I shot that same glock last week. Glock 23 is nice firearm. You cannot mistake it for a taser. Only an idiot would.
Congratulations on going to shooting ranges and shooting weapons. I on the other hand own a ton of guns, Including the glock 23 and glock 27.

Maybe someday you will know what it's like to pull a gun on someone, your hand goes numb even with your adrenaline pumping, thats why people are trained to pull and unsafety the gun immediately. Regardless of it being a taser or a gun, when it comes out of the holster, it's ready to fire.

From your article

"1. You pull out the lightweight, brightly colored weapon. You load the cartridge onto the tip of the barrel. The cartridge is fat and rectangular, looking nothing like a pistol barrel."

*the cartridges are preloaded 99% of the time, That's the green square you see on the end of them. This article makes it seem like you have to self load it every time, completely inaccurate like most of this opinion piece.

Obviously the "we hate the police sentiment" runs strong in this thread, but i urge you to go out and see the usual bullshit the police deal with on an everyday basis, and i guarantee most of you would still be hiding behind the keyboard before trading your keyboard for a gun/taser and defending the streets.
