Recently, the folks over at Taser released the civilian-marketed C2.  This was great news, as the C2 is a stripped down version of the unit carried by most law-enforcement agencies.  What caught my eye, however, was the newest add-on to this toy, ahem, device.  As seen here, Taser has designed the MPH (Music Player Holster) to clip onto your belt.  It sports 1 gig of memory, while comfortably holding your personal protection device.  At $379-$449, depending upon options and colors ( the C2 comes in multiple colors, including my personal favorite, leopard spots), it makes for an expensive way to enjoy your music.  Yet the level of personal protection the C2 guarantees may make it worth it to you. 

For some of the capabilities of the C2, there is this from Engadget:

"It fires a pair of probes into a target, presumably someone who’s attacking you, from up to 15 ft. away. If the probes get within two inches of your skin (they don’t have to penetrate skin, but they can, as I found out), they complete a circuit and deliver 30 seconds of muscle-clenching incapacitation. The C2 fires once per cartridge, so Taser recommends putting it down and running like hell while your target twitches away."

And take it from someone who has been Tasered in the past….It is no laughing matter.  At least, that is what the rest of the guys told me (after they stopped laughing!)
