What a great way to end the week — today I am able to share an account of an incident where one woman’s savvy self-defense skills saved her from what could have been a very dangerous situation. In this woman’s story, her awareness of personal safety and willingness to act resulted in a positive outcome and not another tragedy being reported on the evening news.
The following story was sent to us this week by a Sergeant at a California law enforcement agency. The wife of one of his colleagues used her TASER® C2™ to ward off a potential attacker. The woman had obviously thought about her own personal safety beforehand, which is why she was carrying a C2 and was prepared to act in her own defense.
We often find, as in this case, that just taking out your C2 is enough to scare off an attacker.

For most people, Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, even though June 21 is the first summer day on the calendar.

I often get caught up in the increased number of events that I schedule for myself, but one thing I never forget about is my personal safety.

As an active person, I jump at the chance to be outdoors, whether it’s taking a walk around the neighborhood after a long day at work, or going biking or hiking on the weekends. No matter what the activity, I always make sure that I have my TASER® C2™ with me in case someone or some animal tries to interfere with my stress-relieving activity. Because I have a carrying case, I find it hard to come up with an excuse not to bring my C2 with me. I’m the type of person that thinks the one time I don’t have my C2 on my side is probably the one time that an unleashed dog or even a coyote (yes, I live in the desert) will try to get too close for comfort.
