Personal Defense Misconceptions Answered

There is a common misconception by the general public with regards to personal self defense weapons. When this topic comes up, most people believe that non-lethal self defense weapons are illegal to carry and require a special permit to carry them, this simply is not true.

Due to media coverage in the past, the topic of self defense is commonly associated with firearms and the laws restricting their possession. Few people realize that there is a wide range of non-lethal personal defense weapons available on the market which require no permit and are totally legal to carry by the general public. However, it must be noted that some of these non-lethal weapons do have some restrictions in certain states, so please check you local, state, and federal laws in you area before deciding to make a purchase. Below are some examples of affordable effective non-lethal self defense weapons available to the general public.

Tasers:

One of the latest self defense products to hit the market is the Taser C2, This non-lethal self defense weapon is the tool of choice for women in real estate, joggers, and college students around the country. Police studies have found the Taser C2 to be as effective as a 9mm handgun. The C2 can be discharged from a safe distance of 15 feet, or used as a drive stun if close quarter applications are necessary.

The Taser C2 works by discharging two probes from a cartridge into an attacker. The probes are attached to the Taser by wire contacts capable of firing up to 15 feet. 50,000 volts travels through the wires into the probes causing involuntary muscle contractions forcing an attacker to become incapacitated and fall to the ground.

The Taser C2 has a lifetime replacement guarantee. The units are designed to be left behind in the event they have to be used. The 30 second cycle was developed to give users a chance to get away and retreat to a safe distance. By filing a police report about the incident and forwarding a copy to the manufacturer your unit will be replaced free of charge. We believe your life and safety is worth far more than the cost of a Taser C2.

The Taser C2 requires a felony background be conducted for activation. This background check cost's $9.95 and takes about 10 minutes to complete. Some states have restrictions on electronic control devices (E.C.D.'s). Tasers are currently prohibited in NY, NJ, WI, MI, RI, MA, D.C., and HI.
