Stun guns are effective self defense tools. They are non-lethal,
lightweight, about the size of a cell phone and do not require a license
to carry. Stun Guns are ideal for a woman or anyone concerned with being
physically overpowered by an attacker. That's why women are more likely to
purchase stun guns. As one of them said: "I feel confident having a stun gun with
me. I didn't want a gun but I wanted something - just in case."
Stun guns have changed since their introduction in the 1970s. New
innovations like the
Stun Master stun baton
lets you shock an assailant from a safer distance, and the
cell phone stun gun
lets you hide it in plain sight. You can buy cheap stun guns and feel confident
and secure knowing that you're protected.
You can also use a stun gun to protect yourself against dog attacks and
interestingly enough, there has been evidence that the electrical charge
from a stun gun can neutralize the venom of a poisonous snake or
spider bite when applied to the area bitten.
Place a stun gun in an accessible
place within your home, car or purse. Perfect to take with you on
camping, hiking or fishing trips. The built in belt clip makes it
convenient to carry when walking, jogging or bicycling and the wrist
strap makes it difficult for the attacker to take the stun gun away from
you.
How does a stun gun work?
The way
a stun gun works is by interrupting the communication signals from the
brain to the body. A stun gun does not harm a person permanently; it
only temporarily disrupts the way our body functions. A stun gun won't
cause damage in the long run because the electricity that it delivers
into a person's body is very high voltage but low amperage electrical
charge. In this way, the charge is not intense enough to cause any long
term damage to the person.
So when you press the stun gun against
a person and deliver the shock to them, a few things happen contributing
to their following [stunned] condition. The electric shock delivered by
the stun gun will combine with the electric signals from the brain and
this will confuse your body and make it hard to move. Another effect the
stun gun can have is causing a person to do excessive amounts of work
directed towards nothing in a particularly short period of time. This
will use all of the persons energy so that they will temporarily be
unable to do anything.
When triggered, the stun gun emits a
bright electrical blast that is quite intimidating and makes a very loud
popping noise that will attract the attention of anyone within earshot.
