Most of that popularity is to to the track record and that they have created with military and law enforcement use over the last10 to 15 years.

9.Like anything else in life the more you practice the better you are. I'll is recommend practicing with whatever self defense product you get. Practice does make perfect.
Follow these tips when you are considering buying a self defense product. There is thousands to choose from from hundreds of different suppliers. When are you getting some?
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.
