The Best Personal Protection Device Available

Taser® International was born when the inventor and the Smith brothers, Rick and Tom, joined forces in the late 1960s. TASER technology was developed by a research scientist at NASA. His goal was to provide non-lethal protection for individuals not interested in possessing a firearm for personal protection. The decision by the Smiths was fueled by the shooting death of two high school friends who were killed.

Let’s take a look at two different types of electronic control devices, ECD.

TASERS®, provide long-distance protection and are not considered a firearm and do not require a permit to possess. Using a replaceable TASER® cartridge fired by a compressed type of inert gas (nitrogen), a TASER fires a pair of barbed projectiles toward the attacker. The projectiles are attached to highly conductive, insulated wires coming from the hand-held device. The wires provide a 30 second 50,000 volt shock to the attacker at a distance up to 15 feet.

TASERS® are capable of delivering stopping power through up to two inches of cumulative clothing. TASERS® can also be used in close combat situations by providing drive stuns to assailants. Even after the projectiles have been fired, the TASER® C2 can be used at close quarters. It can also deliver a debilitating jolt without having the projectile cartridge installed. The backup capability seriously elevates the usefulness and diversity of the device. That means that with a single weapon, you have the advantage of both a direct contact stun gun and a distance conscious TASER&reg.

TASER® International has invented a product that combines the advantage of keeping potential attackers at a distance and provides close quarters defense. The TASER® C2, as in regular TASERs, fires its darts up to 15 feet, providing anyone with the ability to protect oneself and family members from danger.

Second, let’s look at stun guns. These non-lethal weapons do not fire any sort of projectile. While they come in a variety of shapes and sizes the common factor they have with each other is the fact that they all must make contact with the assailant to be effective. This means the potential of harm to the victim is much greater than if you were firing a TASER&reg.

Stun guns are a very effective alternative to their more expensive TASER® counterpart. Stun guns produce an effective shock reducing the attacker ability to stand or direct his muscles. The jolt of a 50,000 volt surge through his body interrupts the attacker's ability to control his muscles. This gives you time to react, call for help, or run away to a safe place.

The advantage of these self defense options provides the time needed to defuse or escape a dangerous situation. Additionally, the TASER® C2 comes in a variety of colors, is designed not to resemble a self defense tool, the Lithium Power Magazine is good for at least 50 applications. The TASER® C2 requires a felony background check for activation and comes with everything needed to start using it immediately for protection. The TASER® C2 also has a lifetime replacement guarantee. Should you ever have to use it to protect yourself or a loved one, TASER® International will replace the unit free of charge with a copy of a police report of the incident. The TASER® C2 has become the choice of thousands for personal protection.

Defense Spray, Cheap Insurance into Your Personal Safety

As career law enforcement, I commonly hear victims ask why they were attacked and that it had never happened to them before.  Remember, most victims were never victimized until they day they became a victim.  Defense spray is a cheap non-lethal force alternative and insurance policy into your personal health.  Don’t wait; buy a personal defense alternative today, your life may depend on it.

People are turning to defense spray as non-lethal force alternatives for personal protection.  Defense spray is composed from the extract of real peppers. Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) is the chief chemical compound used in it. OC is available in three concentrations: 1%, 5%, and 10%, and 18%. In addition, the spray comes in three patterns, (Stream, Fog, and Gel).  Determining what application you need depends on your specific needs.

Application Styles

Stream application style has the longest effective range of all of them. Although it might be less effective due to the target specific necessity, it has a terrific range of 15-20 feet.  The stream style gives the potential victim the ability to deploy the defense spray from a distance which in turn keeps the attacker away from hands on scenario.

Fog application styles have finer droplets and are quite effective. These are found to be more effective than stream styles due to their ability to cover a wider target when deployed. The range of the fog application is reduced to 10 to 15 feet depending on the weather conditions; however a word of caution applies here, you run the risk of self contamination due to the fog pattern being a mist.

Foam application styles available as well. Foam application is designed for close quarter contact and sticks to the attacker like a foam. Foam applications are the most effective of the three sprays due to their ability to stick to the assailant. Winds have no impact on them.

How Defense Spray’s Work

Tasers and defense sprays have become popular items for personal protection against an attacker. The chemical present in the sprays is inflammatory. When it comes in contact with eyes, throat, nose, and lung, it hits the mucous membranes present in them and leads to instant capillary dilation. This makes the entire affected areas swell. The stronger concentration may even lead to temporary blindness or restriction of breathing for up to 45 minutes. This is enough to weaken your assailant and give the victim plenty of time to seek help.

The best way to use a pepper spray is to aim at the attacker's face. Your attacker will become incapacitated for sufficient time so you can get help. Besides this, defense sprays are considered non-lethal force alternatives and only have temporary effects on your assailant.

Defense sprays do not require a permit to carry as a personal defense alternative; however, there are some federal, state, and local restrictions on their use.  If you are seeking to purchase defense spray as a personal defense alternative and you live in New York, Michigan, Massachusetts or Wisconsin, check with your local law enforcement before purchasing a defense spray.
