I made a personal vow to try to get through an entire week without getting a PM from a moderator.

You are testing me, aren't you?

It probably was a female and I bet you she taught CHL on the side for all the money they make.

Sorry ma'am, didn't mean to imply anything, just had a gut feeling, that I should have kept to myself.

Cops are taught to carry the Taser cross draw like that for one very good reason. It is too much like a gun and there has already been an incident where an officer thought she was drawing her Taser and drew her pistol instead. Realized it when she heard the bang but it was too late then for the BG. So, we carry them cross draw specifically to avoid having the movement to draw the Taser become confused with the movement to draw the pistol.

Thanks for the info. I had to double take to realize that it was a taser. I hadn't realized that the tasers were that small and had never seen one so close to 12:00 carry. It just looked strange to see a bright silver object with a pistol grip in a crossdraw position on an all black duty belt.
