Then what people say about us wearing tin-foil hats might really be true

I have thought about the same thing myself. I used to fence - you know, sword fighting. Well, they have electric fencing where you basically have a shirt that has metal mesh on it so a connection can be established to register a hit. I wonder if an electric fencing shirt would protect against a taser.

Excellent, that should do the job. It would short circuit out the tasers probes because it would have less resistance than skin and would have a shorter travel distance for the electricity.

You are a nut-job and genius! Who else would have thought to protect our nuts (groin area.)

If you are within physical striking distance of a taser operator, you probably have larger concerns.

The more serious threat is the wired projectile taser. Two projectiles on wires are propelled from the taser, penetrate your clothing, and hook under your skin like fish hooks. The taser operator can then immobilize you at a distance by electrifying the wired projectiles, completing the circuit.

To counter this attack vector, I suspect the best approach would be to prevent penetration of the wired projectiles into your skin. I say this because from everything I have heard, your chances of pulling the projectiles out are very slim, first because once they have penetrated you, it is already too late, and second because they are in there good enough that unless you are willing to inflict some serious wounds on yourself by ripping them out, you aren't going to get them out in the heat of an exchange.

I would think typical bullet resistant armor would prevent penetration in the first place. I'm sure you could test it. Armor and tasers are both legal to buy and own.

Aluminum foil is a classic. LOL.

Can't recall my periodic table but isn't copper a lot heavier than aluminum? Weight is a consideration.

Something to consider : If a cop tases you and you don't drop he just might shoot you.

Well then just drop and at least you will be alive and pain free.
