TASER C2
The new TASER C2® series has almost 100% effectiveness rating. It combines the injury reducing benefits of traditional stun technology with a quantum leap in stopping power via new Neuromuscular Incapacitation (NMI) technology. In the newest police studies, the new TASER C2 has a higher instant incapacitation rate than a 9mm hand gun. The TASER C2 shoots out 2 darts attached to 15 feet of wire. 50,000 volts travels over the wires and over-rides the central nervous system providing incredible takedown power.

A Pentagon office that helped develop microwave weapons that cause intense pain, lasers that temporarily blind people, and devices that emit intolerable levels of sound, is now working on a technology that uses electrical pulses to incapacitate people. If the research proves successful, it could lead to a new, more effective type of wireless stun gun.
Called the nanosecond electrical pulse (nsEP) project, the research focuses on using brief electrical pulses to temporarily paralyze an individual by disrupting the nervous system, similar to the way the Taser now works. But where this project differs from
most other stun guns, according to the Pentagon, is that it could theoretically be built as a wireless system, and have a longer lasting effect
Taser International, the leader in stunning devices, makes a line of incapacitating weapons that typically work with darts attached to wires, or by placing the weapon in direct contact with a person. Though there is a wireless version of a Taser, called the eXtended Range Electronic Projectile, which works from a shotgun, nanosecond electrical pulses offer the possibility of shrinking the size of the non-lethal round further, making the weapon more portable than current stun guns.
Of the leading Taser products on the market today, the Taser Pulse is probably the most compact and popular model available, and the first choice of women. Small enough to carry in a purse, the Taser C2 can stop a threat up to 15 feet away (4.5 meters), allowing you a safe distance to protect yourself and family members from an attacker. If a close quarter defense is warranted, the C2 doubles as a contact stun device to repel someone with a powerful and unexpected backup capability.
Stepping up from the Pulse is the more menacing Taser X2 with the same unprecedented take-down power as their law enforcement-grade counterparts. The Taser X2 delivers an incapacitating pulse that overrides the sensory and motor functions of the nervous system. This powerful Neuro Muscular Incapacitation (NMI) technology can stop even the most aggressive individuals, including those under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
Taser ECDs (Electronic Control Devices) use replaceable cartridges containing inert, compressed nitrogen to fire two small probes that are attached to 15 foot insulated conductive wires. Energy is sent over the wires into the probes, which can penetrate up to two inches of clothing. The charge is transmitted between the two probes, jamming sensory and motor functions, and inhibiting muscular control. This NMI effect continues in 5-10 second cycles each time you press the trigger. The X2 and Taser X1 can also be used in direct contact stun mode.
Carrying a Taser or Stun Gun is an excellent way to provide protection for yourself and your family, but it also comes with a certain amount of responsibility. Use it only in a manner consistent with the law, and take care to safeguard your device so it doesn't become lost or stolen.

In a bit of marketing stragety TASER International recently changed the popular C2 to the Taser Bolt. No modifications were made to its unique slender design or knock down power, but the new Bolt will now only be offered in black. This means that the 5 colors that were available with the Taser C2 will be discontinued. Right now we have a few of the C2s stil in stock to choose from, but once they're gone we will be unable to order any more.
The new Taser Bolt is light weight, compact and easily fits in a
pocket or purse. The 15 foot cartridge allows for a safe distance between you and an attacker. When fired, the TASER Bolt will deliver a 30-second energy burst. During this 30-second window of opportunity while the attacker is incapacitated, you can set the unit down and get to safety.
The Bolt can also be used as a close proximity stun gun back up without the cartridge or after the cartridge has been fired. The high precision laser allows for greater accuracy. The low intensity light illuminates for better visibility so you can easily identify a target at night.
TASER Bolt's are powered by a replaceable lithium battery which provides over 50 firings. TASERs can be carried openly or concealed without a license.

Having recently attended a self defense course for women, my wife learned how very important it is to pay attention to your surroundings. This is almost the golden rule of self defense. Along with being alert it ...is not a bad idea to explore different options in self defense products that offer an additional level of protection. The most popular of these items are Tasers, stun guns, and pepper spray.
