Some Things To Consider Before You Buy Stun Guns Online

A stun gun is a wonderfully effective piece of non-lethal self-defense hardware and I think a device that any law abiding citizen should have the right to carry. If you are a senior citizen or female living alone and want to feel an extra sense of security without having to carry a firearm then a stun gun could certainly be exactly what you are looking for. However, before you decide to jump online and buy a stun gun there are some things to consider first.

First and foremost you have to make sure that owning and carrying a stun device is in fact legal in your area. Most states have no restrictions whatsoever on stun devices but 11 states do have some restrictions. Stun guns are completely illegal to buy, sell or own in the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. In Wisconsin and Illinois stun guns are legal but with certain restrictions. In those two states one needs to basically have a legal firearms license in order to purchase and carry a stun device. I don’t want to get away from the point of this article but it always fascinates me when I see a state that makes a non-lethal self-defense device, like a stun gun, illegal but owning a firearm that kills thousands of people a year completely legal with the proper identification and licensure.

Secondly, it is extremely important to remember that although stun devices were designed as a non-lethal and more humane alternative to firearms they still possess the ability to injure or even kill (although fatalities due to stun devices is extremely rare). Any self-defense device that is going to be effective is certainly going to come with an inherent safety risk or it wouldn’t be effective now would it? With that in mind you need to treat a stun gun with the utmost care. Certainly never let anyone else handle it and if I need to tell you to keep a stun device away from children than I pray that you will never own one in the first place. These devices are not nearly as dangerous as a firearm but they are certainly still dangerous and should be treated as such. At home, especially if there are others living with you, you should keep your stun device in a lock box but close enough to retrieve the device should an intruder enter your residence.

So please consider buying a stun gun online if you are looking for a humane yet effective non-lethal self-defense weapon but as with any weapon use caution and careful consideration before doing so.

Tasers Have Been Wrongfully Vilified

In 2009 a gentleman by the name of Jack Cover passed away and very few people will ever recognize that name. It’s a shame really because Cover’s invention, one he invented in 1974, has saved more lives than we may ever know. His invention was the Taser gun and the very intention of the Taser gun is to save lives, plain and simple. It was invented to give police an alternative to firearms as an effective means of self-defense. Unfortunately for Mr. Cover his invention is often looked at in a negative light.

I would say at least half the YouTube videos that feature a Taser and police in any way are featuring it with the intention of showing it as an example of the police in the video using excessive force. Of those I would say that a very small portion are anything even close to resembling excessive force. I won’t say all though and I understand that there are just some meat-head police officers that do use excessive force and it’s unfortunate. Although it does kind of highlight my point that Tasers shouldn’t be so quickly vilified. If I’m going to have a police officer use excessive force on me with a weapon I can think of a lot worse weapon to be attacked with than a Taser like a .357 for example. My preference would to be attacked by neither but you understand my point. Tasers save lives when it’s the alternative to a weapon like a firearm that leaves a gaping hole in a human that needs to be closed by a doctor or the human will die.

Tasers have killed people but the percentage is unbelievably small, much smaller than any weapon on Earth, including guns, knives, swords, bats, chairs and possibly fists when it comes to anything that has ever been used as a weapon. Any item of self-defense that is even the least bit effective is obviously going to come with some inherent level of danger. The weapon would be useless and ineffective if it didn’t at least have the potential to harm, especially if used inappropriately or incorrectly.

At the end of the day though Tasers were designed by Mr. Cover to allow police to defend themselves and/or subdue an unruly and dangerous perpetrator without having to take that individual's life or severely injure them with a firearm. So before we condemn an instrument of non-lethal self-defense like the Taser let us consider what it was designed to be an alternative to, the firearm.

