Is It A Good Idea For Seniors To Carry Tasers?

Is it a good idea for seniors to carry tasers

? That is a great question and one that unfortunately does not have a blanket answer of yes or no. That can only be answered by saying it depends. It depends on what kind of shape a senior citizen is in both physically and perhaps even more important mentally.

A taser is a wonderful form of non-lethal self-defense. Yes tasers have on some rare occasions taken a life but I would say that any weapon of self-defense that is even the least bit effective in saving a life is going to have some measure of inherent danger of possibly taking a life. Firearms, knives, baseball bats, chairs and even fists I would say can and, usually in all cases, will be more dangerous than a taser and all will almost assuredly leave the person with more serious and lasting injuries. Tasers work by disrupting the bodies nervous system. Basically the attacker, while being tased, will lose voluntary control over his or her own body. Once the electrical charge is stopped the person be tased should regain control within seconds. The same cannot be said for someone that has just received a bullet hole in their abdomen. That hole isnt going to seal itself up in a matter of seconds, minutes or hours. It is going to require a professionals help or the person who has just been shot is most likely in grave danger.

So if a senior citizen (or anyone for that matter) is going to carry a weapon of self-defense i would much rather that weapon be a taser then any of the other weapons I mentioned above. But this still leaves us with the question of whether or not that weapon should be a taser. Seniors for the most part are not as able to handle themselves as they were in their younger days and in my opinion are a prime candidate for a taser. However, not just any senior citizen should be able to carry a taser. They should obviously be of sound mind and body and even-tempered. Anyone carrying a taser should be doing so in the hopes that they will never have to use it. Anyone that goes out hoping they get to use a taser is exactly the type of individual I dont ever want to have walking the streets with such a weapon. A taser should be used only in the event that the user is in real trouble and an attack has already begun or is entirely imminent.

I absolutely think that the vast majority of seniors are capable of harnessing the responsibility of carrying a taser but please use proper judgment for yourself and take careful consideration when considering tasers for seniors.

Stay Safe,
