E-GUN SAFE USE AND HANDLING
•• Each person is responsible for researching and deciding when and where it is appropriate to use a E-gun weapon for self defense based on legal, community and other standards •• E-GUN weapons are serious weapons and should be treated as such at all times •• E-GUN weapons are NOT a substitute for deadly force •• All users of E-GUN weapons must obey all laws, regulations, and license requirements in the operation and use of a E-GUN weapon 
E-GUN SAFETY RULES •• An E-GUN loaded with a live cartridge must not be pointed at another person or body part •• LASERs must not be pointed at eyes •• Manual Safety on E-GUN should remain on safe until ready to use
E-GUN RISKS •• WARNING. Energy weapons can temporarily incapacitate a target. •• WARNING. Energy weapons can cause death or serious injury. •• WARNING. Obey warnings, instructions and all laws. •• WARNING. Comply with current training materials and requirements.
DIFFERENT LEVELS OF NMI What are the different levels of NMI? Incapacitation of voluntary muscles - Large Probe Spread Probes are separated by 12 or more inches. Translates to a target being =7 or more feet away. Enough muscles are between and around the probes for the electricity to complete the circuit and have the desired effect.     Limited Incapacitation of a small/isolated group of muscles - Small probe spread/drive stun
    Probes are separated by less than 12 inches. Translates to a target that is less than =7 feet away.
    Not enough muscles are between and around the probes to cause sufficient incapacitation. However, it can still dissuade the attacker enough to get away. For example, if a leg was sufficiently affected to stop them from pursuing you.
    Backup: Drive the front of the TASER device into the attacker's body creating a third point of contact to effect more muscles.
    Drive Stun alone will not achieve NMI.
Please carefully read over and familiarize yourself with each section of the Hawaii Revised Statutes listed below.
