The worst nightmare for me is, while I'm sleeping, someone coming in my home," [Dana Shafman] says, drawing a few solemn nods from the gathered women. Shafman, 34, of Phoenix, says she knows how they feel. She says she used to stash knives under her pillow for protection. On the coffee table, Shafman spreads out Taser's C2 "personal protector" weapons the company is marketing to the public. It doesn't take long before the women are lined up in the hallway, whooping as they take turns blasting at a metallic target. The company agrees. Taser officials like Shafman's homespun sales tactics so much they plan to build a living room set at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and have Shafman hold a Taser party for buyers and dealers. The CES, which runs from Jan. 7-10, i...

It is our assessment that Bill C-301 -- by softening controls on machine guns, by allowing the transport of fully automatic and semi-automatic assault weapons to civilian shooting ranges, by ending the registration of long guns such as rifles and shotguns (the weapons most often used in domestic homicides and suicides) and by relaxing the current restrictions on handguns, semi-automatic assault and tactical weapons -- would seriously compromise a system that is working to the betterment of personal, community and police officer safety," [Steven Chabot] continued. "All guns are potentially dangerous, all gun owners need to be licensed, all guns need to be registered and gun owners need to be accountable for their firearms. We oppose Bill C-301 as a retrogressive proposal that cannot, in...

The safest and most effective method of self-protection is a personal safety alarm. It can't be used against you like offensive weapons, requires no training or permits, and can be used by anyone regardless of physical condition or age. They're legal to carry anywhere (even on airplanes) and so simple to use. This tiny Austin House alarm has an easy rip-cord activation and a piercing sound that can even be used to ward off vicious dogs or wild animals.

They signified an increasing tendency among terrorist groups and insurgency movements throughout the world to employ females as today's "weapons of choice" in deadly suicide bombings. Since 1985, when the first female, a 17-year-old Lebanese girl, blew herself up, more than 250 women in such distant locations as Sri Lanka, India, Turkey, Russia/Chechnya, the Middle East, Afghanistan, and Iraq embarked on suicide missions. While it is true that personal grievances drive some women to involve themselves in suicide bombings, such scenarios do not account for all cases of female suicide terrorism. There is evidence to suggest that in many cases women's motivations and commitments are no less political than those of men. Yet, acknowledging that women and girls become human bombs in order to...

Canadian governments periodically find themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place on continental defence issues, facing pressure from the United States to support a controversial new initiative, and the expectation of substantial opposition at home. The conventional wisdom is that the decision to tilt one way or the other is ultimately a matter of political leadership. Bold and effective prime ministers are quick to say "yes" or "no" as they see fit. Weak prime ministers try to put off a decision, and ultimately cave in to public pressure in a way that aggravates the Americans. But a closer look suggests that the crucial factor might be the "solidity" of the prime minister's political footing. Delay, dissembling, and domestic grandstanding may be perfectly rational strategies for ...

It is often believed that any discharge is a negligent discharge, and in many situations that is the case, but, certainly, there are situations where it's not, but I'm not going to speculate on this point on what it may be," said [Mark Giles]. "Whilst pure accidental cases are rare, we're not going to rule it out as a possibility. We certainly realize that under stressful conditions, such as our troops are faced with in theatre, that that is a possibility. KANDAHAR, Afghanistan -- Military investigators are probing whether negligence is behind the shooting death of Master Cpl. Jeffrey Walsh with a Canadian weapon in a "dynamic and stressful" situation inside a crowded G-Wagon Wednesday but haven't ruled out the "rare" possibility of a "pure accident," a Forces spokesman said yesterday.
