I'll just go ahead and debunk the taser as a defensive weapon only issue right here.

December 16, 2005
A clerk in a Mission Hills liquor store grabbed a pistol and chased two masked men out of his store last night after they shot another clerk with a Taser, San Diego police said.
The masked men walked into Mission Hills Liquor on West Lewis Street about 8:50 p.m. and confronted one clerk, police said.
The pair demanded money, and when the clerk refused, he was shot with the Taser, a stun gun. His co-worker pulled out a handgun and chased away the would-be robbers.
And my guess is that these two that fled the scene in this next story will seriously reconsider an up close and personal robbery again.
Stafford Texas
A confrontation between a Stafford homeowner and a suspected armed robber turned deadly Friday night.
Stafford police say the resident had just pulled into his driveway on Maple Leaf near Emerald Leaf Friday evening when an armed suspect tried to rob him. The homeowner had his own gun. Investigators say he shot and killed the suspect.
Two other suspects sped away from the scene in a small red car. They are still on the run.
Stafford police officers say the homeowner will not be charged because he acted in self-defense.
