Stun Guns Info

My article today deals with products to defend yourself and loved one’s. Its been amazing to me that we have to continue monitoring state laws for changes. Gun laws are the thing that our country is focused on so we have not noticed that passive weapons are being taken away too. There are laws in place that restrict pepper spray. Who are we kidding with these laws? Does anyone really think that if a criminal wants to use pepper spray on you a law is going to make a difference?

I understand this is one of the biggest arguments for anyone that wants to keep their weapons but it never made as much sense as now. The idea behind the law is that criminals are using pepper spray and stun guns to subdue their victims. I don’t know about you but I would much rather be shocked then stabbed or shot. Also if we can defend ourselves without the emotional effects of killing someone wouldn’t that make more sense.

The state of Michigan as an example says that pepper spray can only be a 2% solution and the sprayer no larger then 35 grams. When someone is coming after me I’m not going to worry about how bad it will hurt when I spray a full solution of spray in his eyes. I just want him to stop what he is doing and do it now!

I know most of us have seen videos of criminals that are full of an illegal drug and nothing seems to slow them down. So we are suppose to use a weaker spray on them so it won’t hurt so much? I want that person on the ground screaming in pain because that was what they were about to do to me. A good OC pepper spray with a rating of 2.5 million scoville heat units will stop anyone. Habanera peppers are rated around 300,000 so you can imagine what an attacker would feel and its effects are immediate.

Another good self defense weapon is the stun gun and there are at least nine states so far that have made them illegal for use or very restricted as to who can have them. I have lived in a couple of these states and I don’t remember ever seeing this come across any ballot. Regardless of what people may think crime rates have climbed every year. Assaults, rape, and armed robbery top the list but we are supposed to give up our personal protection weapons. I hope everyone reading this takes the time to look into the laws in your state and work to turn the tide against these trends. But please take the time to contact the politicians in your area and tell them your concerns. We should as American citizens at least have the right to defend ourselves.