Tasers are a popular choice for several reasons. One of the big advantages of a Taser is that they can be used from a distance; generally the maximum distance for civilian models is around 15 feet. Another bonus that a Taser offers is that it can be used in a similar fashion as a stun gun, with direct contact. Finally, Tasers have become much easier to carry as they have become smaller and more user friendly over the years
Right now, the latest and greatest Taser on the market is the Taser C2. This Taser has many options that have not been available before. There are more choices when it comes to how long a pulse is, or how long the electric current is going. The C2 gives the user more control.
Sometimes even a reminder about common-sense ways to stay safe is all you may need.
Keep yourself out of dangerous situations. That small voice inside is worth listening too. Many women who have been victims of an assault later stated that they felt something was just not right. Be smart, find something you are comfortable carrying and using, and most of all, be prepared to defend yourself.

American homes are victims of burglary about every 15 seconds, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The typical homeowner suffers a loss of nearly $2,000 in stolen goods or property damage.
"With the national economy getting worse, burglary is again becoming a more common crime," said Charles Sczuroski, a former police officer and now senior trainer for the National Crime Prevention Council.
If you have a high deductible on your homeowners insurance policy, you'll likely have to pay out of pocket to replace your stuff. But for a small investment, you can make your home less appealing to burglars in the first place.
9 Ways To Protect Your Home From Burglary
1. Prune your shrubs. Bushes, shrubs and trees can offer an intruder places to hide and camouflage signs of a break-in. Trim back any overgrown vegetation so that your home's windows, porches and doors are visible to neighbors and passersby. This doesn't cost but a few hours of your time, yet it can make a difference in making your property much less attractive to a burglar.
2. Draw the blinds. Use shades, drapes and other window treatments to keep potentially tempting household items out of view. Burglary is sometimes a crime of opportunity and "window-shopping" is one way criminals choose potential targets.
3. Don't advertise new purchases. Be sure not to draw undue attention to your home by discarding empty boxes at the curb with your trash -- a big problem during the holidays. By putting out boxes from a new flat-screen television, video game system, a laptop computer or other expensive home electronics at the curb, you're showing a potential burglar exactly what new and valuable items are now available in your home.
4. Get motion sensors. Adequate nighttime illumination is critical, because a dark or poorly lit property makes it easier for a burglar to go about unseen. The best deterrent for crime and therefore safety for your home and family is to install motion-sensing security. Motion-sensing security lights are ... activated when motion is detected and the sudden change from darkness to the bright light will not only startle intruders, but also provide a visual alert to the homeowner and neighbors.
5. Set timers indoors. Many insurance companies recommend using timers that are hooked up to indoor lights, as well as radios or televisions. Setting a timer to switch on about 30 to 45 minutes before it gets dark makes it appear more like someone is really at home, and combined with a radio or TV activating during the day and evening, that impression can be even more convincing. Burglars generally don't want to be confronted by anyone in a home. They basically want to slip in and out unseen. If they hear sounds of activity, they'll generally move on.
Timers can run from about $5 to $40, depending on their sophistication. A basic plug-in unit can turn a light on and off once or twice a day, whereas a wired digital outlet switch can switch lights on at any number of set or random times.
6. Reinforce entry points. Sixty percent of all burglaries take place at ground floor doors and windows, so it makes sense to "harden" these entry points. All entry doors should be solid wood or steel-wrapped wood-core doors. Hollow-core doors or rickety old wood-panel doors can be kicked in easily and don't offer much of a deterrent. New solid (slab) doors cost around $100. Installation, of course, will cost extra. However, an experienced home handyman can tackle the job with the help of instructions.
7. Shield windows near doors. For existing doors with windows, safety experts recommend installing a protective barrier of quarter-inch Plexiglas over any existing glass. Attached properly, it can prevent the burglar from breaking the window and either opening the door's lock from the inside or getting into the house through the opening.
8. Install deadbolts. A deadbolt should be installed on every exterior entry door, and the bolt should have a throw of at least one inch. Insurance companies and locksmiths recommend Grade 1 or Grade 2 American National Standards Institute deadbolt locks on exterior entryways. The two main types of deadbolts are single and double cylinder locks. A single cylinder deadbolt, about $35, has a keyed opening on one side and a knob that can be turned by hand on the other. A double cylinder deadbolt lock, about $45, is keyed on both sides.
