Care to elaborate? Why is the taser any more dangerous, than the gun or knives he is carrying?
I am more concerned with this statement <What can be done as a company to prohibit these items and is it considered excess?>
people tend to think of tasers as a "non-lethal" weapon and will use it when they wouldn't/shouldn't use any weapon. a taser is a weapon, and people don't treat it as such.
a taser used on an 75 - 95 year old man or woman is almost guaranteed to kill him, however, I read articles constantly about it being done and killing people, and stunning the shooter "oh, wow, didn't think that would happen!" ....well, let's see, you're introducing an electrical current into a body that almost certainly has a pace-maker what did you think would happen? and why did the shooter do it?? most of the time because the old person was being an ornery old person...when did we stop learning to talk to the elderly? patience people, patience!! that's all it takes
