Genuine question. We train Police Officers to use Tazers, is it more difficult to train them to use a sidearm? I had training in the use of small arms in the Navy and it seemed straight forward enough.
Never having done it personally, I can't answer the question as to difficulty in training. What I can say is that they would be more readily accepted by the majority of officers as they would be viewed as a non-lethal option as opposed to the finality of a firearm, and I believe the general public would be more accepting of a Tazer than a firearm. There is also the advantage that you can potentially interrogate the suspect afterwards.
