Taser X26C ($1,000 @ Amazon.com)
It’s lighter than it looks but far more badass that you’d think — and we thought it was so badass we peed ourselves just thinking about getting blasted with it. It comes with one soft holster and six cartridges that fire two darts that attach to the assailant and provide a 30-second surge that renders him/her useless. The wires on the darts reach 15 feet and the company promises that a direct hit will create incapacitation. Even better, a performed by Wake Forrest University found that in 1,201 cases, 99.75 percent of people tased had no significant injuries. Why is that good for you? That means if you’re forced to use the X26c and it does its job, bodily harm is one less thing you can get sued for if the idiot who attacked you tries to get Johnny Law on his side.
