if someone was threatening me with a taser I would not hesitate to shoot them first because I would be unable to defend myself or protect my weapon if they did.

That says it all right there. You could even substitute pepper spray for taser. Having been both sprayed with a very healthy dose of pepper spray (Aerko's Freeze +P) and tased for 5 seconds on 3 different occasions (Taser X26 LE model each time). I can easily justify shooting someone threatening me with either weapon. I can do this because I know from experience that if either one is used on me I will be incapacitated to the point where I would be unable to defend myself from further more serious injury or death.
I can say in all honesty that if I am ever seriously threatened by someone with a "less lethal" weapon it just became a deadly force day.