Occupy Wall Street Has Led To Yet Another Incident That Has Given Tasers A Bad Name

Poor Tasers. Once again another incident has occurred that has caused great harm to a wonderful product and once again Tasers have been unjustly vilified. Yet again tasers are being looked at as an evil torturous weapon, yielded by crooked, blood-thirsty cops against meek and innocent do-gooders who did not deserve such harsh and foul treatment. What a crock of (expletive deleted). It’s a shame really because Tasers, manufactured by Taser International, were designed to be a non-lethal alternative to firearms. Let’s think about that for a second. It seems anytime a Taser is used we hear cries about how it was used unfairly but the simple fact of the matter is that I’d rather be tased than shot (or stabbed, beaten, clubbed, etc…) any day of the week. Tasers don’t leave people dead or even with any lasting injuries, Tasers simply incapacitate. They have given law enforcement and private citizens a way to protect themselves and others without having to kill another human being. Instead of vilifying Tasers we should be praising them.
Okay, the Occupy Wallstreet incident I am referring to is the latest one from Washington D.C. where a gentleman in his pajamas is tased. The video can be found on YouTube and after viewing the video I was astonished at reading some of the posts by the ignoramuses of the world trying to suggest that this was somehow an abuse of power buy the police who tased this pajama clad idiot. Listen, you can clearly hear the guy saying “I’ve done nothing wrong” and perhaps that is true but you know what you should do when multiple officers of the law are telling you to stop and cooperate even if you haven’t done anything? You stop and cooperate. If you are being unfairly punished then talk to a lawyer and go after those crooked cops in a legal and sane fashion. This protestor is screaming about how he’s done nothing wrong as he’s trying to run from cops and flailing his arms and legs to avoid them restraining him. That’s called resisting arrest and the lady officer trying to subdue him is half his size. If a 120 pound female officer is trying to get a 200 pound man to stop struggling and play nice and he won’t listen that officer has every right, if not the obligation to those around her to tase that moron. Saying anything to the contrary is just nonsense in my opinion. Should she use a gun next time, how about her fists or maybe a night stick? Think about it logically. If the guy is really innocent and hadn’t done anything he has just hurt his chances at a countersuit against the officer by resisting arrest like the moron that he is.
Tasers have absolutely, emphatically, unquestionably saved many lives since their introduction but they always receive a bad rap and it is something that just really irks me. If a law enforcement officer or private citizen abuses the power Tasers yield and wrongfully tases someone then they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law but this was yet another case where that was not the case.

Think Outside The Box (Of Chocolates) This Valentine’s Day And Get Her Pepper Spray

There are two ways you can play Valentine’s Day this year. You can get your significant other what every other man is getting his sweetheart or you can be thoughtful and original. If you want to get what every other man is getting his sweetheart you’ll want to go the candy, flowers or jewelry route. This is all fine and well and you will find plenty of women who enjoy candy, flowers and jewelry (my wife included) but why be like everyone else and get another forgettable gift on another forgettable holiday? If you ask me getting your significant other candy, flowers or jewelry simply says ‘I only care enough to get what society tells me I should be getting you on this day and not enough to have an original thought and get you something unique’. Go ahead and write that in the card you give your girlfriend along with her red roses and see what her reaction is.
Now, the other alternative is to get your sweetie something completely original and something she can really use and that is pepper spray. I know that doesn’t sound very romantic but if you think about it what is the message you are sending when giving your Valentine a canister of pepper spray? Ito me personally it says that you care very much for her and want her to be protected at all times. Feeling protected and wanting to be protected is something that is very basic for all human beings and your significant other is certainly no exception. A box of chocolate or half dozen long stemmed roses is fine and dandy but it isn’t going to do her any good when she’s walking alone without you and is attacked by a mugger. Pepper spray on the other hand will put that mugger in his place and make sure your sweetheart gets home safe. And defensive sprays like pepper spray and mace are non-lethal and leave no lasting side effects so giving her pepper spray for Valentine’s day will show her that you are not only interested in protecting her but that you also care deeply for your fellow man. Protective and caring are two wonderful character traits that any woman adores. So do yourself and your loved one a favor this Valentine’s Day and get her something she can really use, pepper spray. Just so you know, defensive sprays come in all colors including pink.

