Why does she want one? Does she realize a TASER is a one-shot deal? What if she misses? There's no second shot or reloading. What if she hits the assailant? IIRC, the charge lasts for five seconds. Since it almost certainly won't kill the assailant, she now has a living witness to testify against her, sue her for agg. assault or, worse, chase her down, knowing she's out of ammo to use against him. They're good for cops because cops have other tools to subdue someone and need the TASER just long enough to get the cuffs on. I don't know how this would be good for personal protection. I have a female friend who has one, but TASER is a local company, is her client and she got it for a song.
