And stun gun manufacturer Taser has announced plans to start selling a model of its gun to the general public. Until now the stun gun has only been available to law enforcement agencies and the military. The guns will be sold to the public for $1,000. The Chicago Tribune reports Taser is going to kick off its marketing campaign by having a police officer shot a firearms dealer from Minnesota in an attempt to show how safe the guns are. But concern is growing over the safety of the guns which are marketed as a non-lethal weapon. Last week the Chicago Police Department stopped arming new officers with Tasers after a man died after being shot and a 14-year-old was hospitalized with cardiac arrest.
