What if Gun-Hand TASER® CED use is needed in an "emergency?"

We are unaware of any case, where an officer needed to "switch" the TASER® CED to their Gun-Hand for self-defense, to avoid being killed or injured. Why? Because the TASER® CED is not a defensive weapon. Now compare that to the number of individuals that have been killed, injured, or the agencies / officers that have been sued or have had their careers destroyed because of a TASER® CED Gun-Hand conflict.

 

The risk isn't restricting the Gun-Hand, but failing to.

What is a "Force Mutiplier?"

A term often used in the military and law enforcement. It refers to anything that enhances the effectiveness of an individual or unit without increasing resources.

Primary Guard being a force multiplier means:​

  • Increases public safety with no additional resources needed.

  • Reduces the risk of lethal mistakes.

  • Reinforces proper Support-Hand discipline.

  • Strengthens training and muscle memory.

  • Leads to more reliable outcomes under stress.

  • Has a compounding effect: one simple, pro-active measure (Primary Guard) can prevent multiple tragic outcomes.

 

Making Primary Guard a required device - is it a risk to the Agency?

​Similar to a Firearm Retention holster (Force Multiplier,) a firearm retention holster imposes a controlled risk (retention levels) to prevent an Officer from being disarmed, Primary Guard applies controlled risk through restriction of the Gun-Hand, to reduce the likelihood of Weapon Confusion and to prevent an Officer from being disarmed. In both cases, a controlled risk is introduced to protect against a far greater risk. (i.e., accidental discharges, lawsuits, death, injury and harm to public trust.)

What about the learning curve "risk," to Support-Hand TASER® CED control?

Change often meets resistance - especially when it challenges ingrained personal preferences. The risk to public safety that comes with Gun-Hand TASER® CED outweighs any temporary adjustment period.

But here are some keys:​

  • Comfort and accuracy improve with deliberate training.

  • Muscle memory and fine motor skills adapt quickly when the training is consistent and scenario-driven.

  • Officers regularly train to shoot accurately with both hands for this reason.

  • Training can be phased and supported. Start with transition drills, then low-stress scenarios. 

  • The “dangerous curve” is more a perception than reality - especially when training is prioritized.

What's Really at Risk?

TASER® CED use with the Gun-Hand raises the risk of:

  • Death

  • Great Bodily Injury (GBI)

  • Weapon Confusion

  • Firearm Retention Failures

  • Deadly Cross-Draw Transitions

​​Are Gun-Hand conflicts rare?

Many Gun-hand TASER® CED conflicts are often misclassified or unidentified, creating the false (dangerous) belief they are "rare." For Weapon Confusion alone, the U.S. has experienced a major Weapon Confusion incident every year, for the past 23 years, with five fatalities. The threat posed by controlling the TTASER® CED with the Gun-Hand remains an underrecognized and growing threat to Public Safety.​

 

​​

​Is Primary Guard permanently attached to the TASER® CED?​

Primary Guard is secured to the TASER® CED with a durable, water and heat resistant (non-permanent) mounting strip, and is removeable with no damage to the TASER® CED. Primary Guard is interchangeable between left-hand / right-hand users and fits all TASER® CED models and holsters (Primary Guard Warranty.)

​​​

How might Primary Guard be viewed by the public? 

When a TASER® CED is equipped with Primary Guard the public sees more than equipment, they see intention. Common Ground in reducing unintended gun-related deaths and injuries.
