I've seen the usage of tasers on the news and court tv shows. Supposively it is safe but definitely does immobilalize a person from endangering theirself or another person.
 
 How do you feel about having a taser in the home if it were to be legalized verses haivng a gun for protection?
 
 Is one better than the other in your mind?
 
Do we need either one?

Interesting question!  My first thought was I'd rather have a taser because I don't think I could ever shoot a gun at someone for fear of killing them. However, with a gun you don't have to get very close to the person, so there is definitely an advantage there.  Also, if the intruder knew you had a gun, he might stop in fear of being shot, whereas with a taser, he would stand a better chance of running away unharmed. 
 
Oh, new thought just came to me.  If all I had was a taser and he had a gun, it would not be a good position to be in, would it?

How do you feel about having a taser in the home if it were to be legalized verses haivng a gun for protection? I don't know enough about tasers but was raised around guns... being a Pennsylvania girl this is gun country... almost everyone hunts.. would not hesitate to use a gun for protection

Is one better than the other in your mind? a gun gives you distance from your attacker but you take the chance of killing them.... a tases you need to be near you attacker

Do we need either one? I don't know the answer but I feel safer with a gun.... we live in the city but the area is very wooded

I don't like either one. No guns in my home, no tasers in my home.

Good answers. I hate the idea of either one. A taser has a range so far of up to 300 ft plus now but you need to be able to aim right.  I don't know if I could shoot someone. I suppose if they were trying to hurt me or someone I loved I could do it but I would have to be in that situation to know what I would do.

That is an interesting subject.I think a taser would be a lot more effective than pepper spray(which I have).
Btw, there are some ppl(crooks)who try to sue the police dept.for using a taser on them while resisting arrest.They call it excessive force.

I've never shot a gun in my life but I believe I could use a taser.
