The Ultimate Self-Defense
Thursday, June 10th, 2010Tasers are a great way of self defense for the modern citizen defending him or herself and his or her family. They are user friendly and very efficient, yet not as certain to be deadly as weapons. But a few unlucky events have concerned the utilisation of Tasers, and so their sale and possession is restricted by law in certain states.
But to be fair, it ought to be mentioned that many of those situations only happen to involve Tasers, but the few fatalities which happened can’t necessarily be blamed on their use. For example, in the case of people with existing conditions, the electric shock generated may prove deadly, but that is barely down to the Taser.
On otherwise healthy subjects, the Taser produces a moderately high but ultimately safe amount of electricity to stop all attackers in their tracks, even alcohol-fueled or drug-addled criminals who are more physically tolerant of and more impervious to discomfort.
Civilian-grade Tasers can successfully target a perpetrator up to fifteen feet away, but police department kinds are capable of a full thirty feet. Tasers work by shooting two minute metal objects into the target that help conduct the electricity over such distances. The miscreant will be shocked, allowing escape or providing sufficient time for law enforcement to arrive on the scene.
In the event of escape, the Taser can be left behind to pin the enemy down, rendering him unable to follow or cause any farther trouble. And if the Taser is later found to be damaged or not found at all, a replacement can be ordered free from the company! All that’s’s needed of this useful lifetime guarantee is that the device be damaged or lost during use in an honest to goodness situation, as detailed by a police dep. report provided to the company.
