update on Tasers from SPARTY

Sparty was as good as his word and checked with a relative of his (who is a Michigan state trooper)
" ... about the range of tasers. He says the range is determined by the type of cartridge in the taser gun - some have a range of 15 feet, some 20, some 25 (the most common one used by State Police), and he thinks there may be one that has a range of 35 feet. He said they're usually used at relatively close range to deal with unruly people. He says whenever he's used a taser gun it was during a foot chase where he thought he might not be able to outrun the suspect. He says they end the chase very quickly."
