Abstract
A conducted electrical weapon ('CEW') comprises one or more mechanisms for preventing accidental deployment. A cap may be disposed on a first end of the CEW handle. A shorting mechanism may be configured to connect one or more deployment unit contacts and one or more handle contacts. The cap and the shorting mechanism may be ejected or burned through responsive to a safety switch of the CEW being activated by a user of the CEW, such that the cap and shorting mechanism do not interfere with intentional deployment.
