If you had a fear of these devices before reading this then you shouldn't any longer. Also, if you're looking to purchase one for defensive purposes, I would keep that little tip to myself. You can let others fear your personal protector. Your next decision in owning one is which model to purchase. There are many different sizes, styles, colors, and voltages available. The answer is: whichever one fits you the best.
You may want a smaller one because you have small hands. You may want a larger one such as a stun baton because you work security at a nightclub. A cell phone or lipstick is perfect if you want to conceal the device.
Any voltage is enough to bring someone down when used in the right areas. Ok, your fear of stun guns is gone and you've chosen the perfect model for you or your loved one. How are you going to defend yourself if you are attacked? Lesson One: have the weapon out and in your hand in any situation where you could be an easy target. I'm not saying to walk around Wal-Mart with a stun gun in your hand while you shop, but criminals look for easy targets or opportunities.
If you're walking through the mall parking lot, a parking garage or alone, in general, you're a pretty easy target. If you're walking in these same areas with a weapon in your hand, the criminal is going to find someone else. Nobody wants a huge scene when they're trying to rob, attack or rape you.
Lesson Two: if you are attacked, pick a large muscle group to stun. The chest, the stomach, obviously the groin, the thighs, and the back are ideal places to stun an attacker. These large muscle groups will bring down an attacker very quickly.
Now, you don't have all day to make a decision, so if the face or neck is the closest body part you can reach, well, then it's just not his lucky day. Also, the longer you hold it on someone, the longer and more effective the stunning will be. One to two seconds will get their attention. Three to five seconds will get their attention, most likely drop them to the ground and leave them confused. Lesson Three: take quick but detailed mental notes of the attacker and then RUN! Go get help immediately.
If you've stunned the guy long enough to drop him to the ground, chances are it'll take some time for him to run off. And even if he does, you should have some details to give to the police. Oh and be sure to even call the police. Some people figure that if the guy runs off, it's too late. It's not.
The guy with a few screws loose that just attacked you will do it again. And if you don't report it, then we can't warn others.
And the next person may not be as prepared as you. I hope this article was helpful to you and be sure to pass it on to others. The more people we can empower, then maybe the safer our world will become. By merely applying the unit to an attacker they are immobilized for up to several minutes with no permanent damage. Stun guns do not rely on high amperage for results. They are designed to key into the nervous system, interrupting tiny neurological impulses that travel through the whole body as well as instantly burning blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid similar to that of extremely vigorous exercise.
Attacker's neuromuscular system is overwhelmed and controlled by the EID, disorientation, and loss of balance occur and direct voluntary muscle movement is lost. Should you make contact with the body of the attacker, no current will pass through your system.

Call us at 1 Stun Gun Laws and Permit Requirements. Regulations on stun guns and Tasers are inconsistent across the United States, but courts have struck down complete bans on consumer possession or carrying of these weapons.
What Are Stun Guns and Tasers? How Do They Work? There are basically two different types of hand-held devices for consumer use that temporarily stun or incapacitate the target with an electrical charge: Stun guns administer an electric shock on direct contact. When a stun gun is activated usually by pulling a trigger , electricity passes between two metal prongs at the end of the weapon. A painful shock is delivered when these electrified prongs touch the target.
The shock can stun and perhaps even incapacitate the target briefly. Tasers are pistol-type devices that shoot a small darts or probes attached to thin, flexible wires. When the darts hit the target, electricity is delivered through the wires. Electric pulses pass between the probes, which incapacitate the target by disrupting the neuromuscular system. Once the probes are in place, the person with the Taser can deliver multiple cycles of electricity.
Consumer models of Tasers can hit the target from up to 15 feet. A Stun Gun By Any Other Name State and local laws may use other terms for electronic incapacitation devices, including electronic stun weapons, electronic control devices, remote stun guns, and electric guns. It sometimes takes a decision by an appellate court, or an opinion by a state attorney general, to settle the question of whether stun guns or Tasers are included in various classifications of weapons, including: Weapons and defensive weapons.
States whose regulations refer to "any weapon" will usually apply to stun guns and Tasers. Projectile devices. Some gun regulations apply to devices that fire a projectile device, which could cover Tasers but not direct-contact stun guns. Weapons that can cause death, serious injury, or extreme pain. In states that define dangerous weapons as causing extreme pain, stun guns and Tasers could be included. Weapons capable, readily capable, or likely to cause death or serious injury; deadly weapons; unspecified dangerous or offensive weapons.
Stun guns and Tasers are promoted as "less-lethal" weapons than guns, but that doesn't mean that they can't cause injury or even death in some cases. Don't worry, the damage is only temporary. Brain function returns to normal after about 1 hour. Luckily, your body bounces back much faster. Correction: This video originally said that stun guns shock a person with 50, volts of electricity. We have corrected the video, stating that the shock is more similar to that of an electric fence.
