Store hours extend late into the night during the holiday season
and many consumers will be walking through parking lots later in
the evening. With these new holiday shopping safety tips, TASER
Self-Defense and Krav Maga Worldwide aim to equip consumers with
tools to be as safe as possible:
Tips to Shop Safely
- Consider where you park – Park in a well-lit area
or near the entrance of your location. Snap a picture or make a
note of your floor and spot so that there's no confusion when you
are returning to your car.
- Stash the cash at home – Pick-pocketers are on the
lookout more than normal on Black Friday and you don't want to be
an obvious target. Keep cash in a zippered pocket in a hard to
reach area of your body or opt to use a credit card if
possible.
- Lighten your load – Avoid overloading yourself with
packages. It's important to be able to see where you're going. If
you must leave packages in your car, lock them in the trunk.
- Stay alert – Be aware of your surroundings and make
sure you don't have any unwanted passengers hanging out around your
car before heading home.
- Prevent home delivery problems - If you are doing your
holiday shopping online, take steps to make sure deliveries don't
pile up outside your front door. Unattended packages are easy
targets for thieves. If possible, try to schedule deliveries for
days and times that you or a neighbor will be home or close by.
It's always a good idea to have home security measures in place,
like fences or cameras, that can be deterrents to people looking to
snatch packages.
- Protect yourself – Purchase a personal safety
device and invest time into your safety plan. Attend courses
at a certified Krav Maga Worldwide training center to learn
practical self-defense in real-world situations. Stun guns or TASER
devices can help you feel confident, empowered and protected. These
devices can fit inside a purse, bag or backpack and help keep you
prepared.
"Krav Maga Worldwide training makes people safer and stronger so
that they can feel secure with who they are and walk in peace with
dignity, with confidence, and with security," says Krav Maga
Worldwide Chief Instructor Darren Levine. "This is a busy time of
year, and we want everyone to use practical self-defense knowledge
and increase their situational awareness to stay out of harm's
way."
"Our company was founded with the mission to protect life," says
Mike Rennie, Senior Manager of
Consumer Operations, TASER Self-Defense. "We are committed not only
to offering effective, easy-to-use personal self-defense products,
but also educating consumers on ways to help protect themselves and
avoid dangerous situations."
Holiday gift bundle options available now through TASER
Self-Defense include:
The Pulse+ Starter Bundle ($499)
This all-in-one kit includes
everything consumers need to get comfortable with a new TASER
device including a Pulse+ device, holster and extra cartridges. The
Pulse+ is an advanced, less-lethal, high-tech defense device that
integrates with Noonlight, a personal emergency platform and mobile
application. When the trigger is pulled, emergency services are
notified of the device location. The Pulse+ weighs only eight
ounces and has the ability to target assailants up to 15 feet
away.
The StrikeLight Family Pack – 3 Devices ($270)
This bundle allows consumers to
equip family members with a powerful stun flashlight. Shoppers may
also choose to keep one in the car, by the bed or in a work bag.
Combining the usefulness of a high-intensity flashlight with the
protection of a stun gun, the StrikeLight is designed for
convenience and protection in everyday situations. This stun
flashlight makes the perfect addition to a car glovebox or as a
discreet self-protection tool on a late-night commute.
The StrikeLight Bundle ($139)
This bundle includes one
StrikeLight for close range protection in addition to other TASER
merchandise such as branded socks, a beanie hat, a safety light and
a TASER weapon sticker.
The Training Bundle ($99)
The Training Bundle is for
TASER-device owners to re-stock and brush up on their practice. It
includes two TASER Pulse+ cartridges, one holster, one
non-conductive target, one pair of safety goggles and the training
handbook.
TASER Self-Defense and Krav Maga Academy Training Course
($29.99)
TASER Self-Defense
and Krav Maga Worldwide partnered to develop a 5-course online
self-defense curriculum. Designed for adults of all ages and
abilities, learn defense techniques designed to enhance safety in a
variety of real-world situations.

states, are permitted without restrictions. This color-coded map
