The Taser was invented by Jack Cover in the late 1960s. Cover was a NASA researcher who was interested in finding a non-lethal way to stop suspects without using firearms. He named his device the Taser, which stands for "Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle," after a character in a series of adventure novels. The first Taser was developed in 1969 and was initially used by law enforcement agencies in the 1970s. Since then, Tasers have become a common non-lethal weapon used by police and military forces around the world.
