Stun Guns-The Definitive Guide

Stun guns get a lot of attention in the press-some of it is even good! Self defense products like stun guns save lives. Just a fact!

They provide a non lethal alternative in self defense. Some people have a difficult time dealing with the moral issue of using a lethal weapon in defending themselves, family and property.

If you have made a conscious decision to get a stun gun that may be the easy part. Deciding on the right one can be confusing.

Stun guns and other non lethal self defense products have been used for decades by military and law enforcement personnel because they work so well. The track record proves it.

They are cost effective and easy to use.

An increase in crime over the years, improvements in the products, and widespread availability on the internet has all contributed to their increased popularity.

Crime is everywhere and it seems, at least listening to the talking heads on TV that it is getting worse. The police just can't do it all. Individuals must step up and assume more responsibility for their own self defense.

A stun gun like any self defense product is meant to give you time to get away from a dangerous situation-not to injure or maim-they just won't/can't do that.

However, you also need to be alert to your surroundings, stay out of dangerous places, and take appropriate action. Common sense should always prevail!!

Contributing to the confusion on which one to choose are literally hundreds of choices in stun guns from a dozen or so manufacturers. We carry one of the biggest selections of stun guns available on the internet.

A stun gun is a handheld device that has a trigger (button) and two or more metal prongs at the end of the unit that when activated sends an electrical charge of volts to the assailant causing disruption in the body's neurological impulses which makes the victim lose balance and become confused.

The energy stored in the gun is dumped into the attacker's muscles causing them to do a great deal of work rapidly. This makes the assailant unable to produce energy for his muscles and his body is unable to function properly. The assailant will be unable to move for about 3-10 minutes because his blood sugar is depleted. This allows the victim enough time to get away and get help.

If you can afford a more powerful stun gun get it. Why is power important? The higher the voltage the less time needed to be effective. If you are in an assault situation with a bad guy in your face a second can be an eternity.

Apply for one half second to startle an assailant and cause some pain. A 1-2 second application will cause muscle spasms and cause mental confusion. A 3-5 second application will cause loss of balance, loss of muscle control, total mental confusion and disorientation. Assailants have been known to curl up in the fetal position with a 5 second application.

In all fairness if an assailant is on drugs or is drunk a stun gun may not work. They do not rely on pain for results. Stun guns are on average 86% effective.

The best places to apply are the upper shoulder, lower rib cage, and upper hip on either right or left side-SIX TARGETS in all.

Some stun guns can be disguised as flash lights or cell phones making them particularly effective

Stun guns must be applied to the attacker but will go thru up to one half inch of clothing.

Stun guns use at least one 9 Volt battery as the energy source. They use high voltage and low amperage to disable attackers.

Stun guns come in a wide variety of sizes from models that are smaller than the palm of your hand making them easy to carry and easy to conceal to a huge 9" tall model perfect for bouncers and security guards.

The most powerful stun guns are more expensive to be sure. But look we are talking about your self defense here and possibly that of your family-your lives may be at risk!

I know of no stun gun that sells for more than $100.00 anyhow. Discounts are almost always available. Most, if not all, have lifetime warranties.

If you feel threatened by an assailant charge the stun gun and hold it up for the bad guys to see the flying current and hear the sounds. Sometimes with a "back off" warning, the sight and sound of a charging stun gun is enough for the bad guys to leave you alone.

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.
