Protecting Oneself Against Possible Danger Whenever Doing Night Photography

By Sue T Wouod


I wasn't precisely sure which cities deemed stun guns legal in Illinois thus I asked my cousin for help. She was doing some sort of training to be a police officer here within Springfield and it turned out there were numerous things I needed to understand.

Stun guns are legal. However, I need to have a valid Firearm Owner's Identification card or FOID before anybody will sell me a stun weapon. For an American resident above 21 years of age and without a criminal background, it should not be a problem.

Just last December, the U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago ruled for the citizens' right to possess firearms for personal protection outside the home, and it should pertain to stun guns as well.

This is good news since I have just been asked to do a coffee table book with a writer and we are going all around the state to be able to photograph a number of the famous and also lesser-known attractions.

What I dread most is night photography. I recall one time I was taking a photograph within Detroit. This was around 1 a.m. and I had not noticed someone approaching behind me right up until I felt something pointy behind my neck.

I broke out in cold sweat. He got my Canon EOS Mark II, my phone, money, everything. If only I had something with me back then, like a stun weapon or a Taser or even pepper spray, then I could have had a fighting chance of incapacitating the guy and going straight for the police station.

That isn't going to occur once again for this assignment. No freaking way. At this time, my partner and also I are organizing for the trip. It could take one year, so that we can cover all 4 seasons in the state.

I figured we would visit the "safer" spots initially and move on to the not-so-safe places immediately after I get my FOID as well as a stun device. Several citizens still don't reckon stun guns legal in Illinois but we know better how necessary one is.
