First of all, PCP is a hell of a drug...much more likely candidate than coke. Second, I've never been a fan of less-lethal rounds. Their effects vary from nothing to death, which makes it hard to know if you are using appropriate force. The same can be said for hollowpoints, I suppose, but they err much more strongly on the 'death and disablement' side of the spectrum. Third, this is a good object lesson for concealed carry. If Samurai man had approached you in the street with intent to injure, what would you have done? Whipped out your handy 12 gauge beanbag shotgun, softened him up a bit, then hit him with high pressure water, then pinned him with a ladder and used your remote lasso to disarm him? Or, alternately put a couple JHPs center mass from a reasonably safe distance.
