I will third that but, we have to do 2.5 to 5 seconds! We have to take the "ride" before we are allowed to carry them. For some reason we have to sample the taser and pepper spray. They say it's so we can understand how it feels. I have to argue every time "but, we don't have to get shot with our sidearms or beat with our asps!" never works and the Taser hurts!!!
The new versions are much more powerful then the ones from the 80-90s. Every muscle tightens up and you cannot control yourself. You just drop like a fallen tree!
I do have to say, I would rather get tased then pepper sprayed. Pepper spray is a gift that keeps on given! If you ever get this (guys) do not get a shower in warm water and let the water run down your front side..... OOOOUUUCH
