Self Defense Made Simple With a Tazer

For many centuries, weapons for self defense were very likely to kill someone or at least inflict horrifying wounds. Life threatening situations often ended with someone dead. But these days there are means of defense that won’t take human life and allow the victim to make their escape. The Tazer is the best of these less than lethal weapons.

This type of stun gun is revolutionary as it shoots darts from compressed nitrogen cartridges. The darts are attached to insulated wires and will pierce the skin through up to an inch of clothing. Then, at least 50,000 volts of electricity will shock the individual, shocking their nervous system, rapidly contracting their muscles, and robbing them of any voluntary movement.

The great thing about a Tazer is that it will shoot the darts and shock someone from fifteen feet away, but you don’t have to shoot the darts. This weapon comes with another stunning option. It can be used more like a normal stun gun, which means that the electrodes on the tip of the gun are jabbed into the skin in order to shock someone.

If you own a Tazer, then you should make sure that the batteries always have a charge. There couldn't be anything more terrible than to need your self defense weapon and find it non-functional. Keeping your weapon close to you is a sound idea so that it's there when you need it. A belt holster is an ideal place because again, having your weapon out of reach when you need it most is quite devastating.

If you are walking through the city and someone approaches you and threats you in some way, then there are some key places to aim your Tazer. While shooting them anywhere will do the trick, a solid shot to the torso is best. And if you choose to use it like a traditional stun gun, then you should jab it just below the rib cage or into the neck.

It is a dangerous world out there, so you should prepare yourself. While you may never be attacked, it is better to be prepared and never be attacked than to be attacked while you are unprepared.
