The Benefits Of The Taser C2
By: Rick Saxby
I believe I feel the same way about shooting someone in a real self defense situation as the majority of people in America would feel today. It should be a last resort. There are also many people who would like to defend themselves against an attacker without taking a life and owning a firearm is out of the question for them. Whether you own a firearm for self defense or you would never even dream of owning one, the Taser C2 is the perfect non-lethal self defense weapon.
There are lots of options when it comes to lethal and non-lethal self defense today. Some of the non-lethal options that come to mind are pepper sprays, expandable batons and stun guns. They are all great weapons and very effective but batons and stun guns are more extreme close quarters combat weapons. Using a baton is a very effective method of self defense but you have to allow your attacker to get right next to you, putting you at risk for injury. Stun guns also have this problem. Pepper spray puts distance between you and the attacker but it can blow back at you in windy environments and sometimes people are so drunk or enraged that they don’t respond to the pain of pepper spray.
Again, pepper spray, the expandable baton and stun guns all have their place on your tool belt and are great options by themselves (they all have earned good reputations throughout the years) but they, like every weapon, have downsides. The Taser C2 isn’t a hundred percent effective either, neither is a gun for that matter, but police departments have been using the Taser X26 version with outstanding results. Don’t think you have to have an X26 police version instead of the Taser C2 either. The truth is as a civilian or undercover cop you would probably want the C2 because of its compactness verses the bulky size of the X26. The only difference between the two is the X26 can shoot to about twenty five feet and shocks in five to ten second bursts so cops can handcuff the suspect. The C2 shocks in a thirty second burst and shoots up to fifteen feet which requires less wire coiled up in the cartridge, hence its smaller compact size (it only weighs 8.2 ounces). It is so small that people actually can carry them comfortably in their front pockets. There are also holsters specifically made for the C2 if your pockets are full.
The great thing about the Taser C2 is that, unlike other non-lethal self defense weapons, it isn’t reliant on pain compliance. The C2 shoots two probes at a distance of fifteen feet and administers something called neural muscular incapacitation to your attacker. These probes can go through two inches of clothing and they don’t even have to touch the skin in order to administer the shock. Again, this doesn’t have anything to do with pain, it works by interfering with a person’s sensory and motor functions.
It works because the entire human body runs on electricity, that includes sensory and motor functions. Sensory functions include temperature and touch and motor commands include muscle movements, even involuntary ones. The C2 works by disrupting the messages sent from your brain to your body essentially making your attacker temporarily paralyzed. It does’t even matter if he’s drunk or a raging lunatic who doesn’t feel pain, he’s going down.
The taser is a great non-lethal self defense weapon because it allows you to keep distance between you and your attacker with its fifteen foot reach. It also has a laser to give you great accuracy which also acts as a great deterrence to any would-be attackers. When you actually do shoot someone, two harpoon-type probes shoot out and imbed into the assailant’s flesh. Thirty seconds of shaped pulse energy bursts follow, allowing you to drop the taser and have the thirty seconds to run away. Don’t worry about leaving it behind because each Taser C2 comes with a lifetime warranty. If you do use the C2 in a self defense situation and file a police report, just send a copy of the police report to the Taser company and you will receive another Taser C2 free of charge. Also, once you shoot the C2 you can easily take out the cartridge and it becomes a pain compliance stun gun.
Believe it or not, it is actually “more legal” for civilians to carry than police batons are in most places because it’s not even considered a firearm by the ATF. It’s also very easy to operate, just aim with the laser and push a button. The C2 has a long lasting battery, lasting up to fifty, thirty second fires. The power cell is very good; it’s very shock resistant and well made. So if you are thinking of adding another non-lethal self defense weapon to your arsenal, you should consider the Taser C2, quite possibly the gold standard of non-lethal self defense weapons.
Prevent a Dog Attack with a Stun Gun
We’ve all either had it happen to us or at least feared having it happen. You’re walking along when a dog, out of no where, charges you ready to attack and bite. Well there is a way to prevent that dog from going any further that will not harm the dog and prevent you from being harmed.
Simply by carrying stun gun and giving a test fire into the air is usually enough to stop the dog in its tracks. They sense the electrical charge and know not to go any further. If, for some reason, the dog is over-adrenalined and is still coming, you can make contact with them and the stun gun, firing it and, as long as the stun gun is of good quality, the dog will stop.
For some, a stun baton is prefered as they are a little longer, giving generally 12-24 inches of distance between the dog and the user. Or even a stun cane is a great item to carry, as they typically offer a distance of 32-36 inches between you and the dog. The cane is truly nice if the dog actually needs contact with the stun gun since they offer such a great distance between the user and the dog.
Buy Stun Gun
For many, the best place to buy a stun gun is online. I mean, there are so many different choices available and so much hype about each one, that it can be difficult to sift through all the hoopla.
But, online, one can most easily buy stun gun because they can easily be compared. Once the shopper finds a model that seems to fit their needs, a quick search for reviews on the model can turn up valuable input from someone who has actully purchased the particular model. Then, once a model has been selected, searching for that particular model will turn up several retailers. Upon reviewing each retailer’s site, a comparison of prices can be done to find the best price or supplier that you’ll feel most comfortable with.
This day and age, most stun guns can be bought online from suppliers who provide free shipping and no issue with returning the unit should the item just not be what the shopper thought it would be. The internet has truly provided us with an invaluable tool and a tool of extreme convenience. Its no wonder that so much shopping gets done on the internet. And, I think this is a big reason why companies like UPS are positioning themselves to continue substantial growth in the future.
Taser Gun
I’m at my local sporting goods store the other day and I happen across their display of Taser Guns and Stun Guns. Since I’m in the business, I wanted to see their prices. Holy Crap they’re high!
