subject: Tasers - Great For Self-defense [print this page] Tasers are a great way of self defense for the modern voter defending him or herself and his or her family. They're user friendly and highly effective, yet not as certain to be lethal as firearms. But one or two unfortunate situations have involved the utilization of Tasers, and so their sale and possession is restricted by law in certain states.
But to be fair, it must be noted that many of these situations only happen to involve Tasers, but the few fatalities that occurred can't necessarily be blamed on their use. As an example, in the case of people with existing conditions, the electric shock generated may prove threatening, but that's hardly the fault of the Taser.
On otherwise healthy subjects, the Taser produces a decently high but ultimately safe amount of electricity to stop all assailants in their tracks, even alcohol-fueled or drug-addled criminals who have a tendency to be more physically reasonable of and more immune to discomfort.
Civilian-grade Tasers can successfully target a perpetrator up to fifteen feet away, but police dep. varieties are capable of a full 30 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, permitting escape or providing ample time for law enforcement to arrive on the scene.
In case of escape, the Taser can get left behind to pin the enemy down, rendering him unable to follow or cause any further 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 needed of this helpful lifetime guarantee is that the device be damaged or lost during use in an actual event, as detailed by a police office report provided to the company.
