you can also get hit with one and fall down and hurt yourself and die. many people have.
try going to many countries and crossing the border with a stun gun in your pockets. thats all you will have to do to get arrested.
in the united states the laws prohibit them are few, and much more relaxed, and the only way you can really get in trouble for carrying them is if you have prior convictions of violent crimes or felonies, OR you are in possession of one while in the act of committing another crime. otherwise it just gets treated the same as any other weapon out there. as long as youre carrying it responsibly and not committing any crimes, its no issue at all
carrying around a taser was no big deal at all. Bigo had every right to have that on him. until he decided to carry it with him into federal property. that becomes a seperate crime on his own, for which he has even been hit with two charges over. his only way out of it, aside from taking plea deals and having charges stayed, is to somehow be able to convince the right people that a taser cant actually be capable of causing injury or death to somebody, and thus cannot be a dangerous weapon
you would be hard pressed to make that kind of argument against a taser. with all of the laws aside, there are alot of ways you can die and get hurt as a result from them, even if its just indirectly. if you have heart problems, if youre on drugs, or have underlying medical issues, if you just ran a marathon trying to get away from police, it only increases the risk of serious injury or death.
hell even police will first try to deescalate the situation and subdue the perpetrator with pepper spray and other chemical agents first. if they dont choose to pull out their handguns and use lethal force, their taser is their last resort. it is also more dangerous than trying to spray a guy or tackle the perp down, mainly because of the injuries sustained by the person who cannot control their falls, and also if their all on drugs and their heart rate is jacked. every year people die from the use of tasers. being used by police officers who are trained how to use them, and arent genuinely trying to murder them, and in alot of cases shit still happens and they die, or end up breaking bones or ending up disfigured from faceplanting concrete and curbs trying to escape the police. now if those same weapons were being used by unruly criminals with malicious intent, you better damn well believe somebodies gonna end up getting hurt from it
if you cant see why a taser can be looked at as a dangerous weapon and youre genuinely not just trying to troll, then you need to slap yourself. once again, i would like to see you make the argument to me while standing on top of a flight of stairs. or let me hold it to you for a while. i guarantee you won't be making that type of argument after that. its not all peaches and roses and its not always a happy outcome for people who have had to go through it. there is a risk involved with using them, which all the training and experience is not going to ever completely mitigate. not everybody will fall on soft grass, and not everybodies heart will be able to handle it the same way
these things are dangerous. especially when in the wrong hands and used maliciously theres a reason why they are outright banned or heavillly regulated in many countries. trying to convince people why a taser cant possibly be deemed as a dangerous weapon is a completely fucking stupid argument to try to make, because its very easy to shut down.
