Besides, all a person has to do is just taser someone in the face, neck, legs, or in the groin. Or give 'em a "hot shot" of pepper mace, and then taser them. Either way, watch 'em drop like a rock.

One thing to keep in mind, is that innocent citizens will always find ways to keep themselves safe. And if any gear comes out that proves to be a real deterrent in preventing the effective use of Tasers, one of two things will happen: new Taser technology will be developed to render the gear useless, or people will move up by getting concealed weapons licenses and start carrying guns - and there's no defense against that (and no, bullet proof vests won't ultimately save your life - there are many other places besides a vest area that a person can get seriously wounded, even fatally so).

Being tasered would be preferable to being shot or stabbed. And because people are never going to stop protecting themselves in one way or another, if Tasers help prevent people and law enforcement from otherwise resorting to dangerous means of defense, then those on the receiving end are fortunate.
