Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago, IL The IOPC’s regional director, Sal Naseem, said: “Our thoughts remain with Mr Omishore’s family and all of those affected by his death. We continue to liaise with his family and to keep them updated on the progress of our independent investigation.

J Emerg Med 46:428–435 On 5 June a Met press statement, issued after the man had died, said: “Police were called at 09:03hrs on Saturday, 4 June to a report of a disturbance in Chelsea Bridge Road, SW1. It was reported that a man was armed with a screwdriver and shouting at the location.” At Wheldon Law we have a team of specialist firearm defence solicitors, with extensive experience in defending firearms cases. We have had considerable success in helping people avoid the specified 5 year minimum imprisonment term for carrying a taser torch. If you do use the stun gun, you should consider charging it at least once every two months. Stun Gun vs. TASER Whilst people are often unaware they are breaking the law by bringing a taser torch into the UK and claim they ‘did not know it was illegal’, this is not a valid defence. Merely possessing such an item is classified as an offence of strict liability, which means that it does not matter that you did not deliberately do anything wrong.

But hang on, there’s more. JOLT, as you may know already, has a 200-lumen output, but that is not the only brightness mode. There is a low mode with 160-lumen output and a strobe mode, which is another excellent function when it comes to tactical situations. With the ON/OFF Switch in the ON position, slide the Safety Switch to the middle position and the LED flashlight will come on. Note: the stun gun will not work with the LED flashlight on.
