Why Gun Shy Would Not Recommend a Tazer or a "Stun Gun"

In an earlier commentary, I stated this:

As an additional note, there are some who might also add a tazer or stun gun to the list as well (not this writer). Keep in mind, that the inexpensive devices are typically not effective and some what unreliable, so when it comes to defensive weaponry, spare no expense to get the right tool for the right application (threat level). Your life, and more importantly the lives of others may depend on it.

Now go to this page and watch the video of an incident that happened to an officer where he was nearly killed. The sound of something hitting against the steel pipes of the bridge is probably the officers head.
