This allows you to protect yourself without having to shoot someone which can land you in front of a judge and having someone decide if you used excessive force defending yourself. Unfortunately, we live in a time where protecting yourself from an attacker can still land you in jail and a possibility of being charged with a major crime.
You get to avoid that entire scenario using a strong non-lethal option such as a taser gun which allows you to shoot up to 15 feet away. Another scenario you get to avoid is getting hands-on with an attacker. Just pulling your taser out while walking to your car at night is going to make you feel much better.
The list could go on and on but I think you get the idea. I hope this article on what does a taser feel like answered your question.
According to Queensland Police, the four most common effects one feels when they're being tasered is: dazed for a few seconds, unsteady on their feet, a temporary tingling sensation, stressed caused by pain. If you are tasered in probe mode, your muscles will feel like they are frozen. You might fall down. While it is very painful at the time, as soon as the taser turns off, the pain and incapacitation stop. One Rockhampton man was tasered by police in a very "sensitive area" on Tuesday night when he was trying to avoid arrest in Kawana.
A QPS spokesman said police tried to apprehend the man, believed to be in his 30s, in relation to property offences but a taser was deployed when he resisted arrest. Reports indicate the man received a taser blast to a 'sensitive area' of the body and there was some difficulty detaching the device, he was then transported to Rockhampton Hospital under police supervision. On July 24, , when he was 21, he was pulled over for driving without a seatbelt in Coronado, California.
He had been stopped earlier that day for speeding and was upset as he stepped from his car. Officer Brian MacPherson testified he told Bryan to stay seated and that he defied his orders when he took a step toward him, which Bryan denied. MacPherson pulled the trigger of his Taser. One of the barbs struck so deep Bryan needed surgery to remove it, court records show.
An ampere, or amp, is the unit used to measure current. A small current -- microamps —- applied directly to the heart can cause a fatal rhythm called ventricular fibrillation. Humans have protective mechanisms: The skin, which provides high resistance to electricity, and soft tissue, which surrounds muscles and organs like the heart, also reduce the current.
For example, a current applied to the arm will be reduced to. TASERs have a 2 milliamp current and it takes at least 1, milliamps -- 1 amp -- to injure muscles, nerves and the heart. Higher amps, starting at 10, milliamps or 10 amps, cause the heart to stop and produce severe burns, according to the U. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. TASERs cause muscle contractions, but do not appear to trigger the release of the muscle enzyme associated with muscle cell damage -- creatine kinase.
If levels of that enzyme are high, it causes a condition called rhabdomyolysis , which can lead to kidney failure.
Current research has shown that the muscle contractions induced by the TASER cause a small increase in CK, but do not appear to pose a direct risk for rhabdomylosis, according to a review of research by Forensic Science International.
