Non-Lethal TASER C2 vs. Lethal Self Defense Weapons

For a better understanding of the weapons we are going to discuss we will start off by discussing the differences between lethal and non-lethal weapons.

A non-lethal weapon is a weapon that will stop an attacker and not injure or kill him. Examples of a non-lethal weapons would be pepper spray, stun guns, the TASER C2.

Lethal weapons such as guns and knives are designed to cause serious physical injury to an attacker or may even cause death.

Guns are actually a poor option for personal protection for most people. Carrying a concealed gun is illegal in virtually all jurisdictions in this country without a special permit.

The whole purpose of personal protection products is to distract and disable an attacker so you can escape and get help. The use of a gun in an attack could be considered "excessive force" unless you as a victim can prove a life threatening situation. Keep in mind that 80% of all assaults in this country are committed without a weapon of any kind. If you use excessive force you could be charged with a crime and even sued by your assailant!

Due to the serious and deadly nature of shooting someone, most people tend to hesitate before shooting. In many instances that hesitation can be used against the victim. Handguns have even been taken away and used against victims when they hesitated.

The psychological effects and emotional trauma of shooting another person can be devastating. Even hardened police officers are sometimes affected, particularly if the other person is killed. Most people whose only objective is to protect themselves are not ready or able to handle the intense emotional aftermath of killing someone; and that's always a very real possibility when guns are used.

Any time a firearm is used there is the possibility that an innocent person may be injured or killed. The person discharging the firearm, justified or not, is almost always held liable for the consequences of a shooting regardless of how "accidental" it might be. No formal charges may be filed, but a civil suit can be just as damaging to a person's life.

Firearms have a legitimate, useful role in self protection; but only if a person is fully trained and completely understands the responsibility and consequences of using a gun for that purpose.

Knives share many of the same characteristics and disadvantages of firearms. Like firearms they require intensive training and carry similar legal and psychological liability.