A particular model of stun gun we sell on our site for $48, with free shipping, they’re selling for $75. And, the M26C Taser Gun, which we sell for $430, they’ve got for $500. I couldn’t believe it! While it may be somewhat convenient to be able to pull into a parking lot, walk into a store and buy a taser or stun gun, it seems to me that its more convenient to sit at my desk and order one and have it shipped directly to my home. I don’t pay sales tax and I save a ton in the process.
So, my advice today: feel free to go out to a sporting goods or gun store and look at some product. Check it out and see what feels right. Then, go online and see how much money you’re gonna save by ordering the exact same model online. You’ll be happy knowing you saved 20% or 30% in the process AND you’ll get the model that you really need or want.
Getting Close to my Stun Gun at Closing Time
So, it was just before closing time at out brick and mortar store when a guy came in wearing a pretty heavy coat and who looked a little out of place. Now, I try not to prejudge people, but I still have to be cautious, especially since my wife and daughter work with me. So, I eased over to the counter area where we keep our stun gun. I reached down and grabbed it and proceeded to head out to the sales floor.
The guy moved through different sections of the store looking at things. And, I kept thinking to myself, “Okay, its almost 80 degrees outside and this guy is wearing a fairly heavy coat.” It just didn’t make sense. In an attempt to make him think I had the upper hand, I disappeared into a back store room and came out with my hand sort of tucked into the back of my pants. You know, kind of like if I had just stuffed handgun down there. I moved into a position where I now had him blocked. I could tell he felt quite uneasy.
After about 30 seconds, he looked at me, smiled and said thanks and left. That was A-Okay with me. No trouble and now we could close. I’m glad I didn’t have to use my stun gun, but I’m also glad knowing I had it if I needed it. Protection these days is more and more necessary and none of us can afford to take any chances.
Buy Stun Gun
So, you need or want to buy a stun gun, but where do you start? For many, this is reality. Like
many things that you need to buy, you have to sift through all the hype to find the make and model that is just right for you and your needs.
When it comes to buy stun gun, its no different. All manufacturers make claims about super high voltages or discrete or hidden stun guns or features like flashlights that make theirs the best. But, in reality, these things may or may not make a difference for you. Getting back to the basics, you need to keep in mind you started the search to find a means to protect yourself. Thus, flashlights and hidden gimmicks aren’t necessarily what you need. What you need is a protective means that will put an attacker on their butt, allowing you time to get away. And, as such, what you really need is a combination of high voltage, high amperage and a convenient and comfortable stun gun to carry.
I personally recommend Barracuda Stun Guns for this as they offer the best features for your purchase and they are of the highest quality stun guns available.
Barracuda BC37 – Coming Soon
Okay, Over the Counter Intelligence, Inc. is set to release their latest model of stun gun. The best selling Barracuda BC30 is being replaced by the BC37. Basically, its an increase in voltage from 3 million volts to 3.7 million volts. But, everything else about the stun gun will remain the same.
Eliot Harris, of SmartStun.com, applauds Over the Counter Intelligence, Inc on delivering the what consumers want and need, without jeopardizing the quality of their product. The Barracuda Stun Guns will continue to be of the same quality materials, the best type of rechargeable batteries and the highest amperage of any stun guns on the market. SmartStun’s relationship with Over the Counter Intelligence, Inc over the past “has been the best. We feel as if we are partners with them as opposed to just retailers,” said Harris.
The Barracuda BC37 will surely become the new best stun gun seller we have. As well, the BC12, the original release of the Barracuda line, will finally be retired. Its a little sad to know that the original product that launched the best stun guns into the market, will be retired. But, Over the Counter Intelligence, Inc continues to push on with the development of their stun guns.
The Best Stun Gun Period
Over the Counter Intelligence is the maker of the absolute best stun gun available. While both the Barracuda BC20 and BC30 only differ with the amount of voltage they offer, the 3 million volt BC30 is one that I recommend to virtually everyone.
What makes the BC30 the best stun gun? Well, while most manufacturers are claiming ultra high voltages, which is somewhat important, only Over the Counter Intelligence has focused on higher amperage stun guns. And, amperage is what penetrates into muscles causing them to spasm, fatigue and lock up. Amperage is what puts your target on the ground! Most stun guns deliver somewhere around 3 milliamps of current. But, Barracudas all deliver approximately 4.5 milliamps of current. This is a full 50% increase over other stun guns! This is huge.
Also, though, the Barracuda line of stun guns are all quality built. From the moment you first get one into your hand, you can feel the quality. They are not cheaply made most other stun guns. And, not only does the warranty cover the stun gun, but also the built in battery, which is Ni-MH; without getting into the specifics, just know that this type of battery is the ONLY tpe of battery which should be used for stun guns.
High voltage: 3 million volts. High amperage: 4.5 milliamps. Quality construction: 5 year warranty. Best battery: Ni-MH. All these are what makes the Barracuda BC30 stun gun the best stun gun….and the only one I carry.
ZAPLE Flashlight Stun Gun
PS Products is set to release a new product that is sure to be hit like all of their other products. PS Products manufactures the ZAP
line of stun guns and stun products. Currently, they have a flashlight stun gun with the model of ZAPL.
So, the new model of flashlight stun gun coming out, I’m told, will be the ZAPLE. The “E” is for EXTREME! They haven’t told me yet what will make it extreme, but based on ZAP’s other products, I’m sure the ZAPLE will live up to its name. The base model is a 1 million volt stun flashlight with an ultrabright LED flashlight head and an incredibly durable aluminum casing. Now, I do know the ZAPLE will be black, but it looks like, from the pictures I’ve seen, its made of the same high quality aluminum casing. So, I”m assuming the EXTREME is referring to an increase in power. Bad guys better beware…..ZAP IS ON THE MOVE!
