SAFETY FIRST?

We suppose even those who carry self-defense items have to market themselves, and the good folks at Self Defense Products Florida make a strong case for their line. They sent us a release with the headline, “The New C2 TASER—Why Women and Men Love This Taser.” The pitch goes on to explain that it packs 50,000 volts, can be used from 15 feet away, and even comes with an optional laser light to “provide precision accuracy.” And to broaden its appeal further, it’s “…Available in Four Colors—Pink, Black, Silver and Blue!” (To coordinate with your outfit?) But the deal-killer (For us, anyway; we’re cheap.) is the $349.95 price tag. It’s 50 bucks less without the laser, but what’s the fun in that?
