My wife does not carry and has no desire to carry. My 20 y/o step-daughter recently moved out of the house and has been staying with her boyfriend and his family. My wife found out today that she has a had a couple of unsettling encounters with her boyfriend's uncle. Without going into a long story about the details, my wife started asking me questions about tasers and I told her that I know nothing about them. She's now talking about getting one for herself and one for her daughter.
I told her that pepper spray would be easier to carry and can be used from a distance. I assume that most tasers require contact unless you are using one that shoots barbs of some sort and of course this makes it much easier for the intended target to grab it and use it against the person. Most of the tasers I've seen are relatively large so I assume most women would carry them in their purse and not on their person, but my wife is thinking more about her daughter just having a tazer to keep in her room when she is home.
What do you guys know about tasers? Any recommended brands or models? Better than nothing or just stick to pepper spray?
