In September of 2007, a University of Florida student was being subdued by police officers and yelled the now immortal phrase -- don't tase me bro. In that instant, tasers entered the mainstream. These self-defense devices have been around for a long time, but now it seemed as if the public were well aware of their potency.
We all remember the catchphrase "don't tase me bro", as the words correctly describe the effectiveness of the weapon. You can use the self-defense items to adequately protect yourself and your family. Working from several feet away, the taser prevents somebody from coming into close contact with you by rendering them incapacitated, enabling you to get away safely.
Tasers are nonlethal, immobilizing somebody for 30 seconds. Using compressed nitrogen, and two electrically charged probes, a very high voltage disrupts the recipient's central nervous system, disabling them. These items are nonlethal, and cause no permanent injury.
The phrase "don't tase me bro" became a pop culture icon in 2007. It is included in the New Oxford American dictionary and was the most memorable quote in the 2007 Yale Book of Quotations. The pop groups TiVo and The Clash both made songs capitalizing on this phrase. As lighthearted as this may be, seriously tasers can save a person's life during an attack by an assailant.
Tasers are not similar to a stun gun, even though in some cases a stun gun is added to taser models as a backup. The stun gun will apply only to a localized area, whereas the taser will overpower the whole body. Tasers can be fired from up to 15 feet away and are effective through numerous layers of clothing, regardless where it hits on the body.
Featuring neuromuscular incapacitation technology, the latest taser devices can incapacitate a person faster than a 9 mm handgun. Don't forget, though, that this item does not cause serious harm to a person, whereas a bullet, obviously would. The taser is a very effective self-defense device.
No criminal wants to experience the effects, so, silently, they are probably all saying don't taste me bro to themselves, whilst running away! This somewhat comical phrase speaks volumes to the success that these devices have in scaring away would-be attackers. The chances are you will not have to use this device, just to show the other person that you have it.
The Florida student was being confronted by police, when he yelled the phrase don't tase me bro. The items used by law enforcement are more powerful and can be used from a distance further away, than the technology available for civilian use. However, the civilian items are very efficient, and will be sufficient to protect you.
