The one I got is like angelisi its a working flashlight it doesn't look like a taser. You do have to be close to tase them. I lost one of my austrlorps two days ago. To night one of my barred rocks is missing. I looked everywhere for feathers etc. No sign of her. With my australorpe at least there were feathers. Pam

I'm so sorry about your birds! Any idea what the culprit might be?

Woohoo gidget,

What kind of chickens is she sitting on? I don't have silkie's but I hear they make great mommies

Pam, Sorry to hear that you have birds missing. Have you found any of them? I've had my Polish just "hunker down" instead of going back to the coop before. It took a long time looking for her, found her on a trailer wheel well cover.

Welcome Gidget!! SEE...I knew we had LURKERS!! lol...

As far as pepper spray goes, don't forget that often Wasp & Hornet spray is recommended because it shoots such a far distance.

Morning all, just sitting in my chair eating 3 of my tiny eggs with cheese. Delicious. Even Aimee loves them. AND I'm drinking my coffee in my new cowboy boot mug. Huh? I told Aimee to bring me a T-shirt back from vacation in Dallas. Cute 6" tall boot with a horse head . Red and Black. I like it. It may become my favorite mug. ha
I can't find anyone to build my run without an arm and a leg, so I'm thinking about doing one of the movable temporary types that you tack down with 10" nails. Have you seen them. A guy sells them with 7 posts for about $200 . But they are easy to build. Thinking, thinking.

Welcome, come hang out, learn and put your 2 cents worth in if you want to.

You want a tazer with darts.
I also have the flashlight tazer. It requires contact but the amazing cracking sound it makes...is nuff to make any attacker think again from a distance too.

The darted tazers fire one or two darts with wires that then charge the darts. Some places consider them a firearm if darts are fired from the tazers "gun" so double check!

Police supply store carries them as well as places online. I will forward the place I got mine. You order online. I've met the owners, great people.

I wanted the darted tazers for the fact that I wanted distance between me and the bad guy. I changed my mind after training with both darted and handheld.
Darted are more dangerous. You can get the same POWER from both but darted has wires and one needs distance to fire at bad guy or those wires could very well take you down too.
Handhelds require contact but in all honesty if attacked its usually a lil late to gauge distance and aim darts properly, not to mention people panic and aim/thought goes out the window. With the right the hand held you are grounded so you won't be zapped even if zapping bad guy touches you.
With wired tazers you are grounded to the gun but not to the wires so there's a slight higher risk of danger to yourself if it doesn't go as planned.

Remember, tazers can kill. Hit a man in the face instead of center mass, aiming wrong due to fear. Could kill him...so treat it like a firearm. Use only when life is in danger.
I want to know that I harmed someone who was really going to get me, not that I hurt someone that made me nervous but meant no harm. If they're close nuff to be zapped by a handheld they're in my space, I feel justified after the fact. If one panics and shoots darts from 25ft at a "threat" that turns out not to be a threat...legal implications can follow. Obviously violent attackers one wouldn't worry as much about "after math" but not all bad guys look like bad guys..So use caution!

I'll send you the Site shortly where you can get both. They're like guns...to each their own in what makes them feel safe.

Taser people, please check in! I remember a discussion a couple months ago & some of you have tasers. Do you have the type that you do NOT have to touch the assailant w/ the prongs in order to taze them? I'm looking into getting one. Can't have firearms where I work, but tasers are permitted. Thanks for any input. I don't see the use of getting one if you have to touch the prongs to the assailant as I dont' intend to get within grabbing distance of anybody out to get me.

The reason being there are times when I am the only person working in a 3 story building in a not-so-good part of town. that's why I'm asking. Otherwise, I'll change my work schedule & just go in extra early a couple mornings during the week instead of staying late.

Actually I was thinking about the pitt bulls that roam the road. They attack people and would love my chickens if I free ranged. Is a tazer feasible. I can't have a gun because of AJ's mental illness.
