    Tasers for her

    Now there are Tasers made just for women.

    A woman in Arizona loves the lady Tasers so much, she's started her own version of Tupperware parties involving the stun guns, reports the Arizona Republic. Hey, everybody, It's a Taser Party!

    Dana Shafman, founder of Shieldher Inc., has recently started sponsoring Taser parties, giving women a chance to buy Tasers for $300, or $350 with a laser beam to help with aiming.

    Shafman's parties allow women to get together to discuss concerns and learn about the Taser C2, the newest consumer Taser that is similar to the device police officers use. "I felt that we have Tupperware parties and candle parties to protect our food and house, so why not have a Taser party to learn how to protect our lives and bodies," Shafman said.

    She has had parties in Phoenix and Scottsdale by invitation. Guests have the opportunity to shoot the Taser for the first time at a cardboard cutout during the parties. For safety reasons, no alcohol is served and no one is actually Tasered.

    After her first Taser party in Scottsdale recently, Shafman said, "I think the party was spectacular. It opened up opportunities for people to ask questions and get informed about the Tasers." Debi McMahon was excited to get her Taser activated. "I feel like I'm 6 feet tall and 250 pounds. I'm going to buy one for my mom. It's going to be her 81st birthday present."
    Apparently, one concern among the women is that Tasers, which come in a variety of pretty colors, will be mistaken as toys by their children. Some women think the solution is tell their kids "telling their children what the Taser does and why it should be handled only by Mommy and Daddy."
