Question about Tasers

[KahrMan]

I know nothing about tasers.  A lady that works with me was asking about them.  She wants to get a taser but does not know where to start.  She said on Amazon they run from $15 to $1500.  

Anybody have any real life experience with them or know what brands to look at?  This would be to carry in her purse.

Well I have been tazed numerous times where I worked if you wanted to carry you had to know what it was like  Good policy. Except I had rank. and people enjoyed shooting me way to much lol We where issued a axon x2 it worked on a battery and compressed nitrogen it delivered 50.000 watts    2.  shot probes 180 foot per second  it was a two shot  had a warning arc you can hear that stoped a lot of aggression.  it was painful it had a safety and a laser  a good American made brand made in AZ Scottsdale  note does not work well in rain can be a issue  and a person padded up   probe has to make contact axon makes tazers  for the general public good company to deal with not cheap but when it’s your life it’s a bargain did I mention it’s painful most people don’t realize how effective it is

this will still work when it’s raining and if the baddie is wearing a jacket.  I don’t personally see much advantage to tasers for “civilian” use.

Hit your buddy about the time he orders at the drive-through.

Well yeah, obviously.  I meant for defensive use though.

That would be after you hit your buddy.

My son gave me a bulldog flashlight. He’s got a multifunction switch. That will turn it into a taser. The dogs go nuts when I hit it.

We need one of the gun show taser guys to chime in. They sound pretty scary.
