A Taser of Heroic Proportions
I was watching Heroes the other night on TV. If you have not
ever seen it, it is on Monday nights on NBC. It is a pretty
good show with the main premise of ordinary people who woke
up one morning with extraordinary powers, eventually leading
up to trying to save the world from an bomb that will
destroy New York City. As the tagline goes “Save the
Cheerleader. Save the World.” I have seen a number of the
episodes, but I have not followed it too closely.
This past week’s episode that I caught was about traveling
forward in time five years, showing what happened if the
bomb was not prevented in the present day. The episode was
packed full of the normal superhero action and excitement –
invisibility, flying, shapeshifting, psychokenisis, etc.
There was even a scene when Parkman pulls out a taser and
zaps Hiro unconscious. Of course, that scene was the one
that registered the most with me. Hey, I sell those, I
thought to myself. At the end of the episode, I turned to
my wife and said “Well, that was unrealistic.”
Taking the bait, she started to defend the show that she
loves by saying “What do you mean? They all have super
powers; it is part of the show…†I let her continue for a
moment before I cut her off and said “No, I meant the part
with the taser.” She stopped and waited for my
explanation. “If this episode was supposed to take place
five years in the future, there is no way Parkman would
still be carrying that old style taser, He’d at least have
been packing a C2!”
She just rolled her eyes and smiled. Obviously, NBC did not
do their research.

The TASER C2, expected release in June 2007, can stop a
threat up to 15 feet away, allowing you a safe distance to
protect yourself and family from an attacker. If a close
quarter defense is warranted, the C2 will also double as a
contact stun device as a powerful and unexpected backup
capability. TASER technology has proven itself as a safe
and effective choice of self-defense with well over 500,000
worldwide users, both civilian and law enforcement.
A TASER C2 can be conveniently discharged to work anywhere
on the body, and is able to pass current through 2 inches of
clothing. This makes the TASER C2 more effective
self-defense option by making it easier to stop a threat
under an already stressful situation. TASER devices have
been used effectively by law enforcement encounters by over
10,000 police agencies in over 4 countries, boasting a 95%
effective rating. TASER technology provides one of the only
non-lethal means of stopping an attacker dead in his tracks,
even if under the influence of drugs or alcohol. It even seems
to work on certain people with superhero powers.
It would be nice to believe that nothing will happen to you,
but the reality of it is that an ounce of protection could
be worth more than a pound of cure. What is Worth Protection
to you? Your belongings? Your family? Your personal
well-being?
Stay safe and be prepared!
Yours in Safety,