A double cylinder locks should be used on a door with a glass section or one located near a window. If the glass is broken and someone tries to reach in to open the door, they won't be able to.
Consult local building codes before buying new double cylinder deadbolt locks, though. Some communities don't allow their use due to safety concerns: They can impede a speedy exit from a home in case of fire. And when upgrading any entry door lockset, make sure that the strike plate is properly secured with strong 3-inch screws into the home's structural framing (studs).
9. Use Common Sense. But the best form of protection is to simply lock all your doors and windows whenever you leave your home. It's amazing how many people don't do that, and yet it's the simplest and best thing anyone can do.
At this time of year the warm weather finds most of us outside, or in the backyard pool, or getting ready for that summer vacation. An open garage door, and unlocked door or open window, or newspapers piled up on the porch are all invitations to would-be intruders. Take a moment to safe-guard your home and valuable possessions this weekend. A theft can happen in less than 60 seconds.

There is so much information available on the Internet, it can sometimes be overwhelming. When it comes to self-defense this is no exception. A large amount of information is available about various self-defense products, techniques and tips from experts. With all this online self-defense information, there is just no excuse for people not to invest in the product or experience necessary to guard themselves against an assailant.
National law enforcement statistics tell us that more than 1.3 million crimes are committed every year. Don't be a victim to a carjacking, forcible rape, aggravated assault or robbery and don't become a statistic. If you have knowledge of self-defense or carry a self-defense device, you have the additional tools to prevent an attack, or free yourself, should it happen.
A lot of people prefer buying online self-defense products, as they feel that the websites have more in-depth information about the various products. Some sites are experts in self-defense and feature blogs and discussion forums where many people can interact and ask questions, share experiences or receive additional information.
Online self-defense portals provide a variety of non-lethal self defense products, either for the home or to carry with you. The best sites also suggests books and videos, offer free articles and e-mail newsletters which will assist you in learning more and more about this vital subject.
When you are generally uncomfortable going to a local store for your personal safety devices, online self-defense websites are a good answer. These sites will carry all types of personal safety items -- stun guns, TASER™ devices and pepper sprays, for example. Today's technology allows these products to fit into a pocket or purse, and work effectively in stopping an attack.
Crime statistics show that self-defense protection is needed at home as well as away. FBI crime figures show that a burglary takes place in an apartment, condominium or a house once every 15 seconds. In many shocking cases, somebody is at home at the time but did not hear the intruder until it was too late. Numerous home safety products can help.
There is often a much more extensive collection of online self defense products than there are in traditional brick and mortar retail stores. Apart from conventional home security services such as window and door alarms and motion detectors, other methods are available to protect your home. Door braces, fake TVs, Safety Beams and electronic dog alarms are examples. An extensive selection of products for the home or to carry with you make it affordable and sensible for everyone to protect their own personal safety.
Look for a Web store, like THE COVERT EYE, that specialize when you are shopping online for self-defense devices. For example, we carry a full line of Mace, Wildfire, Tornando, Streetwise, and Pepper Shot Pepper Sprays, along with several types of animal repellents, as well as non-leathal self defense weapons from makers like Taser, Stun Master, Z-Force, Streetwise, Runt, and many others. Additionally, we will often be able to advise you which items are legal for your particular state.

Oscar winner NICOLE KIDMAN is trying to raise awareness of violence against women. The actress, who is the goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) - helped launch the Say No to Violence against Women campaign. She says, "One in three women will encounter violence in some way, shape or form against them in their lifetime. So much of it is shrouded in silence. What we are trying to do is say this is something that needs to be addressed.
A lot of it is taking away the stigma, creating awareness and not making it a silent pandemic. I want to encourage people of all nations to unite behind our call to end violence against women." Despite the advances of our society and the changing view we take of women's rights, abuse continues to be a huge problem in this country, as it does in India, South Africa, Pakistan and Asia.
