About 'non-lethal' weapons:
My department began using 'beanbag' equipped shotguns about two years ago. These have saved a couple lives already. They work. One guy who tried his dangnest to get shot to death ended up with five nasty bruises on his thighs instead of on the ME's slab. He was major drugged-up, and it took five beanbags to convince him that he was in actual pain. Cogent bad guys are convinced more readily.
The trick is to use this force appropriately. Training is on-going and getting honed to a keen edge. All good.

Finally someone understands the concept.
I want a couple of bean bags for my first shot in my bedroom defense weapon.
