Tasers

People can be brutal, especially hungry people. No one knows what the future will bring but the economic horizon doesn’t look good. Could we be facing angry and hungry mobs anytime soon? Who can say? But regardless of what the future brings, personal safety and self defense is something that wise people make allowances for far in advance of trouble.

By far, one of the most effective items for personal self defense is the Taser. A Taser is a lightweight, battery operated self defense device that delivers a lasting jolt of high-voltage electricity to an aggressor stopping him dead in his tracks. Tasers have been credited with saving many lives.

The Taser is a non-lethal article of personal protection gear designed to give the user the ultimate self defense tool on the market. Tasers are used by law enforcement agencies the world over as well as by individual law abiding citizens. There are several varieties of Tasers available to the public at large.

Advanced Tazer guns are designed to stop aggressive individuals with a high tolerance for pain and those with advanced endurance training. Through the use of Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) technology the device causes uncontrollable muscle contractions, which renders the attacker temporarily helpless. EMD WEAPONS use a powerful 18 to 26 Watt electrical signal to completely override the central nervous system and directly control the skeletal muscles.

One model in particular has initial stopping capability greater than a 9mm handgun. The electrical energy discharged by the Taser can penetrate up to two inches of clothing. Additionally, Taser International manufactures the only device that can incapacitate individuals under the influence of PCP and other dangerous drugs.

Taser devices can stop an attacker from up to 15 feet or they can be discharged directly to the body for the stun effect. While pepper spray must make contact to the aggressor’s face, contact by a Taser device virtually anywhere on the body is effective in most cases, making it easier to use and more effective than any other personal self defense product available outside of a handgun.

Tasers are not considered firearms and are legal in most states. However, if you are considering the purchase of a Taser you should check with local and state law enforcement authorities for possible restrictions. The use of a Taser carries with it considerable responsibility. In an effort to promote responsible use the company requires that the user undergo a background check to help prevent misuse of the device.

If you’re serious about personal self defense the Taser has more stopping power than any device short of a handgun. If you often find yourself in harm’s way or anticipate that you may be at risk any time in the future, Taser has several powerful models for you to choose from.
