LETTER: Proposed Taser ban a bad idea for personal freedom

When the People for Taser-Free Columbia challenged the police department's use of Tasers that was one thing. They made enough noise that there were a lot of changes in procedures for deploying the weapons. They failed to make the police department give up the Tasers. Next they started a petition drive to get on the ballot, but expanded their initiative to include my stun gun. This is not acceptable and violates my personal freedom. I have a stun gun; I will use it if threatened. If you do not want me to shock you with it, do not try to harm me or take what little I have.
