Stun Guns And Tasers-making Electricity Work For You
A very useful tool in self defense is a stun gun
. A stun gun is designed to deliver an electrical shock to your assailant in order to temporarily disable him/her allowing you to get away and get help.
The body is powered by electrical currents that are caused by the various chemicals in our central nervous system. These chemicals tell certain parts of your body when to start and when to stop an action.
A stun gun temporarily disrupts these signals, making the part of the body where the weapon has made contact unable to perform simple tasks.
Stun guns are portable, most being about the size of a flashlight, and usually run off a 9-volt battery. They are versatile and can be applied almost anywhere on the body to deliver the desired result-which is incapacitation of your attacker so you can get away.
Stun guns work on almost everyone-even those who are under the influence. You need to be aware, however, that each persons reaction is different. What may incapacitate one may not another. Also, most stun guns are designed to be used in very close proximity to your attacker.
One type of stun weapon that can be used at a distance is a Taser. A Taser delivers the electrical current through the use of probes that are embedded in the skin. This allows you to deliver a series of electrical currents to your attacker in order to incapacitate him/her until help arrives.
Stun guns and Tasers are tools you can use for the defense of yourself and your family. They are proven to be a safe and effective self-defense weapon that causes no permanent damage.
