Anticipating potential confrontations is the key to mental preparation. One of the more frequent "what-ifs" we hear from students involves the presentation of OC spray/mace and the taser. If armed with a weapon and threatened with this sort of device, what amount of force are you as an individual comfortable using in response? Thoughts?
It sounds like you are saying you are not sure how you would be explaining yourself to your defense lawyer and the Judge at your arraignment.I'm not sure if one would be able to articulate how they felt the threat was deadly based on 'what-could' happen after the initial battery.
In short I agree with ISLANDER.

Did I get that right?
Tasers are not "non-lethal" instruments of force. They are "Less-lethal" instruments of force. The Taser has in fact caused fatalities in its use by law enforcement. You can't call something non-lethal if it has caused fatalities.
No kiddin?!! :lol:Taser spends a ton of money making sure their device is never listed as the cause of death.
I don't know how long the average taser cords are, but pepper spray might have a 10 foot maximum range, depending on wind and such.
No kiddin?!! :lol:
Whoda thunk it? Kinda bad for business otherwise, I suppose. :no:

You have a question to answer in the other thread...
I believe this is the correct analysis and begs the question asked in the first place.Most bad guys just use firearms to get what they want, which in it's own bad way, make things short and sweet. It is interesting to ponder, but it seems less likely that an attacker will be using defensive weaponry that is for the most part, non-lethal.

Consumer taser cartridge models have a maximum length of 15 feet. L.E models (which can be purchased online some places...range from 15-35 feet.
