Another Tasering

Recommended Posts

Actually, your point about civilian ammo is untrue. There's still plenty of stuff out there that is "LEO only".

To my recollection only the Teflon bullets are outlawed.

~~~"There is no Federal law that prohibits a private citizen from purchasing or possessing any of the Black Talon bullet variants. Additionally, there is no Federal law, which forbids private possession and use of "law enforcement" handgun ammunition, except specifically defined armor-piercing handgun ammunition. Black Talon, Ranger SXT and Ranger Talon do not meet the criteria for armor-piercing handgun ammunition as defined by Federal law. However, there may be State or local laws that ban private possession of Black Talon and its variants."~~~

Dude, put the knife down.
fuck you po-po.
bang.



You are missing the track of the conversation -- nobody here is questioning the use of tasers as an alternative to deadly force, such as when a suspect is threatening others with a knife.

I watched on one of the morning news shows this morn. about a lady that is throwing Taser parties like they were tupperware. Now every Joe Blow can start tasering everybody that offends them somehow. Tasering-- Not just for Policemen anymore. Hell they even come in pink. Gotta be fashion aware and color coordinated.



Yes, but "civilian" tasers shoot a shorter distance than police tasers. I suppose that this is so that in a cop/civilian taser 'showdown at the o.k. corral" the police have the upper hand.

I think it's like making civilian bullets less effective than cop bullets, which we don't do, other than the bullshit 'cop killer' steel core bullet (that you can still get for rifles).

Soon tasers will be used to rob banks and gas stations. You can incapacitate everyone easily with enough tasers, and the dude will open the vault if you just apply enough voltage. Then, if you are caught, you didn't even use a deadly weapon in the crime.

Like what? I have steel core, tracer, and HE Incendiary rounds in the ammo can, among others. My understanding is that LEO only ammo is marketing hype, not law.




Then you are quite possibly committing a felony. B|

Maybe in California. :P

Added: and a quick search shows that is indeed from the California code.

A man runs from the Police and the tools provided to the Police to apprehend people who want to resist arrest are used. How is that crazy, should the officer instead have thrown his baton at the ack of the guys head?

In my opinion, there is NO EXCUSE for tasering someone because he is running from a police officer unless he is threatening to harm another person. It's just scary to me that there are people who think that is okay.



THen you run into the Peter Parker theory, where the offender running could kill your uncle Ben. If the person is running away, not in self defense, but to avoid going to Jail, prosecuted, then they are up to no good. It was proven in NYC in the early 90's, enforce existing law on petty offenses, and the big ones will subside.
