Taser's C2 now comes in sleek female friendly designs in hot pink and red -- even leopard print for fashion with a big bite.

"Yeah, I'm more comfortable holding it now that it's hot pink,” said college student Jayne Carothers.

"I like the ergonomic feel of it. I wouldn't have a problem carrying that,” said runner Cherie Kail.

Taser hopes more men will say "I love you" by buying their ladies some personal protection.

Forget the Tupperware parties. Instead of swapping recipes with their friends, more suburban housewives are taking aim at cardboard cutouts at neighborhood gatherings.

Many women afraid of carrying a gun, find it easier to shoot a stun gun. It may not be long before Taser parties arrive in the Ozarks.

"Sure, I'd go to see what it's all about,” said Kail.

"I'd want to hurt them -- and not kill them. And I just don't feel comfortable with guns, with my daughter around too,” said Deanna Richards.

We saw several women walking and running the Ozarks trails alone. Each one said they owned pepper spray but none of them had it on them.

The Taser C2 stun gun weighs about a half pound, less than a bottle of water. It has a laser for aim and a striking distance of 15 feet. A user only has to point and push a button to repel an attacker.

The shock can penetrate two inches of clothing. With the attacker temporarily paralyzed, a woman would have 30 seconds to get away.

"It would be similar to an electric fence, feeling the shock of an electric fence,” said Officer Chris Johns, an instructor on the use of electric stun guns for the Springfield Police Department.

"It confuses your muscles to where they can't work,” said Springfield Police Maj. Ron Hartman.

More Springfield patrol officers are armed with stun guns with a shooting distance of 25 feet but these only stun for five seconds to help an officer control a combative suspect.

Hartman says the use of stun guns when arresting an aggressive person has reduced injuries to officers and the number of times they draw their guns.

"The goal is to get every field officer a Taser,” said Hartman.

Last year, Springfield police used stun guns 83 times, compared to 69 times in 2006. Greene County sheriff’s deputies used stun guns 13 times in 2007, compared to 15 times the previous year.

"You also have less of a chance of hurting the person permanently; it’s a safe alternative to get away,” said walker Lisa Casullo. "I would never own a handgun. I would be much more likely to own this."

"I take night classes. A lot of girls take night classes. I think it's a good idea,” said Carothers.

Taser’s trendy new line also mixes music with security, with a holster that doubles as an MP3 player.

"Oh! Now I would go for that,” said Kail.
