So at work last night I was having a discussion with two female employees, apparently one just broke up with her boyfriend who according to her is a physicopath and is known to sit outside the work place in his car. The other female says that if he does this again she will taser him.
Now I'm pretty sure if you taser someone without probable cause its considered an attack? So say if you got tasered for no reason could you legally draw your firearm in defense of yourself?
Sounds to me like you need to distance yourself and contact a lawyer.
(to avoid the 'Well my Boss/Colleague said...')
The "other female" is asking for a bad time... don't know the laws but if an unknown came up to me and started to taze, I'd do my best to draw and fire, if you can. That could be a fun Myth Busters series... I've been tazed/stun gun in a training... not fun. Hurt like hell. My automatic response was to start laughing and I did hold on for about 5 seconds (a LIFETIME) and then I was on the ground.. Not a bad showing for a guy that never did that before.. and probably won't ever again! HAHA
Id be impressed beyond anything I have ever seen before if your able to pull a firearm on somone who hit you with a taser.
Its all about mindset [ROFL3] Sorry had to go there.Quote:

Another example of how stupid people are.[Help]
If there is a possible threat in the parking lot prohibiting her from getting to her vehicle/anywhere safely then she needs to call the police and not try to Rambo the situitation herself.
This... Restraining orders work too.Quote:

You can buy M and X 26 tasers.... They're just not cheap. Just gotta know where to look.Quote:

I can say this about myself: even the 'lesser' taser was enough to render me semi-insensate for a good chunk of time. No way I'd be able to draw and fire right after getting shot.
Did a bunny taze you?Quote:

I took a couple second blast and I could recall for months afterwards each and every pulse it sends into you. Knocked me down like a truck hit me. If you could get hit with it and could still move let alone draw your weapon then you are a freak of nature.

She would have no right unless he approached in a threatening manner.. you can NOT be the aggressor in any sense. No walking up to a douche and starting shit and then 'defending' yourself.. it does not work like that.
Restraining orders work? HHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! Tell that to this lady!
They work like a cop being there when someone breaks into your home.. She should go for a TRO and attempt a PRO she just must show grounds for the Perm. Being a 'psycho' in her opinion does not count. She could claim stalking and that would help.. but I digress.
Actually, the C2 is the same thing, just a little less distance. Easily available from Blue Star Police Supply, 5280 Armory, etc.Quote:

Sadly, no. They just watched and laughed.Quote:

I'm honestly grateful that I went to the restroom before that... Took me about an hour to recover fully. Never something I want to do again.

I have done my 5 second lightning ride and it was the worst pain I have felt in my life. Drawing, shooting, fighting, etc. while being hit/directly after being hit are off the table. I know for cops a taser is considered lethal force. So if someone points a taser at LE they can/likely will be shot. The cop could be incapacitated and could be stripped of his duty weapon so lethal force is an accepted response.
