    That's the beaty of a stun gun though, doesn't matter where it's hits them, it still feels like they're being kicked in the nuts, poked in the eyes, and set on fire, all at the same time as a massive headache from every corner of your skull.

    They're not very hard to make either.

    Not if you don't tell them you've got one. And anyone that does gets zapped by the V02 version!

    Police had not explained why the weapons were needed."

    Yep.

Glocks are great and a hell of a lot of fun to shoot on the range but nothing says "FUCK OFF" quite like a rifle up the nostril.
    Rifles are no good for close combat. That's what glocks are for. If taken by surprise, shoot from the hip. This way you avoid the time it takes to raise the weapon and there's no chance the low life can take it from you. By the way, cross holsters are no good. The weapon should be the same side as your drawing arm.

    One day this tip will save your life. Thank me then.

    As you were.

    I was in Auckland on Saturday. My sister in law was telling me about the A-train. The A-train is the service that runs at around 3:30 (after school). A-train is short for Animal train. When you've got wanna be gangsters, miscrients, and assorted forms of criminals in waiting (or current crims) in a confined environment - it spells touble. Unfortunately the ones who get it are the people trying to earn a living.

    I'd quite happily work that service with the cattle prod I used to have on the farm. 600mm of "Sit the f*ck down & shut the f*ck up!!" Tazers are a good thing. You're kidding yourself if you think scumbags aren't armed already.

    Guess the publicity blurbs have worked on you. Just do a web search and you will find how wrong you are.

    No problem bud. Can't expect you'd know it all after boot camp in Porirua.

    I think cops in general should have guns but half of them coming out of Porirua aren't even on solids yet.
