Taser International Sets Its Scamming On Stunning
Hidden within the story that Taser, International will offer models of its patented drunk killing device to the general public, we see what kind of superscam this really is:
    Taser has however said that it will be sold inert, and activated after the purchaser takes part in an online background check.
That is, you, gentle reader, would spend your filthy lucre on a device that won't work until Taser, International, says you're okay to have a working Taser.

The next step, of course, is a Taser-As-Service model, where the self-defense tool only works if you keep up on the monthly subscription fee. Forget to tell Taser, International, that your credit card expiration date changed, and you're in for a big surprise on that underlit street where you encounter a couple ruffians.

Sounds a bit like The Weapon Shops of Isher by A. E. Van Vogt.
