Something different: A Consumer TASER

Register to hide this ad
You can buy...I think a couple,I think the C2 for sure.

I want to get one,I have OC spray but something else handy for the tool kit.

Before anyone asks there are times I could see I have no reason to shoot someone but I do have a need to tune them up-such things are what things like OC and a taser are made for.

Your right, I didn't see they had a consumer C2 version already. Might be easier to deploy with the pistol grip on the Pulse.

Things have been around for awhile,thinking about it I'm almost certain I've seen the M26C for sale for civilian use.

I like the C2 more since it's less "gun like" so the possibility of messing up which is which goes down.

Illegal for private ownership in NJ, how unusual.

Anybody have a IWB for my sharp stick?

Lot of the big cities are that way,you need a *******' permit to buy OC spray in DC! :mad: I'm talking a police permit if I read the rules right,what a damn joke.

I don't doubt you'd be hauled before the law as worst then a baby eating monster in places like that for a sharp stick....
 
Ok but how much range time can I do with it :)

Are hollow point taser probes better than solid, oh the discussion this may lead to :)

Seriously it is pretty cool. I agree there are times when regular folks need an non deadly force option. In the my younger days hands and feet were the first option.

And don't even get us started on proper Taser lubricants.

And no mention of best caliber probe, break in rounds needed, and stove pipes or failure to feed. Sorry just can't resist, it seems this is standard for most threads, thanks for the set up.

I do think this are cool.

I can honestly say I've only ever been in one fight at six years old...I used a laundry cart to pin the other kid to the wall and nearly suffocated him! :D I almost always use an object to do my work so I guess it's good I've never had to fight again as I'd probably hurt someone.

I don't play fair I play to win which is why I have things like a fighting knife and OC on me besides a gun.
 
I can say that, having several unsuccessful taser deployments during arrests, I don't fully trust tasers. I've got about a 75% rate with these. I do, however, have a much better success rate with pepper spray. I carry a can occasionally when I jog.

Also, I really like the lasting effect of pepper spray, even when the target has been "decontaminated". Still burns for most of an hour. With a taser, when the switch is turned off, the "ride" is over. I think that gives pepper spray a better deterrent factor if someone encounters another person wielding it again. Maybe they will remember the burn. There are those people in society (10%?) that aren't affected by pepper spray, so those aren't 100% either. I guess it comes to carrying what you are comfortable and proficient with and hope you don't get one of the people that aren't affected by less-lethal.
 
I'm not making a judgment on this either way, but the civilian Taser models have always come equipped with serialized confetti that blows out when you deploy them, allowing identification of at least the original purchaser . . .
 
There has been a civilian model Taser before. The last one I reviewed shot out small paper discs when deployed. The discs contained information that let police know who the purchaser was. If I wanted a less that lethal product it would be either Sabre Green horseradish spray ( which I gave to my wife ), or a pepper blaster. The product with both is shelf life. The pepper blaster is only 4 years and costs $ 40. A taser which works for only 30 seconds is ridiculous. Maybe you can't get out of the area in that time, and I would need enough time to cuff the offender.

In my state, the use of a Taser can be equivalent to deadly force, you could be shot if you pulled it on the wrong guy. (pull one a LEO and watch ;) )

BTW - ....'tuning someone up....' will likely get you charged criminally in places. Legitimate self defense is one thing, but the desire to 'tune-up' another human being could be criminal....it is far easier to walk away....
 
FWIW, the current generation of body armors have the option of Thors Shield as an add on, this offers claimed protection against Tasers. Of course it also stops bullets too.
 
This is just a thought. I don't know that it's ever been an issue or how likely it is that it would ever be one.
After nearly EVERY police shooting I've heard about in the recent past I've heard the contention that " there must have been something else" the officer could have used. Some type of "less than lethal tool", pepper spray, rubber bullets, taser, etc.
I don't believe it's a stretch to assume that an armed citizen, using deadly force (even justifiably), when having "less than lethal" tools in their possession, might be subjected to the same assertions.
Should I need to use deadly force to protect myself I don't want the water muddied more than necessary. I won't pick a fight with you, I don't want to engage in a physical altercation with you, if you attack me physically I'll fear that you may gain access to my gun and therefore be in fear for my life.
I don't do police work any longer and I don't believe that it is reasonable to expect that I'll carry "less than lethal" tools, on my person, to protect myself from severe bodily injury or death.

I have yet to actually see, examine or shoot an FN Reflex. Has anyone here had the opportunity to do so?