In 2009, there were over 270,000 reported cases of rape or sexual assault against women in the U.S. Unlike our stereotype image of these victims, abuse against women happens to the wealthy, educated, and even soccer moms. In the United States, every twelve to eight seconds a woman is beaten by a man; four women each day are reported beaten to death; 1 in 6 women will be sexually assulted in their lifetime; and college-age women are 4 times more likely to be sexually assulted than any other demographic. Violence against women knows nothing about socio-economic, educational, racial or religious boundaries. While we have certainly made great strides towards a more equitable, just society for everyone, we still have a long way to go before we can say we have truly overcome our violent behavior.
So, what measures can be taken to reduce these numbers? If we remember our medieval history of the world, there were valiant knights who saved damsels in distress. Remember King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table? In today's world a woman gets molested and harassed domestically as well as in the workplace, and these issues go without any notice. Abuse against women even takes place right in public places. We feel sorry for the poor lady, but we just go on with our lives. Where have all those knights gone?
Over the past few years, as various support groups for battered and abused women have grown, so, too, have self-defense classes for women. Women today are choosing to fight back! In nearly every community you can now find instructional training for women that promotes security, safety, and self confidence from knowing how to defend yourself from the threat of attack. But what if you're a Senior living alone, or weigh all of 98 pounds soaking wet? There are several personal security alarms and non-lethal personal protection devices on the market today that can offer you that same level of safety and security, while providing you the self defense weapon that will turn the table against any attacker. Do not become another statistic! Below, are some of the items available that you can carry with you to turn the odds in your favor.
Personal Alarms – These are small devices that can fit easily on a keychain so they are always at your fingertips. They produce a loud 130 db screeching alarm that immediately draws the attention of any passerby. When some unsavory character approaches you, simply press the button and the alarm sounds. They come in various decibel levels and can prove to be the first line of defense against an attack. The last thing most assailants want is to draw attention to themselves. These handy alarms do just that. They're great when you're alone, convenient to carry when you're out and about, and portable enough to pack in a suitcase.
Pepper Spray – Pepper Spray comes in many shapes and sizes. The smallest are the size of a tube of lipstick and the largest are about the size of a small fire extinguisher. There are models designed for joggers; others designed to attach to the visor of your car; models that attach to your keyring; and sprays that are cleverly concealed in small everyday objects. Designed to temporarily disable your attacker, they can shoot as far as 12 feet, and when shot into the face of the perpetrator will cause pain and swelling in the eyes and throat. Made from a formula of 10% Oleoresin Capsicum with 2 million Scoville Heat Units, a direct shot will leave your attacker temporarily blinded and gasping for air, giving you time to get to safety. Many pepper sprays are also include a dye that leaves its mark on the attacker, giving the police an easy method to identify them. Pepper sprays are also useful on aggressive animals. One shot in the face will turn the most ferocious dog whimpering off in the other direction.
StunGuns – Stun Guns also come in all shapes and sizes. There are standard models designed to intimidate on sight and more subtle models disguised as cell phones. They all come with a safety to prevent accidental discharge and most of the newer models have an alarm that sounds if for some reason you lose control of the device. Stun guns are an aggressive way to stop any attack. They disrupt the flow of electricity in the body leaving the assailant disabled and lying on the ground, while you run to safety. Though the effects are temporary, they will provide you with more than enough time to escape and find help. Because of their design, the disabling effect of the stun gun can't be transferred from one person to another, even if your assailant is touching you. Along with a built in alarm most models also come with a flashlight. Using the flashlight on your way to the car keeps the stun gun in your hand when you need it most.
Tasers – Taser devices are commonly seen on TV or in the news where a police officer has to subdue someone who is not complying with verbal commands. The subject is often seen posing a danger to himself, or others, and has to be incapacitated for the safety of the officers or of others in the vicinity. Taser devices have been shown to be extremely effective in taking down even the most aggressive person. The Advanced Taser brand non-lethal weapon is a conducted energy weapon that utilizes compressed nitrogen to shoot two small probes up to 15 feet. These probes are connected to the weapon by high-voltage insulated wire. When the probes make contact with the target, the weapon transmits powerful electrical pulses along the wires and into the body of the target, through up to two inches of clothing. The new Taser series has an almost 100% effectiveness rating.
No matter your choice, arming yourself against personal attack is a fundamental right in our free society. You have the right to feel safe. You have the right to protect yourself. And you have the responsibility to do the same for your family. Personal safety technology is a great solution to non-lethal defense. Feel Safe Again!
