then vote for them, at least there would be some small satisfaction.

Can people bring their own Taser?  I got a sneaking suspicion that any taser they provide will barely have enough charge to tickle.

Probably believed the sales pamphlet about it being safe


Are Tasers too deadly to be called 'non-lethal'?

Although, I hope neither of them get tazed... it's just not a fun thing to happen to anyone, I think, and too much unanswered.
