Rep. Eric Anderson of Priest Lake agreed to be tased Thursday as a bill to regulate stun guns as concealed weapons died in committee. You can watch the whole thing on Channel 2 (click on Watch Video)… Anderson was quite proud that he did not go into TITS (Taser Induced Tourette Syndrome).
Grrrrr.

Nampa Rep. Steven Kren, an electrician by trade, had sponsored a bill that would have made “conducted energy devices” — Tasers or stun guns — concealed weapons in Idaho. Kren declined to be shocked Thursday, telling PaleoMedia that the godfather of the bill does not get tased.
The bill died 7-7 in House State Affairs Thursday. The bill had the support of law enforcement.
Anderson, on the other hand, bragged about the experience all afternoon, though he ONLY lasted about 3 seconds.
Another bill to prevent felons and a few other categories of people from carrying Taser-like weapons passed the Senate and is headed to the House.
