Stun-guns have saved more lives than they have killed. Jared Strote’s research shows that stun-guns could have played a role only in 27% of 37 deaths (P.1, 2006). The stun-guns were not directly the cause of death, but they could have possibly contributed to the cause of death. Stun-guns give officers a less lethal option of force to use when the use of a firearm could have been applicable. Public’s safety is increased by stun-guns. When police officers get into a gun fight with a suspect it can result in injury of a civilian because bullets start to fly everywhere. Police officers can at times resolve issues by the use of a stun-gun before they escalade into a gun fight. There are no long lasting effects that result from a stun-gun. The stun-gun only temporarily immobilizes the suspect, but after a few minutes they will regain full mobility of their body. There have been a few cases were the use of a stun-gun might have been excessive use of force, but overall stun-guns are effective and save
