For Personal Protection
The following information is taken from the Factory LaserMax site.
The Lasermax lasers could prove to be a valuable addition to your home
defense package. However no laser is a replacement for proper training
and quality practice. For example: You've taken a basic NRA
handgun course, you've practiced shooting bulls eye targets at the
range and can shoot the center out of them. Now real life: How many
times have you drawn and fired? How many times have you drawn and
fired in the dark with and without a flashlight? Have you every
practiced malfunction clearing and tactical reloading. Ever
completed any of these tasked in a stressed environment? As we stated
the Lasermax is an excellent tool if you know how to put it all
together.

Home Defense
You wake to the sound of breaking glass. It's 3 AM and the family
has been tucked away for some time. You hear an intruder that is
obviously not as familiar with your house as you are. Your wife calls
911 and gives them a complete description of you and what you are
wearing, but their arrival will take time. You get a flashlight and
your personal protection handgun out from safekeeping, ensure the gun
is loaded, and double check to ensure your family are all present in
their rooms.
As the intruder passes through your house and approaches your
location at the top of the stairs, the living room light comes on. You
confront the intruder, painting him with your LaserMax Laser. He
instantly knows that he has been targeted and submits, waiting for the
authorities to arrive. Thankfully, you did not have to shoot, but you
had the confidence to know you could have if necessary.
You will react to a stressful encounter in your home or business
just as a trained professional law enforcement officer does on the
street. That stress will cause you to respond physiologically, due to
the release of adrenaline by your sympathetic nervous system (SNS).
This automatic response will cause you to:
- Become binocular-dominant. This happens because your body wants
to receive as much visual input as possible. The affect is that you
won't be able to close one eye to aim.
- Lose the ability to have near sight vision. You simply will not
be able to see the front sight.
With LaserMax you will:
- Be focused on the threat and able to index the laser accurately
because that is where your attention will be
- Be better able to see the blinking laser as the eye is designed
to see it up to three times quicker then a steady beam
- Intimidate the intruder as he also will see the blinking laser
quicker
- Be able to see the blinking laser even if you left your glasses
behind
- Probably not have to shoot! Most police officers report that
when LaserMax is used on the street, the aggressiveness of their
subjects is decreased and they comply to arrest willingly
- Have the confidence to know that LaserMax has the best possible
point-of-aim/point-of impact on the market. This is true over
varying distances important in the unlikely event that you have to
shoot
When it comes to your safety and the safety of your family, second
best just isn't good enough! The question is not whether you can
afford to have a LaserMax; it's can you afford not to...
Remember:
- Call the police and let them know what you are wearing and that
you are armed.
- Never engage a threat you can't identify.
- Never point a gun at anything or anyone you are not willing to
destroy.
- Practice with your home defense weapon, and become familiar with
it.
Also:
- Lasers give an advantage, but they are no substitute for proper
training and practice. Get instruction, and please, visit your range
for regular practice.
- Store guns safely, out of the reach of children.
- The National Rifle Association offers training programs and
assistance (NRA
Safety & Training for Personal Protection in the home).
