Now that Obama has won the race to the Whitehouse, will we lose our right to bear firearms and defend ourselves? Is the new president going to take away all handguns? If you've been watching the news, you'll know that gun sales have dramatically increased since Obama won the primary election a few months back.
Obama does claim that he is a supporter of the 2nd Amendment, the right to bear arms. However, his voting record indicates that he is completely against it. In 2003, Barack Obama voted for a senate bill to ban hundreds of sport rifles and shotguns used for hunting and sports. In 2004, Obama shocked many people after he voted to allow the prosecution of a person using a firearm for self defense in their own house. Those are just 2 examples, as I'm not writing just about our new President.
With Obama's history of voting against gun owner's rights, it is a real possibility that we will lose right to own and possess handguns. He has been known to say that he is looking for supreme court justices that will interpret the constitution with a modern view. So how will we handle it when someone breaks into our home and attacks our family? Will you be more at risk of an attack if the perpetrator knows you wont have a handgun? Every new law created with good intention, is not without it's unintended and negative effect.
A viable alternative may lie in a simple but sophisticated non-lethal self-defense weapon. Legal to carry in 45 states, the Taser, has the stopping power of a small caliber handgun, with the advantage of having total muscular control of the bad guy being Tasered. The effects are temporary, and generally regarded as safe for use by private citizens, and security professionals alike. Carried by law enforcement personnel all over the world, the Taser has proven to be affordable, reliable, dependable, and highly effective.
Tasers don't require a license to use or carry, however each person has to pass a felony background check is to activate them. Pre-registered anti-felon ID confetti tags are dispersed when the Taser is fired, helping police to quickly identify the owner. Also, every Taser has a lifetime replacement guarantee if it is lost while defending yourself. You can purchase several different models, ranging from about $250 to $1000.
So for preparation in uncertain times, I purchased a Taser C2 from SmartLifeStore.com. They are selling a Taser Super Value Pack that comes with free reloads, holster and free shipping. They've got a nice page on their site that explains the differences in the various models that helped me choose the right Taser.
