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.

“As diligent and hardworking as campus police are, they cannot protect all the many people on campus at all time, so let those folks protect themselves.”
State Representative Buzz Brockway plans to file a bill next week that would let students at least 18 years of age carry electroshock weapons on all of Georgia's public campuses. The bill, according to Brockway, was written after he discover...ed students are allowed to carry pepper spray on campus but not Tasers or stun-guns.
Many Georgia lawmakers are pushing for legislation that would permit students to carry handguns on campus but state law currently prohibits concealed handgun license holders from exercising their rights on school grounds. Most efforts to bring guns to campus have stalled at the capitol because university presidents oppose the idea. House Bill 544, which would allow anyone to carry guns on Georgia's public campuses, was introduced in 2015 but has not received a committee hearing.
“Students told me they were not allowed to carry pepper spray with them on campus. I thought this was strange so I did some research. I found they were mistaken, and they are allowed to possess pepper spray and similar chemically based protection items. However, several of the public colleges I examined in Georgia explicitly prohibited stun-guns and Tasers on campus. So I decided to introduce a bill to change that,” Brockway told Campus Reform.
Brockway added that he thinks campus police departments are not staffed well enough to account for all of the crimes on campus.
“What I hear from students, faculty, and other campus employees, especially folks at colleges and universities in the city of Atlanta, is a desire to protect themselves,” he said. “As diligent and hardworking as campus police are, they cannot protect all the many people on campus at all time, so let those folks protect themselves.”
Some state senators, however, have raised concerns about the safety of stun-guns. Senator Vincent Fort said Tasers in the hands of college students could lead to many accidental injuries. Brockway disagrees and thinks students who purchase stun-guns will be responsible enough to avoid injuries.
“Pepper spray is allowed and we don't see much misuse of those products on college campuses. I think the people who will choose to purchase electroshock weapons for their personal protection will act responsibly,” Brockway argued.
Unlike campus carry legislation, Brockway's bill would not require students to pass a background check before purchasing a stun-gun.
“As best I can tell, there is currently no requirement in Georgia law for screening or training before purchasing Tasers, stun guns or other electroshock weapons and my bill does not require those things either,” he said.

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.

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.

Taser International Inc. debuted its new updated consumer self-defense weapon Tuesday at a Las Vegas firearms conference.
The Taser Pulse is a smaller, discreet sub-compact design so private citizens can carry the stun gun either in their pocket, purse or holster, said Taser spokesman Steve Tuttle.
“We realized that bulky is not good for consumers,” Tuttle said. “The original one was pretty big. This is meant to be carried around. If it's not small it becomes a nightstand device. We want it to fit in a pocket or purse with an intuitive design.
While Scottsdale-based Taser (Nasdaq: TASR) originally started selling to consumers and first started selling its Air Taser consumer model in 1994, a year after the company started, the Pulse is the first consumer upgrade since 2007, Tuttle said.
Taser began selling its stun guns to law enforcement in 1998 as demand grew, and now more than 18,000 law enforcement agencies in 107 countries use Tasers.

If you want to defend yourself, but don't want to carry a firearm, TASER (which, amusingly, stands for Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle) thinks it has the answer: it's called the Pulse and it's a new, subcompact self-defense weapon meant for easy concealed carry.
About the size of a carry-focused handgun, the Pulse uses the same electrical tech as TASER's police-focused weapons, but without expensive law enforcem...ent-focused add-ons like data logs, charge metering, and an on-board camera. It starts at $399, and includes an on-board laser sight and flashlight.
It includes some nice features to make things easier for concealed carry, including shaved safeties, angled sights, and an angled trigger guard to keep sharp edges from snagging upon draw or reholster, and a user-replaceable battery. TASER says a dozen brand-name holster manufacturers will be releasing holsters designed for it, too.
The $400 price puts it in the same ballpark as some of the more affordable subcompact, concealed-carry firearms, like the Walther PK380 and the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380, but you can buy the new Pulse today online at our everyday low price of only $379. Just head over to http://www.thecoverteye.com/Taser_Pulse
Though "less-lethal" weapons like those made by TASER are popular with police departments, they have had more trouble making inroads in the consumer sector. That's for two reasons: they're expensive and the weapons are physically quite large, and thus not good for concealment.
The consumer version of the X26, TASER's police-focused sidearm, runs around a thousand dollars and is larger in size. It's something one could conceivable keep around the house or in a car, but it's not practical to carry in a belt or hide in a bag. The other consumer-focused TASER is the C2, now renamed the Bolt, which has been around for almost a decade and doesn't use the easy and familiar firearm shape and grip. It starts at $300.
TASER says it will offer free replacement weapons to anyone who needs to deploy the Pulse, then drop it and run — the gun will continue immobilizing for 30 seconds, allowing time to escape an attacker.

Taser is now offering the X26P to the consumer buying public. The newly improved single-shot X26P uses the same standard TASER cartridge as the X26C and includes new enhancements and safety features that integrate core elements of the Smart TASER platform from the TASER X2.
"The new X26P will feel familiar to many law enforcement officers, combining the form factor and cartridge from the original X26C with improved ergonomics, weatherproofing, and updated Smart technology features," said CEO and founder Rick Smith. "Smart technology adds enhanced safety and performance, improved data and analytics together with superior quality, reliability and durability."
"The X26P is a result of 10 years of technological advancements and the 'TASER Experience,' incorporating the voice of our customers and their needs with our world class research and support teams. The voice of the customer is critical to our success and based on this feedback we know there is a continuing market need for a cost effective single-shot device similar to the X26C which does not require substantial new training or changing inventories of cartridges. We found in our testing that some of our customers wanted the feature-rich improvements from the X2, but delivered in the X26 form factor. The X26C was our most popular model but had not seen any major change in nearly a decade -- until now."
"The TASER X26P reaches back to the basics of what makes TASER great in the hands of officers. Details about every deployment can now be traced back to the unit, making the X26P easier to use and ultimately easier to trust," concluded Smith.
SMART TECHNOLOGY DETAILS:
•An all-digital, solid-state architecture using Charge Metering that measures and delivers the amount of electric charge to maximize both safety and effectiveness.
•Trilogy Logs that include Engineering and Event Logs that record every user action such as: safety activation; trigger duration with times, dates, battery life; and a pulse-by-pulse record of the charge output.
•Universal Smart Platform where the following are compatible with both the X26P and X2: TASER CAM HD recorder, high capacity Performance Power Magazine (PPM), Automatic Performance Power Magazine (APPM) with automatic 5-second cycle shutoff, and firmware updates over the internet.
•Like other Smart CEWs, the X26P integrates with EVIDENCE.com, which helps manage and analyze evidence data with best-in-class security and ease-of-use.
Quality and Reliability Improvements
•IPX2 rated weatherproofing to resist rain and humidity.
•The X26P is backed by TASER's world class warranty and customer support.
•A new and improved eXtended Performance Power Magazine (XPPM) that provides an extended grip on the handle and an improved location to store and protect an extra cartridge.
Cost Effective
•Upgraded battery performance using a highly improved power magazine that lasts twice as long as the battery used with the original X26.
•Upgrade and trade-in program available for current customers (www.TASER.com/upgrade)
•The X26P is priced at $849.95. A variety of power magazine options including TASER CAM HD, PPM, APPM, and XPPM are sold separately to allow
agencies to customize their device configuration.
