I remember watching the video & thinking "Bullshit he thought he was pulling his tazer!".

Now, lethal/non-lethal rounds that can be fired from the same weapon presents a different safety challenge.

Come to think of it though, I think that if I were the cop facing down a 'bad guy', I would prefer a non-lethal/lethal combination in the same weapon. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be screwing around with a tazer with my primary weapon still holstered if it's my life on the line when things go seriously pear-shaped. I think 1 or 2 tazer rounds backed-up by #00 in the same magazine would make me feel more comfortable, personally.
