GRAND RAPIDS — Women who live alone and fathers of female college students share a particular interest when it comes to hand-held protection: the Taser.
More than other groups, they want to legalize the electric-shock weapon for civilians as an alternative to handguns.
State Sen. Arlan Meekhof, R-West Olive, got to know the demographics as he sponsored a 2008 bill to make Tasers legal in Michigan under the concealed weapons law.
Three years later, the effort is back. Tasers have been a tool for Michigan police for several years but are illegal to have outside of law enforcement

GRAND RAPIDS -- A bill is in the state Senate to allow Tasers under the state's concealed-carry permit law.
Many readers responded to a Sunday story on the issue, commenting about fears of Tasers being misused or even fired because someone else annoyed or angered a Taser owner.
Backers of the bill say the scenario is unlikely, mostly because Tasers would be regulated under the concealed-carry law.
