Michigan Lawmakers Are Finally Making Some Sense And Letting Their Citizens Buy A Taser

As of right now it is still illegal to buy, sell, own or carry a Taser in the state of Michigan but that looks to be changing if a new bill is passed. This new bill would allow citizens of Michigan to legally purchase and carry a Taser, provided they have a Concealed Pistol License (CPL). This would be a wonderful adjustment to the state’s laws and one that would allow citizens to defend themselves in a humane, non-lethal way not afforded them by handguns.
What I find so crazy is that it took until the year 2012 to get around to introducing this bill. When you consider the fact that it is legal in Michigan (with the proper license) to carry a concealed firearm, that works by blasting a hole in an attacker, yet it is still illegal in this same state to stop that same attacker in a much more humane fashion that won’t kill or even seriously injure the attacker. If you could explain to me how that makes any sense please leave a comment in the comments section below because to me this seems utterly ludicrous.
Most states have no such laws banning the use of Tasers and others have restrictions such as the need to have a firearms license in order to carry a Taser. Yet there are still a few states that prohibit the use of any stun device, like New York, New Jersey, Hawaii, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Again, in these it is possible to relatively easily secure a license to carry a firearm but not a stun device. Just to clarify a firearm discharges a bullet that is intended to leave a gaping hole in someone that could very easily kill or at the very least injure the person whereas a stun device subdues the same person without leaving the person dead or so much as injured in almost all cases.
Tasers, like any stun device, does not work on the principle of pain but by disrupting an attacker’s normal neurological pathways by delivering a high voltage, low amperage shock. They are so effective because an attacker cannot ‘attack through the pain’ as may be the case with a defensive spray like mace. Yet as effective as these Taser devices are they do not leave any lasting effects after the first few minutes. They simply allow the user a way to effectively defend themselves without having to kill another human being.
So kudos to the state legislators in Michigan and here is to hoping that they realize how absurd the current laws are regarding Tasers and that this bill allowing its citizens to defend themselves with a Taser becomes law.

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.

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.

Should You Buy a Taser?

I am in the business of non-lethal self-defense and it has always been and will always remain a passion of mine. The world can be a scary place and there are bad people out there that won’t think twice about hurting you or your loved ones. Because of this I believe that every law-abiding citizen has the right, if not the obligation to themselves and their loved ones, to carry with them at all times a tool of non-lethal self-defense.

In regards to non-lethal self-defense there are many options available to people today and many of these options are completely legal while others have been deemed illegal by the backwards thinking legislators in some counties, cities and states. One of the most effective, and as a result, dangerous weapons of self-defense that has been deemed illegal in some areas is a Taser. Taser devices are not considered firearms by the United States government and as such they can be legally carried, concealed or otherwise, without a permit in 43 states. They are prohibited for use by unauthorized personnel (citizens basically) in the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin, as well as certain cities and counties. It should be noted that one can purchase a shotgun in most of these states but a non-lethal, much more humane alternative like a Taser is straight out of the question apparently. Taser, much like Kool-Aid and Jell-O, is a brand name, these devices are manufactured by a company called Taser International based in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Tasers, in my opinion, are by far the most effective of all the options one has when purchasing a weapon of non-lethal self-defense. Like stun guns, Tasers use a strong electrical current to disrupt the neuromuscular functions of an attacker but unlike stun devices Tasers use a projectile mechanism. This projectile provides its user with a greater range than traditional stun devices which rely on direct contact with an attacker to be effective.

Although I have a real problem understanding why Tasers should be illegal in areas where a handgun is legal I will say that I understand why there should be some restrictions in place. Tasers are effective and they wouldn’t be as effective if some inherent level of danger was not present with these devices. The decision to purchase and carry a Taser should never be taken lightly and very thorough thought should be given before deciding to buy a Taser.

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.

For The Love Of All That Is Holy Please Use Careful Consideration When Deciding To Buy A Taser

Taser devices are extremely effective. Some studies have even shown that the TASER C2 has a higher instant incapacitation rate than a 9mm hand gun. That’s pretty effective. If an attacker is hit with a taser than they are going to stop attacking and start doing a whole lot of nothing. And one of the great things is that the attacker will, much more often than not, get to walk away (to jail) unharmed. Which for me personally beats sending another human off to a morgue. Whether it be in self defense or not.




That sounds great, doesn’t it? An effective yet non-lethal means of self defense to help protect the good, law-abiding citizens of the world. Unfortunately it isn’t that easy. Yes, tasers are non-lethal but at the end of the day we are talking about a gun that shoots out a projectile. The projectile being barbs (attached to wires) that stick into the attackers skin or clothing and then delivers a high voltage, low amperage current that causes a neuromuscular disruption. In other words it makes the attacker stop attacking and start convulsing uncontrollably until the current of electricity has stopped. To me that sounds like something not to be purchased on a whim and certainly not a device to be misused or taken lightly in any way, shape or form.



Please don’t get me wrong. I love tasers. If every firearm on the planet were to be magically and instantly replaced with a taser I think we would wake up tomorrow in a much safer world. I love what they can do if used as intended and that is protect good people from bad people and not have to worry about killing or seriously injuring that bad person in the process. I would just rest easier knowing the people that choose to buy a taser are doing it for the right reason and have serious respect and consideration for such a weapon.
