The handbag sized gun comes in metallic pink, electric blue, titanium silver and black pearl and is designed to fit in a handbag and will cost Australians less than $450 online.
The sleek new C2 stun gun from Taser International is set to be a controversial device and has sparked widespread concern among law enforcement and human rights groups. Australians looking to buy one can either pick one up in the USA or buy it online at several US security product stores.
Police forces in the United States have been issued with Tasers since 1999 to subdue violent criminals. A pistol-like civilian version aimed at the self-defense market has been available since 1994.
But the new, lighter, brighter designer version, which was launched in late July with a price tag of around $350, is small enough to tuck into a purse and packs the same paralyzing punch.
