TASER energy weapons work by firing two pronged darts which are propelled by compressed nitrogen. The darts are tethered to insulated copper wire which conduct the electricity from the TASER energy weapon into the attacker’s body. When both darts hit, if the electrical circuit is completed and maintained, it may cause the attackers muscles to contract and they may lose voluntary muscle control.

TASER Self Defense energy weapons are not classified as a firearm, and are therefore subject to fewer restrictions. This provides you with the ability to protect yourself and your loved ones, when a firearm may not be an option.