Happy Valentine’s Day,
Carl Vouer

Humane Self Defense Starts With Knowing Where To Buy Pepper Spray

When you hear the words ‘self defense’ there are a few images that may come to mind. Even though I have been in the business of non-lethal self-defense products for many years now I still hear those words and picture someone doing karate. The words are pretty self-explanatory though; self defense is simply the act of defending one’s self. I think everyone should have a plan for defending themselves and in my humble opinion I think any of these ways should include being as humane to your fellow man as possible and should by all means be non-lethal. I don’t want to be responsible for taking the life of another regardless of the circumstances. I believe everyone should have some means of defending themselves at all times but at the same time I truly believe in the motto ‘live and let live’. As such I always make sure I’m carrying some tool of non-lethal self-defense on my person at all times and more often than not this tool is pepper spray.

Pepper spray is immensely effective at stopping an attack. In fact some police studies have shown that pepper spray can be every bit as effective as some handguns and unlike a handgun it can stop an attack without sending another human being to the hospital or morgue. Why should we care so much about the well-being of someone who has just tried to attack us when that person obviously doesn’t have the same regard for our life or well-being? How about because we can be the better man (or woman) and show compassion for others even if they might not show the same compassion and humanity for us. Also people can change and some criminals can be rehabilitated and we should perhaps give people a second chance to redeem themselves, a little difficult to do if you’ve just been shot in the head. For example, let’s say some poor guy who is really down on his luck finds himself strung out on drugs and to get his next fix decides to snatch a purse. This gentleman is breaking the law and should certainly be punished but does he deserve to die or even be permanently wounded? I don’t feel he does.

Aside from the moral aspects of choosing pepper spray over other forms of self-defense it is just a weapon that is ideal for any god-fearing, law-abiding citizen in that it is not only effective but easy to carry and extremely easy to use without any formal training. So for all of these reasons I hope that the next time you are considering an item of self defense that you make it pepper spray.

Who Should Buy Tasers?

When considering a non-lethal self-defense device many people will automatically think of Tasers as they are a very popular item used by law enforcement and private citizens alike. The reason they are so popular is because they can be every bit as effective, if not more so, than a firearm and are certainly the most effective non-lethal device available today. However, this level of effectiveness comes with an inherent level of danger and the purchasing of such a device is one that should be weighed carefully and in some parts of the country isn’t even an option as they have been deemed illegal. When studies show a device being more effective than a 9mm handgun, as some police studies have shown, you can bet that we are talking about a device that is not suitable for just anyone. So who should buy a Taser?, that is what I would like to discuss.

I firmly believe that every law-abiding citizen should have the right, if not the responsibility to one’s self and family, to be protected at all times by carrying some tool of self-defense. I also firmly believe that this tool should not be a firearm as that would make the world a far more dangerous place than it is already. There are several options when discussing non-lethal self-defense weapons and varying degrees of effectiveness and danger with each option. Pepper spray, for example, can be very effective and is much less dangerous, in my opinion, than a Taser but it is also not nearly as effective. Some assailants can fight through the pain of being sprayed with pepper spray but almost nobody can fight through the incapacitating effects of a Taser and this is why Tasers can be more effective than a 9mm handgun. Tasers do not rely on causing pain to the attacker; they simply take away an attacker’s ability to control their own bodies by disrupting the natural neurological pathways using electricity.

Tasers are sold as’ non-lethal’ devices and well over 99% of the time they are used they are just that, non-lethal. However, unfortunate events do happen and a relatively small number of fatalities have resulted from the use of Taser devices (relative to that of firearms, knives, etc…). So although I do not consider these devices to be all that likely to cause a fatality they are still very dangerous and should only be used by either law enforcement or someone that has both the proper training and a clean criminal record. In most states it is legal to buy and carry a Taser and this concerns me only because I would hate for a Taser to be used for any other reason than to defend an innocent person. So please use careful consideration if you are contemplating buying a Taser device yourself.
