Nope, not a good idea. They aren't reliably capable of incapacitating someone; they generally only have one shot and if you miss you can't fire again; they can easily be defeated by thick clothing; and if you do manage to hit someone, they are only effective for as long as they deliver electricity... what are you going to do, stand there holding the trigger and continually zapping the guy for 15 minutes while you wait for the police to show up?
