No. Again, it's not so much the device that is of concern but the judgment the officer exercises in using a force option. The same controls apply to firearms. I'm happy to say that the instances where police officers have to make that ultimate decision to discharge firearms are, thankfully, rare.
The taser is not a replacement for the firearm--there's still a need to have firearms--but it's within that continuum where the options available to a police officer to control the situation may be such that, in our opinion, the taser is an appropriate and effective tool. But there's not a direct correlation between the choice of a taser and a firearm. There's a big distinction between the two.
