Stun devices are one of the category of nonlethal self defense products that provide an alternative to deadly force
. In general self defense products are only meant to give you time to get away get away from a dangerous situation and seek help-nothing else!
Stun guns, pepper sprays and tasers have been used by military and law enforcement officer's for decades with great success. They have made transformation into the civilian community, largely because they work and are inexpensive.
Stun guns got their start in the 1930s when some farmer thought of a way to move his cattle along and invented a cattle prod. They have come along way since then.
Stun devices rely on an electrical charge that is conducted through two prongs on the end of the device. The current from the electrical charge when applied for 3 to 5 seconds will cause an assailant to curl up into a ball. He really can't do anything else because the electrical charge depletes the body of blood sugars that are needed for energy. This gives you time to get away and seek help.
There is a new lipstick stun gun with flashlight on the market. It is 3 inches tall and three fourths of an inch in diameter making it the smallest stun gun compared to others. It is 950,000 volts and has one of the most popular features of all stun guns-the disable pin. This prevents the usage of this stun tool against you if it should be taken away. At $28.95 it is the cheapest stun guns you can get compared to others.
It is rechargeable and has a lifetime warranty. When are you getting one?
I always advise that if you feel threatened by an assailant point a charging stun gun at him and hold it up for the bad guys to see the flying current and hear the sounds. A 'back off' warning may scare him away when he sees what you have. From a distance the crackling noise alone and blue sparks that stun guns give off when activated may be enough to keep attackers at bay.
If you think crime can only happen to the other guy you are wrong. The "other guy" is thinking the same thing and to him you are that "other guy". There is a reason why they call it self defense. You have to protect yourself, your family, your home and business!!
Chances are if you are reading this that crime has touched your life in some way or you consider yourself at risk. Take the next step and do something to protect yourself! Your life and safety is worth far more than the cost of one of these.
If you are in the market for a self defense product look for quality, effectiveness, and a biggie-LEGALITY. Stun guns are not legal in some states. Check with your local police department first before you get one.
