I think the combination of my bright MG light must have partially blinded them enough to see nothing but a red dot emitting from my palm. However my MS light was reflecting off enough reflection off the wall of the house behind me where the passenger saw my arm movement. I wear my C2 taser in a quick draw holster openly on my side on my belt. The grip is somewhat deceiving looking like a grip of a gun. It's black color and the grip has an inner tube for better grip. I had cop looking twice at it when they drive pass me in daylight, but they never gave me any hassle about it. I've never thought in my life that I will have a need for it. I bought it only because of couple of mishaps I had from years back.
