Tips Regarding How To Responsibly Have A Weapon For Protection

By Justain C Savage


Personal safety is something which I never, ever take softly. Crime is on the rise and I can just benefit from carrying a self-defense weapon. At first, I was scared of the idea but my sibling assured me of a solution to remedy that.

His idea came in the form of a Taser. As I was told, it is a non-lethal weapon that has a greater effectiveness rate when compared to a 9-mm. handgun, but then is it legal to carry a Taser stun gun in my place of residence?

In the state of California where I live, citizens can carry Tasers except in certain areas including government buildings and also airports. It was great that I looked up Taser laws because I intend on taking this unit in my travels. Specific states and cities totally prohibit its use.

I find a Taser to be a really good option to a firearm or a knife. My sibling got me a Taser C2 Gold Kit that contained 2 live cartridges, 1 cartridge for training, a holster as well as a target for practice.

What gives a Taser a great edge is that it can be used from a safe range while also allowing close contact use if necessary. The 2 probes which shoot out from it could hit a target from around 15 feet away. Alternatively, a Taser can be utilized just like a stun gun to thwart an assailant in close proximity.

It makes me feel much more safe understanding that a Taser can temporarily debilitate anyone regardless of his level of pain tolerance. This is due to its use of electro-muscular disruption (EMD) technology, which disables the sensory as well as motor functions of the central nervous system.

In spite of its extraordinary stopping power, a Taser is a non-lethal defense weapon that doesn't cause any permanent effects. It is just meant to disable an assailant temporarily to give victims ample time to escape.

Right now, where else is it lawful to carry a Taser for personal defense? How about where you live? It pays to find out these things before considering getting a self-defense weapon to avoid legal problems.
