It wasn't comfortable.
Quote:Q [Jury]: Did you carry a taser?
A [Wilson]: No.
Q: Why not?
A: I normally don't carry a taser. We only have a select amount. Usually there is one available, but I usually elect not to carry one. It is not the most comfortable thing. They are very large, I don't have room in the front for it to be positioned.
Make what you will of that. He was willing to carry his gun, but the taser...nah. Not comfy enough.
