Hey Jody, I just talked to my buddy and he was worried about the law suits that could happen via tazers. Pepper spray is considered non lethal and you could not be sued if you provided this protection for your employee's, but with tazers you could be sued and or your business could be sued by the family of the person who was tazered in the event that he died during the event of being tazered. He also said that if your guys wanted to buy themselves knifes, and proved that THEY bought them and not you, then that would be a way for you to not have liability in case someone was stabbed in self defense. But he was leary about that because it would have happened on company time. He said that you should consult your insurance company and a business lawyer to determine if this is legal and if they could carry knifes. Some are legal and some are not. I think having someone show them how to use and or carry pepper spray would be the way to go. It's cool that you look out after your guys, I wish more people-company's cared as much as you do about the guys who work for you.
