Perhaps a taser will require a different holster latch and be pulled by the officer's "off-hand" rather than their primary hand.

I think it'll make officers who use tasers in their job, more aware of which they're using. It will become more instinctual so that in that last split-second when they have to pull SOMETHING out of a holster, they'll pull the right thing.
I am in COMPLETE agreement and I wrote about the same thing before I got to your pg 4 post. Same general idea!
