Talk:Project grants/Taser

I'm not certain you are being specific enough with your targets. Can you provide a ball-park figure for how many taserings you expect will be required each month? Thryduulf (talk: local | en.wp | en.wikt) 14:53, 1 April 2014 (BST)

Perhaps target practice should be built into the proposal? Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 15:40, 1 April 2014 (BST)

I'd argue that some volunteers already have access to tasers as well as other non-lethal weapons. If there is existing equipment available then that should be used before any significant expenditure can be justified.--Stuart Prior (WMUK) (talk) 14:56, 1 April 2014 (BST)

I'm sorry to burst the bubble, but have you done a full cost / benefit analysis that leads you to believe that a taser would be more effective than, say, CS gas or a water cannon? Can you also show that the taser (or other non-deadly weapon) will be used collaboratively? Stevie Benton (WMUK) (talk) 15:14, 1 April 2014 (BST)
