Tasers Respond to Women’s Self Defense Need

Taser International is alert to the ever-changing winds of fashion as well as the rock solid self defense needs of private citizens, law enforcement and other security professionals. Police and other professional models are fairly bulky and pretty much “plain Jane” units in terms of fashion. Nevertheless, they do have a fair number of bells and whistles, such as digital countdown readouts, audio and video capabilities, confetti-like tags which are dispersed when the weapon’s probes are deployed, and even UV dye to mark the bad guys.

The newer generation, tweaked for safety-conscious fashionistas, consists of fairly basic models which come in a delightful array of colors. Even these less fancy Tasers fire barbed probes, propelled by an inert gas packaged in a compact cartridge. The projectiles are attached to the hand-held unit by insulated wires (up to about fifteen feet in length) which deliver the stunning voltage required to bring a would-be assailant to his knees – or all the way to the ground. It’s not just a pain-deterrent type of weapon. The Shaped Pulse charge penetrates clothing then disables the brain’s ability to control skeletal muscles (the ones you need for standing up).

Ladies and gentlemen who have color coordination issues can find Tasers in a lovely range of colors including Lipstick Red, Metallic Pink, Black Pearl, Titanium Silver, Electric Blue, and Leopard. They also come in the practical and ever-popular Camouflage – perfect for blending into your cubicle.
