Left unsaid was if the man was actually hit by the taser, but I suppose the point is rather moot. Thanks again, Gun Bunny.

Teh stoopid is doubly strong today. A DDD was used as to which thread Editor it would go to. And I still don’t know where Canandaigua is but I do know this:
(a) We need a Georgie Patton today…desperately!
(b) “…Browning… considered the world’s foremost firearms inventor.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Canandaigua is SE of Rochester, NY in beautiful upstate NY. That area is wonderland for motorcycle touring in summer and fall. Watkins Glenn is not far from there.
Wine country.
Watkins Glen. Even I’ve heard of that place. Racing, isn’t it?
