While today’s city environment here in the U.S. does not cultivate this level of threat, incidents do an can occur that necessitate more than simple a P.E. self-defense and a bit of pepperspray but less than a locked and loaded .45 Magnum. My father fought in the U.S Army in Vietnam and has always been extremely strict on gun safety and the use of guns in personal defense. He has always said that whenever you use a gun–be ready to shoot to kill. I firmly believe this true yet I have a real problem with the overabundance of lethal weaponry that is all too often simply promoted as a deterrent. I am proud to see that TASER has developed a device which promotes both safety and life. My fiance does carry a TASER and I must say that it adds a great deal of comfort to know that she can protect herself and not worry about the burden of taking someone else’s life to save her own. Thank you TASER!

The overly loose interpretation of the second amendment has allowed Americans to be a danger to ourselves by relying on lethal weapons as our primary means of self defense. Self defense if of course a constitutionally guaranteed right, but does not necessitate a handgun, which could easily get into the wrong hands as is often the case unfortuantely.

It’s good to see a company that advocates non-lethal self defense and provides a responsible, safe product with which to further this aim.

We could all stand for a little less water boards and a little more surf ones, a little less steel and a little more nerf guns.
