Listen people, the stun gun is no big deal, it's just like accidentally touching the sparkplug on your lawnmower. It scares the hell out of you, but does no lasting damage.
I would MUCH rather get hit with a stun gun than a night stick. One knocks you on your ass, the other does the same, but breaks bones and leaves bruises.
For the experts that think a piece of broken glass is no problem, think of severed tendons and nerves and loss of use of a hand for life, both for the little hoodlum if you grab his hand too hard, or for your hand, if you're too slow.
If that was the result, while you had mace, stungun, and stick on your belt and were certified with all, the lawyers would be all over you for NOT using them instead of grabbing the kid and causing him to tighten his grip on the glass, losing him the use of his hand for life.
Wise observations.
Exactly. The same holds true for the drunken 12-year-old girl if she would have run into traffic and been killed.
Bunch of condescending, Monday-morning quarterbacks who think they have all the answers.
