The concept for the Taser was developed from the Stun Gun. You can read the history of how Stun Guns were invented or where they came from in the link below:

The Stampeders had a number one hit on the American charts with a cover version of Hit The Road Jack in 1976.The song was written by Percy Mayfield, and originally recorded by Ray Charles in 1961. Dozens of groups recorded lesser known covers.
Yes, 400 megahertz radios can potentially interfere with the operation of the X26 Taser, as both operate in the electromagnetic spectrum close to each other. The X26 Taser is designed to function without interference, but external radio signals can cause disruptions if they are strong enough or if the devices are in close proximity. It’s important for users to be aware of their surroundings and to avoid using radios while deploying the Taser to ensure safe and effective operation.
John Higson Cover Jr. invented the first TASER in 1974. He was also called Jack Cover.
John "Jack" Cover invented the taser in 1974, he was also a scientist and made it with gun powder.
He also invented Thermecon (Thermal Energy Conversion System) in 1981
Oh, what a happy little question! The taser was invented right here in the United States, in good old Arizona. It was created by a man named Jack Cover back in the 1970s. Isn't it amazing how creativity and innovation can come from anywhere?
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. I have a link in bio that may catch your interest. Thank you!
That is the correct spelling of "Taser" (capitalized as a trademark name). The electroshock weapon was purportedly named as an acronym for "Thomas A. Swift's electric rifle" by inventor Jack Cover, but conveniently rhymes with "laser."

Mr. Cover was the founder of TASER International Systems which he started in 1970. His company was acknowledged for saving many lives by launching the TASER, a non-lethal weapon. He was born in 1920 and had a BS in Physics from the University of Chicago and also earned a Ph.D. in physics. Mr. Cover had worked for Hughes Space Division, IBM and North American Aviation. He was also part of a team that won the Prime contract for NAA in 1961-62 on the Apollo Moon Landing Program. Mr. Cover was also involved in a number of USA Defense Programs and was a Military Pilot (Major) in World War II.
