Becoming a parent is one of the most incredible experiences life has to offer. But along with the joy and excitement comes a deep sense of responsibility—especially when it comes to protecting your little ones. Suddenly, every choice you make must take into account your child’s safety. One of the biggest decisions you might face is how to protect your home and family without introducing unnecessary risks. For many moms, the idea of having a firearm in the house is simply out of the question. That’s where non-lethal defense tools comes in.

Why Non-Lethal Defense Appeals to Moms

Let’s be real for a moment. The world can be a scary place, and as a parent, the instinct to protect your child is overwhelming. But the idea of bringing a gun into your home? That’s a tough pill to swallow for a lot of families. The thought of something happening—whether it’s an accidental discharge or a curious child finding a firearm—can be terrifying. You want to be prepared, but you also want to keep your home as safe as possible.

HERO® non-lethal tools offer a solution to protect your family without the hazards of owning a gun. These devices are designed to incapacitate for up to an hour, without causing long term injury or death. So even an accidental discharge of a device in your home will have only temporary effects.

Protecting your family is about finding peace of mind, knowing you’re ready for anything without compromising the safety of your loved ones.

Compact, Concealable, Family-Friendly protection

HERO® is all about making safety accessible, effective, and family-friendly. Our products are designed with moms and their families in mind. They’re small, easy to conceal, and incredibly powerful—giving you the security you need without the risks that come with firearms.

HERO® 2020: Versatile and Reliable

HERO® 2020 is a versatile non-lethal device that’s ready for whatever comes your way. Whether you’re dealing with an unexpected visitor or facing danger outside the home, HERO® 2020 has you covered. 

Multiformat pre-built cartridges give you options to handle any situation. Choose from:

• PavaBall: Irritant filled rounds that burst into a cloud on impact, engulfing and disabling the target. 
• BluntForce: Hard polymer rounds that stop an attacker in their tracks with a painful punch of kinetic energy.

Both options let you defend your home effectively, without resorting to lethal force. With more projectile options in the works, HERO® 2020 is a powerhouse of evolving defense.

What makes HERO® 2020 especially great for moms is its design. It’s compact and easy to store, so you can keep it out of sight but still within easy reach. The easy-pull two-finger trigger and ambidextrous safety means even in a stressful situation, you can use it quickly and confidently.

It’s also equipped with a blinding stun light and laser sight that turn on automatically when the safety is turned off. So you can line up the target and dial in your aim, even in the dark.

AIIRO®: Discreet, Simple, and Always Ready

If you’re looking for something even more discreet, AIIRO® is a perfect choice. It’s about the size of a smartphone, making it easy to carry and conceal. But don’t let its small size fool you— AIIRO® is incredibly effective, thanks to its PavaGel irritant.

PavaGel is a thick, sticky substance that causes intense irritation when it comes into contact with the skin, eyes, and lungs, effectively incapacitating an attacker for up to an hour. This gives you and your family plenty of time to get to safety and call for help. AIIRO® is activated with just the press of a button—no complicated mechanisms, just straightforward, reliable protection.

Why HERO® Devices Are Perfect for Homes with Kids

Your top priority is keeping your children safe. HERO® offers a way to protect your family without the risks that come with having a gun in the house.

• Compact and Concealable: HERO® devices are small enough to safely stow away with the power to defend your home effectively. Get peace of mind knowing protection is there when you need it, without being obvious.
• Non-Lethal: Unlike firearms, HERO® devices are designed to incapacitate, not kill. This makes them a safer choice for homes with kids, where the goal is to protect your family without the potential for tragic accidents.
• Easy to Use: Both HERO® 2020 and AIIRO® are designed to be simple and intuitive. In a stressful situation, you don’t want to be fumbling with complicated mechanisms. HERO® products are straightforward and easy to use for people of all skill levels.
• Peace of Mind: Knowing you have a way to protect your family without the risks associated with firearms can give you the peace of mind you need to focus on what really matters—raising your children in a safe and loving environment.

The Science Behind HERO®: Nitrogen vs. CO2

While HERO® devices are small, they’re packed with advanced, patented technology. One design choice that sets HERO® apart is the use of nitrogen as a propellant instead of CO2.

• Consistency: Nitrogen is less affected by temperature changes than CO2, which means your HERO® will perform reliably whether it’s a hot summer day or a cold winter night. 
• Durability: Nitrogen cartridges are more durable than CO2, less prone to leakage or degradation over time.

Consistency and durability is key to ensuring your device works exactly as intended, every time. While the technical details might not be top of mind when you’re thinking about protecting your family, it’s reassuring to know every HERO® device is designed with your safety in mind.

The Responsible Choice: Non-Lethal Defense for Your Family

Choosing a non-lethal defense device to protect your loved ones is a big decision. With HERO®, you don’t have to compromise. You get powerful, effective protection that’s safe, user-friendly, and perfectly suited for families.
