Self Defense - Why Tasers Have Become So Popular

Author: Jack Krohn

Tasers are now one of the most effective and popular tools in fighting crime in the country. Their growth in popularity is both phenomenal and understandable. The biggest reason is that they save lives. Let's look at how they got to be so popular.

WHAT ARE THEY The advanced Taser is a powerful conducted energy weapon that is non lethal yet can incapacitate an assailant from 15 feet away. They are NOT stun guns. The advanced Taser is a stun gun on STEROIDS.

HOW DO THEY DIFFER FROM STUN GUNS There are two types of energy weapons stun guns and tasers. There are four major areas of differentiation between them:

1. Tasers are more powerful in the 18-24 watt range versus a stun gun at 7-14 watts.

2. Stun guns affect the sensory nervous system. Tasers affect the sensory and motor nervous system.

3. Stun guns require contact with the assailant. Tasers are effective from 15 feet away.

4. Tasers have more effective stopping power than a 9mm gun shot, much more effective than a stun gun

HOW DO THEY WORK Tasers use EMD(electro-muscular disruption) technology which sends a 18-26 watt electrical signal that completely overrides the central nervous system which controls muscle function. They are pulses of energy so powerful no one has ever been able to overcome their effect. The EMD effect physically debilitates a target regardless of pain tolerance or mental focus. A taser can stop the most highly trained and aggressive of combatants.

The advanced taser in police studies has a higher instant incapacitation rate than a 9mm hand gun. It shoots out two darts attached to 15 feet of wire. 50,000 volts travel over the insulated wires for an unbelievable near 100 % takedown record. The EMD power surge instantly disrupts the nervous system causing the assailant to fall to the ground in uncontrollable contractions and spasms. Yet a charge from a taser has no long lasting effects.

The advanced taser uses an automatic timing mechanism that releases an electric current in a preset timing sequence that insures the assailant cannot recover enough to remove the probes.

WHO USES TASERS Police departments, security agencies, even the Armed Forces have found tasers to be an effective crime fighting tool. Recently the Los Angeles Police Department considered purchasing 6800 tasers worth almost $7 million. Since they are not a firearm there is no registration required. However some states and cities have restrictions on their use. Consult your local police or sheriff's department for restrictions.

WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE ONE- Many people have an aversion to guns in general because of the potentially lethal effects. Tasers offer the best of both worlds-very effective stopping power and non lethal effects. A taser offers another alternative in the continuum of force between deadly force and less lethal self defense weapons. When your life is on the line an advanced taser can be your best friend.

Tasers have grown in popularity because they save lives and are such an effective non lethal self defense weapon. It hasn't fallen on deaf ears to the public that more and more police agencies are using tasers. If it is good enough for them why shouldn't you have one?

Chances are very good that you are reading this because in some way crime has touched your life or you want to be proactive and protect yourself, family, home, or business from the ravages of crime. That is the first step.

NOW the next step is for you to take action and purchase a Taser or hot shot stun gun TODAY.
