Regardless, the stun gun law has passed. Some now feel protected, but does this promote a sense of security overall?
Being a woman, I fear more now than I did before. This is not a law I could personally agree on. I do not feel safer. Stun guns are supposed to make iowans feel more secure, but we might get more than what we bargained for.
I feel the law gave the attackers more leverage. Think about it this way: what would happen in a situation where you find yourself in a struggle? You lose your device, and now the attacker has it. Your safety device is now a weapon being used against you. |

"You lose your device, and now the attacker has it. Your safety device is now a weapon being used against you."
You're right. So the answer, I guess, is to lie back and enjoy it.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
