One Stop Security

Personal safety is a priority for every person. As such, it is important to take measures to ensure that you have the means to protect yourself. For many people, this necessitates employing the use of some sort of self-defense weapon.

One of the best ways to stay safe and stop and attack from a distance is with a stun gun. Stun guns are valuable because they are small and easy to carry and do not cause any long term damage. The guns work by depleting blood sugar and interrupting neurological impulses, temporarily incapacitating the assailant.

During the summer months in Seattle there was a peculiar assailant tormenting pedestrians on a trail in Ballard. Over a two week span several bikers and walkers here impaled with 4-inch long darts. The attacker apparently was using a blowgun to hit unsuspecting people, seemingly at random.

After conducting a short investigation, Seattle police were unable to make any arrests in the case. Although the guns are legal, it is obviously against the law to use them in this manner. Most states also have restrictions on using blowguns for hunting as well.

I have always grown up believing that each person has the right to life and that through that right, they also have the right to protect their life. I also have always believed that when a person takes another’s life, they then lose their own right to life. I have been surprised to find out through the years that many people don’t agree with me. Some people argue the exact opposite; that people who kill other people’s life with the premeditated intent of doing so still deserve to live simply because they are considered human. Maybe I am too harsh, but I cannot see how a person who could do something as horrific as that could be put on the same level as the ordinary, law-abiding citizen who could never do such a thing. I am a firm believer that people need to take responsibility for themselves and be willing to protect themselves when in a time of need. We will never be able to prevent evil people from trying to hurt others, but we can help ordinary people learn how best to protect themself. It may not always be enough, but if it can help a few people than it is more than worth it.
