“Primary Guard was eye-opening. Even with an agency policy that prohibits Gun-Hand TASER control, I never realized how often I still unconsciously held the TASER in my Gun-Hand, such as holding it in my Gun-Hand while doing my daily spark test. Primary Guard just keeps the TASER disciplined to the Support-Hand, practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent.” - T. Livingston / Police Sergeant (California.) Cross-Draw has done nothing to reduce the number of weapon confusion incidents across the country. As long as officers continue to reach for the TASER and the Gun with the same hand, that overlap will continue to give way under stress (it's just a matter of time, and a matter of who's next.) Switching to the Support-Hand just makes sense, I mean, under stress my Support-Hand is physically incapable of grabbing my firearm. I like those odds a whole lot better, for myself and the public.” - J. Vaughn / Sheriff's Deputy (Minnesota.) “There are many proposed solutions to weapon confusion out there, from TASERs that buzz or beep when unholstered, to redesigning the shape of the device itself. Those solutions are looking at the issue (after) the TASER is already "in-hand," and that's why they fail. Primary Guard addresses the root cause of weapon confusion (before) it occurs, shaping the officer’s decision framework under stress. - W. Perkins. / CED Instructor (Minnesota.) “I didn’t understand Primary Guard at first, and then I saw body cam footage of an officer transition a Support-Hand drawn TASER to her Gun-Hand moments before a struggle for her firearm ensued. Watching her not have her Gun-Hand available to defend it was unsettling. That’s when the purpose of Primary Guard became very clear to me.” - R. Carlson. / Sheriff's Deputy (Minnesota.)
