PRIMARY GUARD
A simple yet powerful principle;
Keep the TASER CED out of the Gun-Hand.
Restricting the Gun-Hand is a bold concept.
Our instincts might suggest keeping the Gun-Hand available for an "emergency." In reality, the TASER CED is not a defensive weapon; controlling the TASER CED with the Gun-Hand may be creating the very exigency that we are trying to protect against.
Primary Guard is intended for Law Enforcement Training and for use with a TASER CED (Conducted Energy Device.) Designed to restrict Gun-Hand access, Primary Guard isolates the TASER CED to the Support-Hand (both while training and on-duty,) developing controlling the TASER CED with the Support-Hand into an intended trained response under stress (Procedural Memory.)
Keynote: Gun-Hand TASER CED control (including Cross-Draw,) increases the risk of GBI and Death, affecting Firearm Retention, Weapon Transition and Weapon Confusion. It is an effective and (tangible) effort to the public, and common ground in the pursuit to reduce unintended gun-related deaths, keep the TASER CED out of the Gun-Hand with Primary Guard.

* Why is Primary Guard needed?
Because an agency policy alone cannot prevent the TASER CED from "Switching Hands" after unholstering. This is a practice, where the TASER CED is unholstered using the Support-Hand, and then is switched over to the Gun-Hand to be deployed. In some agencies this may be a trained practice, with other agencies this may be occurring non-consciously by the Officer / Deputy.
* Weapon Confusion and "Switching Hands"
The practice of switching hands develops Gun-Hand control of the TASER CED. As a consequence, an Officer / Deputy unholstering the TASER CED under stress (e.g. subject is resisting or fleeing,) may inadvertently reach for the TASER CED with the hand trained to control the TASER CED (i.e. the Gun-Hand.) The Gun-Hand is incapable of unholstering the TASER CED (Support-Hand Draw,) leaving the Gun-Hand isolated to a single-exit, "the Firearm."
(An unintended trained response)
* Are Gun-Hand related conflicts rare?
Gun-Hand related conflicts often go unidentified, perpetuating the dangerous impression that they are a rare occurrence. Gun-Hand TASER CED control is an emerging and unrealized threat to both Officer Safety and Public Safety.
"Now that a device like this exists, the question that prosecutors will be compelled to ask in future incidents like that of Minnesota is, why did the agency not have Primary Guard?"
