Whether they're close together or not, I've held and fired a gun before.
I've held a taser (but not fired) before.
Having held both of these devices, I would go on record saying that even in a stressful situation I'd be able to tell the difference just by feel.
So... I stand corrected.
Apparently there are a bunch of tasers that do, in fact, look close enough to pistols, that I can actually see how this mistake was made.
With THAT being said...
Why the **** would you keep a non-lethal weapon
that looks like a lethal weapon, right next to
the actual lethal weapon that it looks like.
Am I wrong for thinking that this is exceptionally stupid?
How is there not a procedural requirement for keeping these two weapons separate and brain-dead easy to distinguish from one another, even in high pressure intense situations; nay, ESPECIALLY in high pressure intense situations? For that matter - why do they make tasers that look and feel like a goddamn gun?
Am I missing something?
Does she keep the dynamite sticks right next to the road flares in her trunk, like Wile E. Coyote?
Because that **** never seems to work out very well for the coyote either.
