It is impossible today to turn on the TV and not hear about yet another personal attack.  It doesn’t matter where you live, your local news channel, newspaper and radio has stories every day of some innocent community member being accosted in some way. 

 

As a result, alarms are being bought at an astounding rate.  Purchases of guns are rapidly rising.  But, what if you don’t want a gun and/or can’t afford an alarm system?  What other options are available?  There are a lot of options available. There is a wide variety of affordable self-defense weapons to be found.

 

Recently, more and more self-defense tools and weapons have become available.  Affordable self-defense weapons are more accessible than ever before.  There are many choices available.  There are tasers that come in various sizes and voltage.  There are stun guns that are disguised as cell phones.  There is pepper spray in containers that range from canisters to guns. 

 

It is important to do some research to find affordable self-defense weapons.  Find out how they work.  Decide which ones would be the best for you.  Which ones will be the most efficient, effective and at the same time, the most simple for you to use?  You will be surprised at the amount of choices you have.

Non-Lethal Self-Defense That Works

Imagine you are a middle-aged woman who lives alone. You live in a quiet, middle-class neighborhood where most homes are well kept, have nice amenities and would be good targets for a burglar. In addition, most of your neighbors work during the day, but you are in and out. You like to take a walk with your dog around 2:00 PM each day, when most folks are still at work and there are not many people around.

On a normal week day you are off to walk your little dog at the normal time. You notice a man tying his shoe two houses down from you, so you decide to walk in the other direction. You’ve never seen this individual before, plus, he has a sweatshirt with a hood on. You get a cringe in your stomach, but you keep on walking. You end your walk a bit early and when you return to your home, you literally walk in on this man as he is leaving your house through the back door. You can’t out run or out fight him? What do you do?

Many people today have started purchasing non-lethal weapons such as the Taser C2. This is an excellent option for individuals who want to protect themselves, but do not want to buy or use a gun and don’t want to necessarily kill their attacker. The Taser C2 will do just this for you – protect without killing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Taser C2 will deliver a high voltage shock to your would-be attacker or burglar/robber. This shock will immobilize this individual long enough for you to get away and get help. It will stun the individual’s neuro-muscular system so that they are disoriented and not able to move for a few moments. This can be the difference between you being harmed or being able to escape.

Self-defense is an extremely important issue. Take the time to find out what protection is available and how it will work for you. For further information on the Taser C2 and other self-defense tools and weapons, click here or visit us on the web at DIY Self Defense

C2 Tasers Take Self Defense to New Level

These days, no matter where you live or travel, there is a possibility that you could become the victim of an attack. Even in small towns that in the past have not experienced much crime, personal attacks are becoming more and more prevalent. Since crime is increasing – not decreasing – what can we do to protect ourselves?

There are excellent tools on the market that are legal and legitimate when used properly for self defense. One powerful tool is the Taser C2, which, according to Elias Jimenez of the Defiance post of the Ohio Highway Patrol, “is not an instrument that will kill you, but it is an instrument that will render someone helpless.”

Napoleon, Ohio Police Chief, Bob Weitzel adds, “Such devices as tasers and pepper spray are legitimate self defense tools. The constitution expects you to protect yourself if you are attacked. In a situation where you need to defend yourself, it [a taser] is a good option to have.” Weitzel also added that tasers should be treated with respect, and an individual should understand how a taser works and how to use it effectively.

Watch The Taser C2 Testomionials

Tasers, such as the Taser C2, which are available to the public, work the same as tasers that police officers carry. The difference is that the tasers used by the public produce a lower voltage, but will still incapacitate an attacker, leaving you enough time to get away and get help.

Tasers are affordable, effective and easy to use. They have become so popular that they are available in an assortment of colors. Holsters – such as holsters for your cell phone – are also available in a variety of colors.

Don’t become a victim or a statistic. Don’t avoid taking a walk, run or jog, going to the ATM, or any other activities because of safety concerns. With a Taser C2 you can feel safe and be safe.

