Zap Them!
How would you like to be just like Captain James T. Kirk. 

 You are being attacked, so you Zap them with you Phaser. 

Think of it  Totally effective, non-lethal force.  No mater the size of your attacker.  If they’re on drugs or god knows what...... Zap.... Their down instantly, and can’t hurt you.

Best of all you did not kill anyone.  No second thoughts about it....

“I should have done this, or maybe if only I did that...”  Nothing to worry about, because it was non-lethal force....

If only we could use our time machines and go into the future to return with Captain Kirk’s Phaser....

But what? There is an answer! And it is available now.  It is totally effective on any human up to 15 feet away - on drugs or not.  Sane or insane… Man, woman, or child.  It will totally incapacitate any human, and do no lasting harm (In reality it only works on 95% of people, some folks are "electrically Immune" to the sock).

Understand what I am saying.  This is a non-lethal, instantly effective self-defense device, that will stop anyone.  It is totally legal in almost any state in the United States.  Here in California you can carry it concealed with no paper work or permits needed (there are some minor exceptions, like not on school grounds, airports, or courts, etc.).

So, just what is this modern day Phaser?

It is the Air Taser, made by Taser International. (http://www.airtaser.com/ ).

The Air Taser is the same basic unit used by law enforcement for years.  It has been proven very safe and effective.  

Now I don’t want to get all technical and long winded, so I’ll keep the how and why of how it works real simple.  The Air Taser emits an electrical shock to the person it is used on.  Now the electrical shock is not really how it works.  It is what that shock is designed to do.  Unlike a lot of so-called “Stun Guns” the Air Taser uses a patented TASER-Wave shock.  This shock interferes with all voluntary and involuntary muscle control.  On being hit the only thing a person can do is fall to the ground.  The subject can’t even breathe.  There is total loss of motor control.  Now to keep it non-lethal, every 7 seconds the unit allows the person to take a breath.  But before they have a chance to do anything more, bam, the unit goes right back to Zapping them.  Believe me this thing works.

Now if you’re thinking: who cares I have a Gun, Mace, Pepper Spray, A nasty dog, a Baseball Bat.   Let me tell you....  The Air Taser beats then all for a one-on-one attack.  How? Why? It’s because it’s non lethal and instantly effective.  It has the knockdown power of the biggest gun, but it is totally safe and non-lethal.

Pepper spray, and Mace, does work (I have used both), but they have a very major draw back.  There is a delay of 2 to 5 seconds from the time you spray it, to the time it takes effect.  Time for your attacker to stick a knife in you, etc....  Believe me when you’re being attacked 2 to 5 seconds is a very long time.  Also you better know which way the wind is blowing if you’re going to hit your attacker and not get the spray on your self.

Guns....  Hey they work great.  They can stop anyone.  But there is only one thing wrong with them.  It’s the fact that we are talking deadly force.  Do you really want to take the time to figure out if deadly force is justified when you’re being attacked?  Believe me if you ever use deadly force when you should not have, by the time the lawyers, and the law get though with you, your going to be wishing that you never had the gun to begin with.  I could also go into the fact that if you shoot when you shouldn’t have, you’re going to have to deal with it for the rest of your life.  If you shot the wrong person, or shot at the wrong time with the Taser, It is going to be a lot easier to deal with.  No one dead, or permanently injured.

Baseball Bat, Dog, etc....  I think you get the idea....  The Taser works, stops them instantly, and does no permanent harm...  a lot harder for some attorney to come after you.  Or, if you made a mistake, the consequences are going to be easier to deal with.

Hey, don’t like some one.... Zap, them....  Not a good Idea...  The Taser unit shoots out little markers all over the place so the authorities can trace a Taser Shot, back to the owner.  This is not a toy, or an anonymous weapon.  Use it improperly and you will get busted.

Now back to guns, etc.....  I really could talk all day on why guns are not always the best choice for self-defense.  The only real thing in a guns favor is it will instantly stop any attacker (if you don’t miss).  But guns have a lot of drawbacks too....  Most gun owners are very responsible law abiding people.  In the event of a bad guy trying to do them harm, being a good guy is a drawback.  In the time you’re taking to think in a responsible manner (Shoot, don’t shoot), the bad guy has taken your gun and used it on you.  I’m not even going to get into having a gun around, and if the wrong people find it (your kids).... etc....

Look, all I know is the Taser is the best thing to date I have found for day-to-day self-defense.  I have a gun.  I have Mace.  I have Pepper Spray.  I have a 100lb German Shepherd...  etc.  I carry a Taser for self-defense.

If you even think you need to carry anything for self-defense, do yourself a favor, and don’t even think of anything other then an Air Taser.

I don’t understand why this unit is not issued to every police officer in the United States.  Every cop has a gun (and they need them) and is also issued either Mace or Pepper Spray. I say turn the spray in and get something that really works.  An Air Taser!

In closing, there are rumors, and allegations that people have died from being shot with an Air Taser....  The company has proven to me that there are no documented deaths from the Air Taser.  My take on it is there are lots of documented deaths from guns, baseball bats, dogs.... etc....  There are also documented deaths from taking Aspirin, eating peanuts, drowning in a toilet (yes, I said toilet....), So, I have no worries about using the Air Taser.  Someone threatens or attacks me....... It’s Zap time.
