12 Tazer Rules you Ignore at your Peril

1) A taser is a potentially lethal device. It commands the same care and respect as any other self defense product. Always store your taser in a secure location, locked away from children. Insure that your taser is never stored in the "ready" mode. If you decide to carry your taser with your personal effects, ensure it is secured so your children will never find it. Confirm that the state and local laws allow you to carry a taser before you take it outside
2) Never point your taser at a target if you do not intend to fire. A taser is a not a toy. You can truly hurt someone with it. If you fire your taser at an unintended target, even accidentally, you can be subject to a number of legal penalties
3) Familiarize yourself with the maximum range of your taser. Fifteen feet is the maximum range of consumer taser units. In order to get an accurate feel for 15 feet mark it out with a tape measure. The ideal distance from your target is 7-10 feet. If you fire at a closer range, the probes of the unit may not have adequate distance to lodge in a proper position.
4) Never fire your taser near gasoline or propane or anything else that can either ignite or explode. Maybe it's a little over-stated, but imagine lightning striking a fuel truck,
5) Your taser is will make you target lose their motor control. Firing a taser at someone who is in the water is particularly deadly. They'll drown. Use your judgment. Use a taser only when you're in immediate danger. There could be severe legal repercussions if used unnecessarily.
6) Your fingers and hands do not belong anywhere near the business end of your taser and don't point it at yourself.
7) Don't ignore a low battery signal. Replace them immediately. Maintain your taser in firing condition.
8) The ideal distance from your target is 7-10 feet. Never fire your taser at anyone closer than 3 feet away, as the probes may not lodge in a proper position.
9) Hold the taser with the top line parallel to the ground. Never hold sideways or at an angle, as the probes may not deploy properly.
10) Familiarize yourself with handling aiming your taser in a safe location. You might want to buy an extra cartridge to practice discharging your taser. Never point your taser at an object you don't intend to fire on.
11) If you ever need to use your taser on a person, aim for the center of the chest. It is the largest area of the body and you're less likely to miss.
12) Once you have fired your taser and your target is on the ground, put the taser down and go. Tasers deploy small confetti type paper discs with identification information and the police will be able to trace which weapon was fired. A taser is replaceable, literally. If you fire your taser in self defense and leave and lose your weapon, the company will replace it free of charge with the right back up information. You, on the other hand are probably not so easily replaced