Sale of Tasers to public weighed

These days there are more and more personal attacks and a greater need for self-defense products and weapons such as the Taser C2. The article below from the Detroit Daily News discusses some of the issues surrounding self-defense in Michigan. It also specifically talks about the Taser C2, an affordable, effective and powerful self-defense weapon.

Mich. bills would allow people with concealed weapons permits to carry nonlethal device.

GRAND LEDGE — Cana Garrison has handled guns since age 12, when she and her dad shot targets in the woods behind their Charlotte home. But the Air National Guardswoman, who has rifle and pistol training, would rather carry a Taser than a gun. “With a Taser, I can still defend myself, but with less force to incapacitate a perpetrator, and at the same time I don’t have to worry about hurting anyone else,” she said.
Garrison is among those who support a three-bill House package that would allow Michigan residents with concealed-weapon permits to carry a Taser, instead of a gun, as a less-than-lethal option for self-defense. Under current law, only law enforcement and Corrections officers, military personnel, licensed private investigators, pilots and crew members can possess weapons that use electric currents.

“I believe firearms are a good thing, but I’m concerned about potential stray bullets harming someone, especially in my home,” said Garrison, 28, who’s taken state concealed pistol license training and is seeking a CCW permit. “If I shot someone and the bullet went through them, then through a wall or window and hit an innocent bystander on the sidewalk, that’s the absolute last thing I’d want to happen trying to defend yourself.”

The law would allow Michigan residents to buy single-shot civilian Tasers that use compressed nitrogen to shoot wired darts 15 feet, delivering a painful electrical charge that incapacitates a person’s muscles and limbs. And while proponents argue that Tasers are a safer alternative to firearms, law enforcement officials and human rights advocates say the devices are far too dangerous to entrust to the public for widespread use.

Civilians are allowed to carry the devices in 43 states. Taser laws vary by state. Illinois only allows residents to use a Taser or stun gun, which has to be pressed against the skin, inside a home or business. In Arizona, women attend Taser parties that resemble Tupperware get-togethers. In 2007, Taser International released its fits-in-a-purse C2 model, which comes in a variety of colors, including metallic pink.

Michigan’s legislation, which is under review in the House Judiciary Committee, makes it a felony for anyone to misuse or commit a crime with a Taser. Jones hopes the Judiciary Committee takes up the issue in the next two months and the bill gets passed by the end of the year. If not, he will take up the issue again in 2009.
Since the devices are only intended for self-defense, once a Taser is shot it spits out a confetti-like material containing the serial number of the cartridge that police can use to identify the owner if necessary, according to Taser International. The company has sold Tasers since 1994 and knows of fewer than a dozen cases where the device has been used in a crime. In 14 years, more than 160,000 Tasers have been sold to consumers directly from the company, Cabela’s and some firearm outlets.
Tom Urbanski, owner of Ski’s Firearm Training and Consulting in Oregon, Ohio, a Toledo suburb, keeps a handful of Tasers in stock in case one of his firearms students becomes squeamish about using a gun. “When I hit students with the fact they need to aim for somebody’s chest, which might kill them in defense, I usually get a negative reaction, especially from women,” Urbanski said. “That’s when I pull out the Tasers and stun guns and offer them a different option.”

Brad Benzing doesn’t support Michigan’s proposed legislation because, as with guns, it would limit the places where Tasers can be carried.
No-carry zones would include schools, university classrooms and dorms, churches, day care centers, hospitals, bars and taverns, sporting arenas and entertainment facilities with 2,500 people or more. That’s too restrictive for Benzing.

Should a woman carry a gun for protection?

