Taser Guns: Protection for the Fashion Conscious

Fashion rules in today’s world. The mere thought of carrying a handgun presents a fashion dilemma for many a woman. Go ahead – try to fit a firearm into one of today’s purses which would give a pack of cigarettes claustrophobia. Fortunately, for the safety conscious woman who also wants to dance the night away, there are a surprising number of options in the realm of personal protection.

While using your head to avoid potentially dangerous situations is crucial, there may well come a time when you will need to defend yourself from a predator. Taser guns are a dandy choice for non-lethal self-defense. Firearms can weigh quite a bit even when unloaded. On the other hand, Taser guns can weigh less than 7 ounces and pack a mighty 50,000 volt punch. A unit only 6 inches long is capable of delivering enough voltage to incapacitate even a determined attacker. When fired at the advancing bad guy, the two wires can reach up to 15 feet.

Many women worry that they might miss the “target” when they are caught up in the grip of fear. On many models there is a laser sight to help the user protect herself effectively. Point the weapon toward the bad guy and steady the laser before pulling the trigger.

If the wires miss, once the attacker comes within range, simply place the Taser gun in contact with the attacker and pull the trigger to deliver the same incapacitating charge.

In any case, a lightweight Taser gun can be the difference between life and death for women who shy away from the size, weight and sound of traditional firearms.
