Sure, better than nothing. If nothing else you have distracted him an extra 10 seconds and may save a life. But it won't be your own.AustinBoy wrote:I am trying to find something that can be done NOW. Right now. Guns in schools will take a long time if ever to get approved.
The principal died throwing her body at the shooter.
Pepper spray or a taser MIGHT have been able to do at least SOMETHING.
Right?
Better than nothing?

Re: CT shooting - Pepper Spray? Taser?
My concerns are how limited of an area of exposure both of those items need to be effective and, as you stated, distance. If a potential suspect is wearing bulky clothing then a Taser is absolutely useless. And, if you don't pepper spray them correctly you will not incapacitate them (again, dealing with area of effectiveness). They are both excellent tools and I carry them if I am unable to have a firearm. That being said, I am not very sure they would have been effective in the CT shooting (based on very limited knowledge, so correct me if I'm wrong). But, as much as I hate to admit it, "something" is better than "nothing".
