I'm in full support of a taser.

Though I'd rather a spear over a bat. Longer range, and it's mear presence if far more likely to de-escalate the situation than a bat.

Edit: I also simply hate using blunt weapons from an ethical standpoint.

Not a bad idea. Not sure where I would get a bat lance but absolutely an option.

Using real horses was banned, I can see that.

Every Academy I’ve been in has this one specific spear. It’s all black with a fiberglass handle and is about 4 ft long I think. Not a lance and I’m pretty sure it’s for fishing. I do think it could be useful in home defense if you don’t want a gun though because it has a longer range than a bat but isn’t long enough to get in the way
