I'm amazed that you continue to say there is no other alternative to lethal except the Taser - Lamperd Less Lethal has the Wasp and it has had objective research; and the ability to "drop" a person where they stand without killing them. Check out the Wasp slide show to find out about this product and the research behind it.

And now Lamperd has come out with the Intimadator NP - a nitrogen powered, 5 shot weapon that requires no license. Uses the Wasp round (does not change it's properties from negative 50 to 212 degree fahr.) and has the same pain producing, drop them where they stand power as the Law Enforcement Defender. Will also chamber OC Pepper Spray and Soc rounds. 1/2 the recharge cost of the Taser, greater accuracy and distance, 5 rounds vs. Taser's one shot - I believe the "hand writing is on the wall" where this is going compared to Taser - especially in light of all the litigation woes.
