Have you ever heard of Taser stun guns? That was what my father asked me when I told him I needed some personal protection in my new job as a security guard.

Armed with a bat and a flashlight that had come from my employing agency, I felt I was still in grave danger when I patrolled the company vicinity during nighttime.

Of course, I did know of Taser stun guns but I never thought I would get to use one. My dad told me to drop by the house so he could show his Taser C2 with laser sight model.

He showed me how the Taser C2 dispatched two arrows at a maximum distance of 15 feet. He showed how it can work as a stun gun at close range. The electrical energy it discharges would surely bring down an assailant since the shock would affect the motor and sensory functions of the nervous system.

Dad said I had other options of Taser stun guns, like the Taser M26C. Police officers usually use the Advanced Taser M26, its parent model. Still, the technology used by the civilian counterpart is just as potent.

The other option is the Taser X26C. Aside from its light weight, it has a unique feature that allows the user to view a digital indicator of battery life, energy used, warranty information, and countdown times once activated.

All these models of Taser stun guns have serialized cartridges that discharge confetti when deployed. Authorities can then track down the owners through Taser International in case of probable misuse.

All these information, I relayed to my supervisor and persuaded my company to furnish me with any of these protective devices because of the nature of my work. With the Taser C2 with laser sight that they gave me, I had set aside the heavy bat and flashlight when I do my rounds.
