A LETTER FROM DANA LEIGH SHAFMAN

As a young girl, I can remember my parents and teachers warning me about a man they called stranger danger. This man terrorized small children in and around the Scottsdale, Arizona area. We were taught to steer clear of any person that we did not know and open our door to only our parents and close family friends. Thankfully, I never encountered stranger danger but the message stayed with me.

As I grew older and left home for college, my parents once again reminded me of stranger danger by identifying the boys I did and would date as the new face of stranger danger. I continued to be cautious and even armed my bedroom with a wood bat in the event stranger danger made it into my college apartment. He never did but I became more aware of the nameless, faceless stranger danger through watching television and learning of all the assaults, rapes and murders that occurred in my state and the country as a whole.

As an adult, I was less concerned with my personal safety because I had more important things to worry about like earning a living and paying taxes. I became complacent because I thought that my alarm system and law enforcement would protect me. I believed that there was no need to worry!

At age 31, I experienced being stalked by a man that I had recently dated. My personal safety was in jeopardy and I began looking for something to make me feel safe inside and outside my home. My stalker left me alone after a while but I still felt vulnerable. That is when I decided to keep my sharp, barbeque knife under my pillow at night. I realize that this may seem like a crazy idea, but it was the only way I could feel safe at night alone in my home.

Three years later, I found a device that would not only make me feel safe inside and outside my home; but it would increase the quality of my life by pacifying my daily fears. The device that I found is the TASER C2! I take my TASER C2 with me to the grocery store, the gym, my business meetings and definitely secure it on my nightstand every night! I felt that if my TASER C2 could do that for me, I should share it with the women in my life. In fact, I decided to share it with ALL women. Shieldher Inc was born as a result of my mission!

I challenge each and every one of you to ask yourself the following question until you can come up with a suitable answer: HOW WILL YOU DEFEND YOURSELF IF FACED WITH AN ASSAULTER OR ATTACKER? My answer is easy, I took my personal safety into my own hands by purchasing a TASER C2. Don't you owe it to yourself to love yourself enough to protect you? I do!
