SMART ADVICE

Self-Defense

The whole idea of self defense is to have and not need. You want to be prepared but you don’t want to have to defend yourself if at all possible. It almost sounds like a contradiction.

Martial arts, firearms, knife, pepper spray or taser devices are a last resort type of response. Our first response should be to avoid any problems. Practicing situational awareness is the key. By being aware, we can avoid a lot of potential problems. That is the best self-defense technique.

STUN GUN AND TASER DEVICE USE

In the class we cover when you can legally use a taser and a stun gun. Basically, you can only use a taser or stun gun for self-defense, defense of another person or for protection of property.

Situational awareness is very important. Being able to assess the situation correctly is the key. By being able to properly assess the situation, you can take the necessary steps to be prepared and to protect yourself and your loved ones. Also, you need to know how to handle the legal ramifications of protecting yourself and others.

No matter how good the device is, it does you no good if you don’t have it ready when you need it. If you are in a situation, the device should already be in your hand and ready to deploy. You don’t want to have to fumble for your device after something already happened or worse, not have your device accessible because you left it at home or in your car.

Know the limitations of the device you are using. Stun guns only cause localized pain and will not incapacitate a person. You also have to make and maintain contact with the person. The Stun gun will not work if you don’t have or lose contact with the person. Not saying that the Stun gun is not an effective tool, it is a great deterrent.

Tasers on the other hand are capable of incapacitating a person. Again, there are limitations. Two projectiles come out and are required to complete a circuit. So, you have to be accurate. Both projectiles have to be on the person to work. If you miss with one or both projectiles, it will not work at all.

Understanding the limitations of the different devices will help you pick the right one for your needs. We have a nice selection available during the class and you are able to try out all of the devices before you buy.

Please continue to practice with your device and be prepared. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

What’s the difference between a “Stun Gun” and a “Taser Gun?”

What’s the difference between a stun gun and a taser gun?

While both use electricity to incapacitate an attacker there is a major difference.

Taser devices use two projectiles to complete a circuit to incapacitate an attacker. Initially made for law enforcement, they come in several shapes and sizes. Most are shaped like a gun for ease of use.

Stun guns also use electricity but use pain compliance and require direct contact with a subject to work. We have had a lot of interest especially with people worried about animal attacks.

Taser Device

By delivering an electric shock through two projectiles, a person is incapacitated. If used properly, there is almost no chance of causing injury to the person being tased. The greatest advantage that a taser device has is that it allows you to use it from a distance. Up to 15 feet away.

The electricity completes a circuit to over stimulate the voluntary muscles in the body to cause them to “lock up.” The person is incapacitated safely and is unable to continue in their attack. They will fall to the ground for the duration of the cycle. The Pulse + device that is used in our training classes cycle for 30 seconds which will allow you and your loved ones to escape to safety.

They come in several shapes and sizes. All of the various devices will be covered in the class so you can choose the best one for you and your situation.

Stun Gun

Stun guns must make contact with the subject to work and therefore require close proximity.

Differences

Distances:
The taser devices can shoot their projectiles up to 15 feet away, whereas the stun gun must make direct contact with the subject.

Depending on your circumstances, both are great devices, pick the one right for you and your loved ones.

Size:
There are several devices both for the taser and stun guns. We will allow you to handle several of the devices and talk about the others that are available to you. Generally, the stun guns are heavier than the taser devices. The Pulse+ that we will use in the class is very small and light and very easy to carry. The stun guns are a little bulkier but could also be used as impact devices should such a need arise.

Price:
The stun guns are generally less expensive than the tasers. After handling the various devices and thinking about your situation, you can choose the appropriate device for you.
