Yes! It's completely safe and made in my home State of Michigan along with ACOG And Trigicon. Unlike all that depleted uranium from the A-10's 20mm armor pearcing rounds all ouer the deck giving off small amounts of radiation for us to walk through.........lol I was lucky and never got sick, knock on wood............:) few guys did but I think they were sick before we deployed so they could go home if you know what I mean. We all have that 10% in every branch right brother?

Semper Fi..........

love it, environmentally sensitive grease over depleted uranium.... don't screw with us, and you don't have to worry about that stuff :D

civilian world is more like 90% fakers, 10% honest. I'm an attorney, and yes, I chase ambulances... get over it... anyway, there's two groups of people - ones that really need a hand, and the ones that think they hit the accident lottery. my illustration is the second group. I used to be in the 2nd floor of a office complex and my office overlooked the parking lot where everyone parked. I used to get pretty irritated at the able-bodied who'd park in the handicapped spot in front of my office (no placard either). One bright day, a prospective client came to my office, parked in the handicapped spot in his lifted, craptastic toyota pickup (manual). He popped out of his truck and boogied up and into my office. Mind you, this guy had a workman's comp injury that made it "impossible" to work. We did the interview and the spidey sense said this guy was completely full of crap, oh yeah, and did I mention... he smelled like a brewery. Normally, I just politely blow smoke and send them on their way - not this time. I listened to him for about 5 minutes and took him from the conference room in the back of the building to my office in the front. I pointed to his truck and said "that's your truck." "yeah"

long story short I questioned his heritage, known birth parents and concluded with a "I know you're faking, now get out." He left my office, and walked to his car with a noticable limp. Damn straight, when I chew you out you leave with a limp...

Outstanding! I love it when good people call poor hippy sperm on their BS! When I left the Corps and hired into State Government I was told it was a para military organization. NOT.......not even close! Place was full of staff with 0.0 integrity! So many Officers were just looking to break up a fight or a stabbing so they could fake a back injury and get the summer off paid. 100% pay if the injury is prisoner related. So easy to fake a back injury. I worked 20 years breaking up fights being punched kicked hit with chairs tables dumbbells and stuck with a shank. Never missed more than the remainder of my shift going to the hospital. There was no way I was going to let a criminal think him best me. Too much pride. Two years ago we got Tasers! OMG best tool they ever gave us! Workers comp dropped 80% throughout the entire State! We have the Taser X2's with the 25ft cartridges. They are amazing to say the least. Videos of People being Tased are fun to watch. Taseing people with your own Taser is priceless!..........:)

they do take the fight out of the dog. I do SAR, and amazingly, about twice a year I'll be headed home from a mission and end up rescuing a crashed drunk. Last time the guy's old lady grabbed the wheel while they were fighting and they ended up upside down in a full water-retainage pond (technically a swale). So we're treating the woman, and the guy first starts with "I love you" and the next thing you know they're about to throw down. I stepped between them and told the guy to go sit down on the fire truck... he did, but all the time I'm thinking if this comes to blows I'm in trouble (I'm 6-1 210#) the guy had me by at least 40 lbs... fortunately, he was drunk and not thinking terribly fast.... oh how I wish they'd let us have tasers - problem is, it's kind of hard to justify for a volunteer SAR.... maybe I can convince them it'd be used to warm hypothermia patients?

Taser is now making civilian models. Far as I can tell on the web site they are the same as our law enforcement versions. You might want to look into them. I have some incredible taser footage, problem is I can't show anyone. I know you understand. The more muscle mass a person has the better they work. I have deployed my ECD 14 times in two years. That's a lot for a supervisor. I have Officers with almost 30 deployments same time frame. Some states won't let civilians carry them but handguns or ok???? Go figure ..........if you can get one probe in a shoulder blade and one in a cheek they drop like a falling tree! Even have that stiff as a board bounce off the concrete............:) awesome tool!

We're supposed to be unarmed - but that depends on the sheriff over the SAR units. King County will boot you for carrying, where I'm at it's the don't ask don't tell policy. Given the number of tweekers who are in the area, it's actually more surprising that we don't have qualifications once a year. I normally don't carry, but, on some missions I do add a 9mm to my gear - and honestly, there's very little to fear from the wildlife (however, it would be apt to point out I was raised on a ranch and for sport we'd target practice on the black bears with paint guns - ostensibly to keep the bears scared of humans, but more to see what a bear looks like in pink).
