Taser question

[jyerxa]

Thanks guy's for all of your insight. I do wear a Stetson Pianoman.  And have an open carry holster for my Super Black Hawk. My belt has shrunk a few inches these last two years. I need a new gun belt.

Is there any way I could renew my conceal carry with out going down to the court house? My back just won't hold up for the trip through down town traffic and walking through the court house. I live in Graham and the Mountain Precinct is a manageable trip. I've never fully understood why any precinct can not process the applications.

You should call the sheriff and let them know you're disabled. You might be able to renew at a local sheriff's office, if that helps.

I'll check it out. I'll let every body know what I find out. I'll post the results on the general forum if I find out anything different from the normal process.

Getting a new permit is easy. Go to your local police station or sheriff office, depending on whether you live in city or county.  Fill out the form, get finger printed and pay the fee.  You're done and go home. If yours has been expired for two years, I'm sure you need to apply for a new one, which is no big deal. The only difference is the renewal is a bit cheaper.  Here in Kitsap County, it took 7 days for my permit to arrive.

It has been the court house only for so long now. Has that changed? I have a precinct in close proximity. I am, I hate to say, disabled. My back is broken up pretty good. Even riding in a vehicle is too much with all the bumps and G-forces of traffic.

30 seconds of 50000 volts could kill easy.  The five second setting is standard for police I think maybe ten seconds.  Next time you see a taser in a video w the prongs that shoot count how long it shocks for.  30 second would be hilarious the one shot would be hurting for days.  If I didn't need leathal force I would be hesitant to use it.  They have and can kill.  They are banned in Tacoma city limits too. Not sure if police can carry them but not the private sector.  I'll stick with the xd 45.

Gee's Look at this one. A whooping 7.5 Mega Volts! As in Million Volts.

^^^^That will get the job done! Years ago when I was a bouncer, we used 75,000 volt guns, and it did a good job, even on some rather large and ornery patrons.

If your in Graham it s not in the court house anymore its across the street at the south sound 911 office at 945 Tacoma ave. S. they have parking right out front. Its a lot easier than it used to be.

The bigger and more muscular you are, the worse it affects you.  The charge seizes muscle groups between the probes.

I love when people focus on the Volts  .....its the Amperes that matter, and Tasers use very low Amps, thus the reason for the higher Volt rating.

LE models also pulse at a higher rate, causing more nuro incapacitation. Civilan models pulse at a slow rate for a longer period of time, the idea being that a civilan can use it for self defense to flee from the threat. I dont know if they still do but Taser would give you a new Taser if you provided a police report where you left your Taser behind, fleeing from a threat you tased.

As for the OP, I wouldn't spend good money on one, get your conceal carry permit and spend the money on a new gun.

Just to clarify

The civilian model zaps for 10 seconds and allows up to 2 additional zaps if you pull the trigger again for a total of 30 seconds.  (3 ten seconds zaps)
The police model zaps for 5 second zaps and additional 5 second zaps if needed.


Taser international says the police only need 5 seconds because they have then means, tools and training to subdue a person where the civilian doesn't and needs the 30 seconds to insure the ability to escape the assailant.

3 ten second rides will leave just about anyone huffing for air so bad they couldn't do much more than wallow around on the ground trying to get wind and uncurl themselves out of fetal position *if* the darts properly deploy and all goes according to design. 

This.

Agree. Been tasted twice in training. Takes the will to fight right out of you... but I wasn't on drugs ; so...

Cops don't deploy taser without firearm backup.
