The Benefits of Tasers
January 7, 2010 – 12:34 pm
Having a gun in your home can be risky. What if you become so frightened that you pull the trigger on a loved one? Accidents do happen, and if you have children, you don’t want to risk them getting their hands on the gun either. Although guns might make you feel safe, they can become more of a liability. Tasers are alternatives to guns that you can use to stun an intruder for just enough time for you to get away.
Benefits of Tasers
First and foremost tasers are not anything like guns. Instead of shooting out deadly bullets, they shock a person just enough to stun them. When an assailant is coming after you, it’s important to have those few seconds to get away and contact 911.
Second, tasers will enable you to subdue an intruder without having to kill them. How would you feel if you shot a person to death? Although it’s your number one priority to protect yourself and your family no matter what, something like this would definitely weigh on your conscious regardless if the killing was due to self-defense.
Third, tasers are handheld and just as compact as guns. So if you’re comfortable defending yourself with a gun, using a taser will be an easier transition than you think.
Last but not least is the simple fact that you won’t need a gun in your home. Although guns can be effective methods for self-defense, there are cases where horrific accidents have happened at home.
Risks of Tasers
Along with benefits, there are some risks or downfalls to keeping a taser in your home. Although they’re not meant to kill, some studies have shown the electric shock to be powerful enough to kill some individuals. If you decide to keep a taser in your home, you will still want to use precaution and keep it away from your children.
Also, using a taser is different than a gun, because you will have to be close to the intruder in order to stun them effectively.
Whether you use a gun or a taser to protect your family, there are risks and benefits for both. However, if you at least keep a taser and pepper spray in an accessible area of your home, you will have a chance at escaping your home if an intruder becomes violent.
