huskerdavo Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 indeed the weight of a tazer gun and a pistol are equal, i am sure Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 The funny thing is they feel completely different so this guy is totally f'd!!! Quote Link to comment
rawhide Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Were they spotlighting?? I assume it is still illegal. Should have fire hosed him. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 The funny thing is they feel completely different so this guy is totally f'd!!! Not too mention the Taser that I carry is YELLOW compaired to the Glock which is BLACK! Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Yeah it clearly says on the side X26 Taser!!! And yes the yellow and black stripes on the front of the taser cartridge would give it away as well!!! Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Plus, doesn't one have to enter like a special key into the tazer to get it to work. I could be wrong, but I thought I remembered someone showing me that. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Not on our tazers or any tazer I've used but it's possible. Quote Link to comment
huskerdavo Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I usually back cops shooting people but this time not so much Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Yeah I'm just spitballing here but I think he's screwed!!! Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Or.....that's their story and they are sticking too it! I think this is still one far fetched story. Although I never "Arm Chair Quarterback" another Officer's actions and what he thought, I find it hard to believe this is the "rest of the story"! Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Agreed on that one 100% Quote Link to comment
