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.

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
