Explore every option and think outside the box. That ability to think outside the box can be the difference between life and death. Between freedom and jail. And you not only get one chance, you may only have milliseconds to decide. So figure it out first. Because a jury will take months picking it all apart.

What would you do then? You need to be more specific than just thinking outside the box.

This is why I always carry a pocket stun device. That super loud FRYIN' BACON sound cuts thru the noise and all the ambient slush in public places. Who can forget that punk on TV screaming: "DON'T TASE ME BRO, DON'T TASE ME!" YOUTUBE is full of nuts who've taken a shot and dropped on the spot. All that is needed is for somebody to trigger a taser/stun gun (distance to contact is the difference) and watch 'em turn loose! If they don't, if they're so focused on the matter at hand, sidle up next to one and zap 'em! Very little to worry about in the way of personal liability and the draw and shoot option remains viable.

The question would be how many states allow you to actually carry a tazer?

(I found this has it state by state)
TASER Laws
in Tx it says

46.01 No applicable definition

so without a deffinition I would think not many people would carry or carry and if an officer saw that you would spend some time trying to convince him you werent up to bad deeds with it.

In my state (FL) it's not an issue, nor is it in most states. But you've got to be specific when referring to the device. a TASER is something that projects two small darts trailing current carrying wire. The probes (darts) are all serial numbered and registered and that makes them less likely to be used in a nefarious manner. Tasers and Taser Cartridges however they can also be used as a contact device as well, I think. OTOH, a contact device like mine can ONLY be used in close proxmity to the subject and is a very different critter Rechargeable Stun Gun This version cost an average of $50 but I got one identical last month at a gun show for just $15.

With the Taser, you can also remove the dart/wire cartridge and use the device like a traditional stun gun. It's called dry stun or dry firing.

If several officers are on the ground wrestling and trying to subdue a suspect, they will often remove the cartridge and dry stun them to assist in subduing the suspect.

That's an added benefit of a Taser is that they can be used either way.

Yeah, except it is still a heckuva lot bigger than the much smaller "contact only" device which is the size of a pack of cigarettes and shaped the same. The TASER is shaped (deliberately I think) like a Star Trek (Next Generation) PHASER. That makes it bulkier. I use the contact device as a layer of my defensive capabilities, so I need for it to fit neatly and discreetly into one of the pockets of the cargo pants I wear all the time. I just love all those pockets. My EDC is carried IWB and I count that as the final line of defense. I think that making actual contact with the device is even a layer. My first use of it will be audible. I also often use it in places like movie theaters for the flashlight mode. It's dim enough to help me find a seat discreetly or to attract to me a buddy or the wife who may have gone to the snack bar and be lost getting back to the seat. For a brighter light, I also carry a surefire. Different pocket. Spare mag goes in a carrier on the belt under my cover garment. It sounds hugely bulky but it's not. However, I'm mighty careful around pools, lakes or any body of water I might stroll near here in southern Florida!

Simple. I'd put bullets in heads. It's obvious that the life of the girl being beaten is in danger. That's all that is required in my state to end the attack with lethal force. Fu(king animals!

Let's all be sure to send some words of love to the animal that beat this girl:
