People Who Buy Tasers Online Are Rarely Into the Whole Getting Mugged Thing

If you are one of those hate-getting-mugged types than perhaps buying a taser online is something that you may want to consider. Tasers, much like Band-Aids and Jello, is actually a brand name that people will often use to generically describe other similar devices of its kind. Make no mistake though, there is only one Taser and it’s manufactured by Taser International.

Tasers work by shooting small barbs attached to wires from the gun and then these barbs hook themselves to the assailants clothing and/or skin. The projectile is fueled by small compressed nitrogen cartridges similar to the ones in many pellet or paintball guns. Although the tasers available to law enforcement often have a range of more than 30 feet, the tasers available to citizens is limited to 15 feet. Once the barbs attach themselves, an electrical, but non-lethal current can be delivered. This high-voltage current incapacitates the assailant by interrupting the body’s natural neuromuscular algorithm. In layman’s terms this simply means that the assailant’s body no longer responds to the signals from the assailant’s brain. He or she loses control over their own body until the individual holding the gun stops the current. Contrary to some beliefs, this device does not work by administering pain so much as it works by simply incapacitating the assailant’s ability to function.

Tasers, like any weapon, are now and will forever more be surrounding with some measure of controversy. They were introduced as non-lethal and in the vast majority of cases they are just that. Not only non-lethal but rarely does this weapon leave it’s ‘victim’ with any lasting injuries whatsoever. The same can certainly not be said for a firearm. Even if a firearm does not kill an assailant he or she will now be left with a hole in their body that will most likely require a trained professional to close. Tasers and stun devices are much more humane than many of the weapons out there and I will argue that point with anyone at any time. If I was to be the type of scumbag who would attempt to attack another innocent person then I would hope for my sake that the person whom I was cowardly enough to attack would in turn be humane enough to defend themselves by hitting me with a taser rather than a firearm, bat, knife, sword, steel chair, etc. Do you see my point?

With all of this said, a taser and the choice to carry one should never under any circumstances be taken lightly. They are as effective as any non-lethal tool of self-defense can be but can also cause serious injury or death if used irresponsibly or in any fashion other than its specific and intended use which is to protect the innocent.

Stay Safe,
