       10 . A taser holster comprising: 
 a first holder configured to removably attach to a user and to receive a taser for storage; and    a second holder configured to be coupled to the first holder and configured to receive one or more taser cartridges for storage;    wherein the first holder comprises an open end to receive the taser and a closed end to support the taser when provided in the first holder;    wherein the second holder is configured to be coupled to the first holder proximate the closed end of the first holder;    wherein the second holder comprises a retaining flap having a first fastener member that is configured to engage a second fastener member provided on the first holder to affix the second holder in a closed position so that taser cartridges may be stored in the second holder; and    wherein the first fastener member is configured to disengage the second fastener member provided on the first holder to provide the second holder in an open configuration so that taser cartridges may be received in the second holder.    
   
   
       11 . The holster of  claim 10 , further comprising an attaching device provided on a rear side of the first holder for attaching the first holder to the user.  
   
   
       12 . The holster of  claim 10 , wherein the first and second holders comprise leather.  
   
   
       13 . The holster of  claim 10 , wherein the first holder comprises a retaining flap for retaining a taser in the carrier and including a third fastener member, the flap configured to extend upwardly from a portion of the first holder, to pass over a rear surface of the taser, and to be engaged with a fourth fastener member affixed to a thumb break.  
   
   
       14 . The holster of  claim 10 , wherein the second holder further comprises a second retaining flap having a fifth fastener member that is configured to engage a sixth fastener member provided on the second holder to affix the second holder in the first position so that a taser cartridge may be stored in the second holder.  
   
   
       15 . The holster of  claim 14 , wherein the fifth fastener member of the second retaining flap is configured to disengage the sixth fastener member provided on the second holder to provide the second holder in the second position so that a taser cartridge may be received in the second holder.  
   
   
       16 . A method of manufacturing a holster for receiving a taser comprising: 
 providing a first holder configured to removably attach to a user and to receive a taser for storage;    providing a second holder configured to be coupled to the first holder and configured to receive one or more taser cartridges for storage;    configuring the first holder to comprise an open end to receive the taser and a closed end to support the taser when provided in the first holder;    configuring the second holder to be coupled to the first holder proximate the closed end of the first holder;    providing a retaining flap on the second holder having a first fastener member that is configured to engage a second fastener member provided on the first holder to affix the second holder in a closed position so that taser cartridges may be stored in the second holder; and    configuring the first fastener member to disengage the second fastener member to provide the second holder in an open configuration so that taser cartridges may be received in the second holder.