There was an article in the Bucks County Courier Times about women protecting themselves.  It talks about guns and self-defense classes, but also mentions tasers, pepper spray and mace.  We felt it was an appropriate topic for everyone to read.  Excerpts from the article follow below:
 

By MANASEE WAGH
Bucks County Courier Times

Half of Steve Rementer’s students at the shooting range are women these days. In fact, he has designed his course around teaching women how to shoot firearms in self-defense.
“If a woman can protect herself, it’s the first line of defense. She is 30 to 40 percent more likely to be attacked than a man,” said Rementer, a police firearms instructor at Pistol People, a shooting range in Bensalem, and a Philadelphia police officer for 30 years. He said he’s met many women who have been raped and attacked.
“Women are better students than men. They are more focused, and they don’t want to be victimized. Every woman I could teach, I would.”
The National Sporting Goods Association reported in 2006 that 50 percent more women are now target shooting. The association attributed rising gun ownership in part to self-defense.
The National Rifle Association has several women’s programs, including teaching women how to shoot.

Web sites selling defense gear to women have been popping up selling tasers, stun guns and pepper spray.

Three women at southern university campuses were slain within one week recently.
The body of Lauren Burk, 18, an Auburn University student, was found five miles from the campus. Eve Marie Carson, a 22-year-old attending the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, was shot and killed. And Katharine Wood, 24, a senior at the University of Arkansas, was shot dead in her off-campus apartment.
Last April, 32 people at Virginia Tech were murdered by a mentally unstable gunman.
A failed 2006 bill would have allowed students who have a concealed weapon permit to carry firearms anywhere on a Virginia campus.
The Bureau of Justice’s research shows that in 2005 alone, 5.2 million crimes of violence were committed in this country.
In Bucks County, more people are getting gun permits. In 2006, 4,874 gun permits were issued. The number jumped to 5,392 in 2007, according to the sheriff’s office. In the first two months of this year, the county issued nearly 1,000 permits.
While Sheriff Edward J. Donnelly did not have gender statistics, he said the percentage of gun permits issued to women probably has stayed at about 10 percent to 11 percent for years.

People interviewed in Lower Bucks expressed differing opinions about gun permits for women.

William Miller of Levittown said he worries when his girlfriend goes to Philadelphia alone.
“I recently told her to take a can of Mace into the city. It’s dangerous,” he said.

Some said that people would face less risk if strangers think they may be carrying lethal weapons.
“We have the right to bear arms by the Constitution,” said John Chester of Trenton. “Law-abiding citizens are sane enough to use them just for self-defense, as opposed to criminals. Law enforcement can’t be everywhere. You need the ability to fight back.”

However, Susan Perry, who was visiting Yardley from New Jersey, said she is against women carrying guns.
“They should bring Mace, or anything they can use to protect themselves.”

Her husband said even a knife would be better than carrying a gun.
“And never walk alone. Take a defensive action course,” he said.
Some agreed avoiding risk is best.

“There’s safety in numbers,” said Lucy Sanderson of Falls. “I’m not sure if a woman should be carrying a gun. And education is the key — how to defend yourself besides using a weapon.”
She liked a recent citizens’ police academy workshop in Bristol Township, which taught people ways to avoid an attack. Like checking the back seat of your car before you climb in and not bringing your pocketbook into a mall during the holiday shopping rush.
Brian Buchanan of Bristol Township agreed.

“When someone has a weapon, it’s too risky. I’m not in favor of people arming themselves. That’s something for law enforcement,” he said. As the brother of five sisters and uncle to nieces, Buchanan was concerned.
“But the best way is not to attack a violent criminal. We should have more security patrolling the streets,” he said.
Mary Morse, a professor of women’s studies and English at Rider University in Lawrenceville, N.J., said she’s thought about it a lot. But she’d never buy a gun to defend herself, said the Morrisville resident.
“I feel the same about Tasers. Pepper spray is the furthest I’ll go. I’ve discussed it with my students, though I’m not sure they would all agree.”  Her husband, Steve Morse, thinks the same way.

Regardless of what type of protection you need, it is clear that the discussion is a strong and ongoing one, and the decision as to how to protect yourself – especially if you are a woman – is a personal choice.  To see what choices you have available to you and which ones would fit you best, click here, or visit us at DIYselfdefense.com.
