I have always been a pro-handgun supporter, but I have always said that if
someone comes up with a suitable non-lethal way (like a stun gun) to
incapacitate a perpetrator from a distance that I would support the
disarming of the public (like anyone would really care about my position!)
Anyway, it looks like the military has taken the first step to developing
that weapon. It has quite a way to go before it will replace handguns, but
it is a start.
Set your phasers on stun.....
