A beanbag round isn't necessarily going to stop an invader. Sure, it's fine for the police to use one. On an individual who is not an imminent threat, and with a few buddies standing by with sidearms at the ready. Tasers are also terrible weapons. You get one shot and it can be thwarted by an extra layer of clothes. A beanbag shotgun is better for self-defense. Mainly because the shotgun makes for a good club. Less than lethal weapons are generally less than ideal.

God, so atrocious in the Old Testament, so attractive in the New--the Jekyl and Hyde of sacred romance.
-Mark Twain
If people are good only because they fear punishment and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
