Advanced Circuitry Makes Taser Gun Options Valuable Personal Protection

If you don’t want to carry a bulky weapon, you will be pleasantly surprised by the array of sizes and shapes engineers have come up with to make a stun gun that you can carry discreetly.

In the case of TASER guns the shaped pulse uses its voltage first to penetrate clothing barriers, then to disrupt the brain’s ability to control skeletal muscles. Even if one of the TASERs isn’t your choice, take a moment to consider the advantages of higher voltage. Although that higher voltage does not pose a threat to life, in general, the higher the charge, the quicker the penetration and the faster the takedown capability.

Safety features are critical in that they provide extra protection for the user.

• Look for an easy to use safety or OFF/ON switch that is distinctive enough to avoid confusion, even when you are under the stress of a threat.

• Look for a way to carry the weapon that is difficult to detect. The element of surprise can give you a distinct advantage. That could be related to a small size (no big lumps under clothing, easy to carry in brief case or purse) and a good disguise, like a commonly used object (flashlight or cell phone).

• Look for a way to carry the weapon that is easy for you to reach, to retrieve and to maneuver into a usable position. If you are busy fumbling with an awkwardly placed unit you are losing time when seconds can make the difference between life or death.

Weigh the choices. Check out the price points. Then go for it.
