I hope the company introduces a civilian model that would be legal for regular ole citizens to carry for self defense.

I've thought aboutgetting an X26c. Would, at the right price. But I don't see very many at the gun shows.

Some states allow chemical and electronic defense gadgets such as a taser, or other electronicproducts, Right?

But NO! Not in the land of cow-schitt & beer farts (Wisconsin) We are not privileged enough, or considered smart enough by our current governor to be able to defend ourselves against criminals in a non-lethal manner.
We are even expected to retreat in our own homes if we encounter a criminal in our home and acting aggressively.
Imagine that, someone breaks into your home, they are intent on harming you, and it is not considered a "legal shoot" until you exhausted your attempts of retreating. "Criminal rights" exceed a law abiding citizens rights in many cases.

Is it true that Israel has developed an effective personal discharge system that would protect the user from most taser attacks?
Ya know, that was going through my mind as I was reading the article. I think it would be fairly simple to have a conductive material weaved within a garment that would effectively create a short-circuit and keep any current flow from entering the body. Carbon-fiber is conductive, there are already wetsuits out that have a titanium weave in them to help heat retention. Maybe that is a patent worth pursuing, a garment that negates the effects of a taser or other offensive electric device. Then the Govt. can restrict people from owning those too, just like they restrict ballistic vests.

I thought they developed a self defence suit that was worn with a processor and battery. It supposedly absorbed initial shock and delivered a counter charge back down the wires that would arc and disable the taser attacker.

I believe Taser has a policy of only giving their top of the line products to military/law enforcement and not directly selling the top of the line models to regular people.

That's exactly what I've heard. 15' probes (30' for the police models) and less voltage. Does anyone have a link that confirms this?
