How would you show you had been trained? A license, no?

I have a serious doubt that even I, a well respected and well trained user of devices meant to provide a means of defending yourself against serious injury or death...That I might NOT have the restraint needed to pull my fingerr off the trigger (juice) button to cease amperage being delivered to a person I discharge this device against...

I am afraid I may get too much pleasure out of seeing someone flop like a piece of bacon on a hot frying pan...

But seriously...Any device like this which has been widely publicized that does not offer a proven 100% "less than lethal" track record in it use by law enforcement agencies across the country...I would believe that it would be better that the law-abiding public should not pursue using devices like this and stick to the firearms we use today...

My philosophy is this...If you are not committed to getting trained, proficient in the use, studying the law, and the idea of carrying a firearm for lawful self-defensive purposes...

Then why do you think that buying a device that offers this capability and a less than stellar record in its claim of "less than lethal" and carrying it, makes it a better option for a private citizen???

I say this with a well known and documented respect for our CHL community and law enforcement personnel...

As for the bill that is filed...I believe it is a waste of time, and if debated too long may keep something more important to all of us from getting passed and signed into law...This is one of those I would toss in the circular filing container...

Just my opinion...
