Living in the city is exciting, vibrant, and full of opportunities, but it also comes with unique challenges, especially when it comes to personal safety. Whether you’re navigating crowded streets, riding public transportation, or simply living in a bustling neighborhood, taking charge of your safety is a priority. For those living in urban areas—particularly in places where gun laws are strict—finding an effective, non-lethal way to protect yourself is essential. That’s where HERO® non-lethal defense devices come in, offering a compact and legal solution for city dwellers looking to stay safe.

The Realities of Urban Living

Cities are alive with activity, but they can also be unpredictable. With the constant movement of people, the close quarters of public spaces, and the potential for unexpected encounters, it’s important to have a plan for your personal safety. The challenges of city living are different from those in rural or suburban areas, and require a different approach to self-defense.

In many urban areas, carrying a firearm is either heavily restricted or simply not an option. This can leave residents feeling vulnerable. HERO® devices like the HERO® 2020 and AIIRO® are designed to fill this gap, offering an effective way to defend yourself without the complications of carrying a gun.

Why Non-Lethal Defense Is Perfect for City Dwellers

Non-lethal defense tools provide a way to protect yourself in dangerous situations without the risks and responsibilities associated with firearms.

Legal and Effective Protection

One of the key benefits of HERO® devices is they are legal across the country, including in cities with stringent regulations on firearms. You can carry a HERO® device legally, confident you’re within the law and have a reliable means of protection.

Discreet and Portable

City life is fast-paced, you need a defense tool to fit the lifestyle. HERO® devices are small, lightweight, and easy to carry, so you can easily take it wherever you go. Whether you’re commuting to work, heading out for a night on the town, or just running errands, HERO® devices fit seamlessly into your life.

HERO® 2020: Versatile Urban Defense

HERO® 2020 is a versatile non-lethal defense device that’s perfect for urban residents. Its multi-functionality makes it ideal for a range of situations you might encounter in the city.

Multi-Format Defense

Equipped with pre-built, quick swap cartridges, HERO® 2020 can fire both multiple types of ammo, giving you the flexibility to choose the best option for the situation. PavaBall is designed to incapacitate an attacker with a powerful irritant, while BluntForce delivers a painful kinetic punch to stop attackers. This adaptability is crucial in a city environment, where you might face different types of threats on any given day.

Quick and Easy to Use

In an urban setting, things can change in an instant. HERO® 2020 is designed for quick deployment, so you can respond to threats as they arise. Just point with your finger and pull the trigger—the device’s ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hold, and its lightweight build ensures you can carry it all day without any trouble.

Effortless Reloading

Reloading a defense tool can be challenging, especially in the middle of a tense situation. HERO® 2020 uses a pre-built cartridge system that allows for quick and easy reloading, so you’re never left vulnerable. Press a liver to swap out the cartridge, and you’re ready to go again.

AIIRO®: Compact Protection for On-the-Go Safety

If you prefer a smaller, more discreet option, AIIRO® is an excellent choice for city dwellers. This compact device is designed for those who need a portable defense tool that’s easy to carry and quick to use.

Simple Thumb-Activated Defense

AIIRO® is incredibly easy to use, even in high-stress situations. Just point with your thumb, press the button, and the device fires PavaGel, a sticky substance that incapacitates an attacker for up to an hour. This simplicity makes AIIRO® ideal for those who may not have experience with self-defense tools or firearms.

Perfect for Everyday Carry

AIIRO® is small enough to fit in your pocket, purse, or even the palm of your hand, making it a convenient option for everyday carry. Whether you’re walking to your car, taking the subway, or just moving through the city, AIIRO® is always within reach, ready to provide protection when you need it.

The HERO® Difference

HERO® devices are built with the latest patented technology to ensure they perform reliably in any situation. One of the key features is the use of nitrogen as a propellant, which is more stable than C02 across temperature changes. You can rely on your HERO® device to work consistently whether you’re in the heat of summer or the cold of winter. This reliability is crucial in a city environment, where conditions can change rapidly.

Confidence Through Training

Defense tools are only effective if you know how to use them. That’s why HERO® provides the following items with every device bundle:

• Printed user guide
• Free online video training 
• Paper target
• Training cartridges

The fast pace of city life demands you’re ready to react at a moment’s notice. Practicing with your device ensures when danger arises, you know exactly how to use your device to protect yourself and the ones you love.
