LOOK WHAT WE HAVE HERE!

A civilian version of Taser's self defense weapon.
This will guarantee your safety!





The C2 TASER is an electronic control device (ECD) that launches a pair of probes attached to 15′ wires that, once in contact with the target deliver 7 watts of electric pulse to incapacitate an attacker for up to 30 seconds per trigger button press (each power cell fuels approximately 50 cycles).




Key Benefits:
  • Knock an attacker out of commission and get away safely

  • Take a mugger down…from up to 15 feet

  • Use as a ‘stun gun’ without the cartridge or after the cartridge is fired

  • No license needed to carry openly or concealed

  • Compact enough to fit in your pocket

Taser:New Cop-Kit (Head -Cam's-AXON FLEX)


                          TASER HEAD CAM'S

Taser International Inc.’s Axon Flex Video System includes a small, cylindrical camera affixed to the side of a pair of glasses. The device stores hours of digital video from the perspective of a police officer. When docked to a computer, the unit can upload the data to a secure, subscription-based website called Evidence.com, where files can be tagged, viewed and shared.
While many companies are entering the market with new so-called on-body recording systems, Taser’s Axon Flex stands out for its performance, as well as its ability to improve police work by increasing transparency from the field, according to Scott Greenwood, a Civil rights anatomy who recently appeared in  promotional clip about the product.



“All of this is data that an officer is going to generate by wearing one of these systems is protected, can’t be manipulated, can’t be deleted intentionally by officers, and will be available for defense purposes, prosecuting attorneys, civil rights advocates and police command staff for oversight purposes, and that’s something that hasn't been available to any of us before,” he said in the video.








Taser expects to have some 3,000 of the Axon Flex units in the field by the end of the year.

!Facts About TASERS!

FACTS



1)Is a Taser considered a firearem? NO! In 1994 & 1998 The ATF stated Tasers are "non-firearms".
2) Is a Taser a lethal Weapon" NO! In fact it actually reduces injuries to subjects and victims by significat percentages. Also studies have show a Taser has the stopping power of a 9mm handgun, but with no injury.
3) Are Tasers dangersous to persons with pacmakers? NO! Both the human heart and pacemakers are able to withstand the power of a defbrillator that emits 300 joules of energy. A Taser emits less than one Joule of energy. These devices have been used over 1 million times without causing a single death.
4) Is it legal to carry a Taser? YES, but with some limitations. You can't carry on an airplane or take them into courtooms or some schools. If are over the age of 18 it can be legally carried in 43 States. You cannot carry a Taser in DC, HI, MA, MI, NJ, NY, RI or WI, as well as a few cities like Annapolis, Baltimore, chicago, and Philadelphia. Some restritions apply to CT and IL.
5) Is a Taser like shooting a gun? Not exactly. There is not a loud bang or "kick" or recoil. You will hear a loud pop like a balloon popping.
6) How does a Taser "shoot" the electric probes? It uses compressed inert nitrogen to launch the probes at approximately 100 MPH.

7) Is there a money back guarantee? YES, a 30-day money-back guarantee less shipping and handling on unactivated units. Once you've activated the Taser a refund is unable to be issued. The exception is if you use your Taser to protect yourself. For example, you are attacked, you use your taser then run away. Taser will replace your unit FREE.
8)Is there a warranty? YES! your safety is more important than money to Taser. Every Taser comes with a 90-day warranty that ensures your Taser is free of defects from the point of activation. You may also purchase a 1 or 3 year "no questions asked" warranty during the activation process that guarantees Taser International will repair or replace your Taser if it fails to function for any reason for the length of the warranty.
9) How far does a Taser shoot? 15 feet.
10)What kind of technology is used to make a Taser more effective than a stun gun? A stun gun is still good to have and it is less expensive. Plus a Taser can also be used as a stun gun. But a Taser uses EMD (Electro-Muscular Distruption). This technology is a type of pulse techology that penetrates 2" of clothing.
11) How does Taser International make sure criminals don't have Tasers? Once a Taser is shipped to you, you must call an 800 number or go online to activate the Taser. During this process there is $9.95 fee for a background check. If you come back clean, they give you a code to activate the Taser.
12) I've heard of something called AFIDs in Tasers. What is that? AFIDS stands for Anti-felon Identificaton Defense System. They are tiny pieces of confetti that shoot out from the Taser when it is fired. Police can collect this confetti, contact Taser, and find out who the Taser belongs too.

TASER Stuns Streets!

By David Urani
Taser (TASR) made a nice gain on Thursday after posting a Q1 earnings beat of $0.01 while also turning in revenue of $30.4 million, up 19% year over year vs. a $28 million consensus. Gross margin also improved to 61% from 59%. So it was a relatively solid result all around, driven with help from the next evolution of "smart" tasers that are more effective and safe due to their ability to adjust shock levels.
But, for me, the video and cloud business is the most compelling part as it's off to a good start and could become a big thing in law enforcement. The company introduced new AXON wearable video cameras in late 2011, along with a cloud storage network at Evidence.com. The cameras address the problem of $2.5 billion-plus annual police legal liabilities, while also holding police accountable as well. The cameras can be attached anywhere, such as on a pair of glasses, and at the end of the day the officer plugs the device into his or her computer and evidence is automatically uploaded to cloud storage.
More than 80% of police say there's a need for on-officer cameras. Also, departments need video storage and the cloud platform is easy to use on Evidence.com. In this day in age, the legal benefits are obvious for officer cameras. In a way, the bombings in Boston might have highlighted an increasing desire for surveillance, although that's not necessarily touted as a major benefit of the AXON system in particular.
Sales of TASR's video products were up 175% year over year in Q1, and bookings are up 394%. It still represented just 8% of sales at $2.4 million, but by 2017 the company sees it being 16%-34%. Other potential long-term drivers for TASR include weapon upgrades (by 2015 installed base five-plus years old will be up 48%) and international expansion, particularly in Latin America.
The biggest hang up for me is the valuation. TASR has a 28 forward P/E, although it's right in line with expected growth as its PEG is 1. The Street currently expects annual EPS growth of 30% over the next five years, which is roughly in the middle of TASR's 2017 guidance for $0.49-$1.10. TASR may be worth a look on any dips.

The Myth Of Taser Deaths

The Myth Of Taser Deaths


Tasers (a brand of stun gun) used by police have been wrongly blamed for some high profile deaths in recent years. However, subsequent investigations have shown that the deaths were mainly caused by outside influences and not the stun gun itself. Most of the individuals who died after contact with a stun gun were under the influence of mind-altering drugs like cocaine. According to research, the presence of cocaine in the bloodstream increases the “shock” from a stun gun by 50 to 100 percent.



Source: Ten researchers led by Dr D Lakkireddy from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio, and reported in the August 2006 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
So, it isn’t actually the stun gun, but the presence of “illegal” drugs that was the catalyst. Without the presence of drugs in their system, they would have experienced a mild shock. The charge generated from a stun gun alone cannot cause death. Two to five milliamps simply isn’t enough amperage to cause death to a human being. However, when that amperage is increased by outside influences, the stun gun, or the user can’t be blamed.
