A majority of the local cops in my area carry those. The sad thing is, when someone actually dies because they're on drugs and go into cardiac arrest when they're tazed, it's always on the news. The media doesnt bother to stop and think about the alternative to being tazed, a bullet.

Think about what you'd do if someone hit you with a taser, you'd want to kill them. I would.. Plus, i've noticed just pointing a gun at a person makes them pretty damn scared
You wouldn't have to look over your shoulder, because lets face it, what are the chances of the guy actually ever finding you again? I'm in a decent sized city and I can expect that I will never see that person again and have either of us recognize each other.
If you do go all the way and manage to shoot someone, you can expect to do jail time. Period. I'd rather not. Even if you just flash your gun at someone, they can call the cops, and you can be sure the cops WILL send out a unit for a road rager with a firearm.
When you use a firearm, you escalate the situation on all levels beyond your control.

And btw...its Newport News kthx.
AP News = Associated Press. They're the wire feed for most news stories that aren't local in your paper.
And nobody said you were incompetent, he said that the police was incompetent.
