Bruce3:ok you kind of go in two different directions saying that a less than lethal round can kill but than you say a less than lethal round is "as useful as a one legged table" if a less than lethal round can kill and also have possibility to stop some one i see no difference than real ammo other than i can tell the officer "i really didnt mean to kill him" "look rubber bullets" . a gun in the safe would be an option not necessarily the first.
Read my post carefully. I said that a HANDGUN with less lethal rounds (if there's such a thing) would be as useful as a one legged table.
Less lethal rounds, properly deployed by qualified personnel under the right circumstances, have their place in the Use of Force Continuum/Force Options Chart. However, to have a handgun with such rounds would not be considered proper deployment.
Improper use of any firearm can result in death. Notice I said "less lethal" and not "less than lethal" because even these projectiles can (and have) cause death if improperly deployed.
