There are a number of topics on Tasers in the Community that might help, @LolaKinks

Use of taser vs using your firearm

HI I here is a question I have recently purchased a taser not a stun gun to add to my self defense capabilities I was wondering if by chance you have a training video on when to deploy taser or use a firearm

Taser taser taser

I do not know how many of you saw the post from the expo: [image] https://www.facebook.com/USCCA/videos/674251926343944/ But I commented that I also was tased. And here is the proof. In 2017 on the last day of the Citizens Academy I volunteered to be tased. They shot the taser into the tin foil covering cardboard and then just taped the leads onto us rather than deal with the barbs and blood and holes in shirts. The one video I was holding my GoPro, the other video I handed people in cla…

Question on use of force TASERS

Hello again! I bought myself a x26c Taser back in June from a local gun shop and I was curious on the use of force and what to do if I have to use it. And would it be ideal to carry both a small taser or stun gun along with your conceal carry firearm? I heard from MikeTheCop (Youtuber) Saying tasers are good but they dont work all the time and he mentioned if you can carry one with your conceal carry would be a good idea. I’m guessing in the sense of an attack where one feels that even though…

I will check those out, thank you!

Also, holy effing poop. My CCW permit came in the mail today!

sounds like your in a AA or other addiction program and your concerned about others who may come armed and high. Perhaps a stalker or ex. In any event my advice is to train with your weapon of choice until you are extremely comfortable and familiar with it. Then find a holster you r comfortable with, there are many styles to choose from. Comfort, Ease of access, conceal ability are just the basics of what you should be looking at. When you have spent enough time training so you can disassemble, clean, reassemble, and load your gun, you now need to train with your weapon & holster. Knowing exactly where ALL you gear is (gun, xtra magazines, knife, flashlight, etc) so you don’t have to look for it, holstering and drawing your gun without looking for it that should be your goal before safely carrying concealed. Knowing that carrying a concealed weapon carries an awesome responsibility as well as liability make sure your ready. As far as carrying in a small room, you must know your surroundings. If you shoot where will the projectiles go? (are there other people in the line of fire or a wall a bullet will pierce through, who’s on the other side of the wall? etc). Will you put others in harms way if you shoot? Training is what will increase you confidence and safety. One final thought, guns and alcohol or any other addictive cns stimulants don’t mix. Check your local laws. I hope this helps.

Ok, you may not like my answers. Ma’am you seem like a lady who is trying to do alot of good in what ways you can. This man however is not only disturbing you and others, but he is doing so, so much that you have considered going to the police. You say that numerous others have expressed their fear to you.

Now I haven’t been to an AA meeting before but my understanding is that sobriety is a one day at a time journey, how many others journeys is he interfering or endangering?

I would, for lack of a better term, swallow my pride and go to that brother in law who is in law enforcement and ask him to attend and ask him what he thinks.

Also you have to ask yourself a really hard question. Can you take that man’s life if you have to? Combat trained soldiers serving in line units are statistically proven to only have about 30% of their numbers actually shooting for effect. That is one of the many reasons that Special Operations Operators are almost always “tasked out”.

Once you have your CC permit, get some training. From what one of my favorite people calls a " serious person". That’s a euphemism for someone who has been shot at with intent and has shot back with intent. John Lovell of the Warrior Poet Society has a great YouTube channel and recently did a good series of training videos with the USCCA.

Also since you are involved with the buildings management, I would probably recommend an alarm with a panic button you wear around your neck and your cell phone as the contact number with a monitored service using an affirmative phrase for send help now and another phrase for sorry was an accident.

Best advice I can give you. YMMV

I’m not recommending this revolver for your carry; I’m offering photos of my holster for it.
This one is custom made by my local leather worker/saddle maker. It isn’t a budget holster, but it doesn’t cost any more than many premium holsters offered online. This application is OWB but inside the belt. This is an option that works for us for rough wear, though my friend carries his 1911 concealed in his holster built exactly this same way.
My point is not to promote this style of carry or even this design holster. Once you are certain you have your every day carry weapon, you may want to have a reputable craftsman build your custom holster to perfectly fit that weapon. Make sure it’s a design you can wear comfortably and securely, then have it made to please your eye as well. Comfort and ease of use is more important than beauty since nobody will see it while you’re carrying. Choose a design that will be an easy or not too difficult proposition in bathroom visits.
It’s an option anyway.

I have to say this 686 plus is fun fun on the range…great trigger in SA and easy and smooth DA. Load up some .38 target rounds and shoot all day.
