There are stories in the news every day about Taser guns and their use in law enforcement. There are also occasional stories about civilians and their success in defending themselves with a Taser. There have been many lives that have saved because of the Taser gun option.

Recently, a home invasion robber carjacked a truck and robbed a man before leading officers on a half-hour chase. A CHP officer used a Taser gun to stop Michael Reyes, the suspect. He was booked on suspicion of home invasion robbery, robbery, carjacking and felony evading.

Tasers have been a superior personal protection option. There are many people who are interested in carrying something such as a Taser, a stun gun, or pepper spray. The desire to be able to protect ourselves is natural one, especially given stories such as a home invasion robbery.

Taser guns are a wonderful choice for those that do not want to carry a concealed weapon. A Taser is designed to avoid any type of permanent damage to the attacker. It can also be used in a manner that keeps the attacker from getting close to the intended victim. The probes that a Taser can shoot out can reach up to 15 feet.

The home invasion robber, Michael Reyes, was able to avoid an encounter with a firearm because officers were carrying a Taser. The Taser allowed officers to arrest Mr. Reyes without resorting to lethal force. For both law enforcement and civilians alike, a Taser can help to keep a bad situation from getting worse.

Training and classes can give people who choose to carry a Taser an edge. No matter how great your personal protection weapon is, it will only function as well as the person that is using it.
