So, how do you know that the drunk doesn’t have his own Glock 40 S&W in his waistband, and believes that the show of Taser zapping force is a threat to him?
The Taser is a weapon, just like a gun. Don’t show it or pull it out unless you are in a situation where you have to use it now. You don’t know what the drunk’s reaction will be to the zap and if he is armed himself.
Yes, I know. You seem to think I'm advocating one thing over the other, I'm not. I wouldn't brandish any kind of weapon.
You don’t know what the drunk’s reaction will be to the zap and if he is armed himself.
His reaction to being zapped with a million volts will be dropping to the ground, unable to to do much of anything.
There's a reason why cops carry these things. It's so they don't have to kill somebody who's just stupid and not a deadly threat.
It's a judgement call the law forces me to make before I use deadly force. I trust myself making those kind of judgements or I wouldn't have a concealed carry permit.
