What about Stun Guns


There are a variety of less-lethal self defense weapons; self defensive sprays, stun guns, TASER products on the market today.  It’s just a matter of which one you want for your personal protection. 

On average in the US there are around 13 million individuals who become victims of some sort of crime annually.  Of that an approximate number of violent crimes come in at 1.5 million.   Police departments across the country cannot always be relied upon to protect us.  With that being said there are alternative methods and one of them is the stun gun. 

You can certainly choose to carry a handgun; this form of weaponry will definitely stop an attacker with a possible severe outcome such as death.  By utilizing this method of defense you are opening yourself up to being charged with murder or manslaughter.  I would believe that the majority of us would not want to be charged with such a crime even though we were defending ourselves.  Many choose to carry firearms and that’s a personal choice, however it may not be for everyone. 

With that being said the alternate less-lethal method of protection sounds like a better choice. 

A stun gun is a battery powered hand-held device that delivers an electrical charge into the recipient receiving the stunning.  This device has two prongs at its end.  By stunning an attacker with the prongs while you pull the trigger sends enough of an electrical charge to the attacker's body.

By doing so, it will swiftly immobilize an attacker.  It causes extreme pain and total loss of muscle control which in return causes the attacker inability to move.  This doesn’t cause permanent damage as the amperage level in stun guns is very low and not enough to kill.  The attacker will find themselves useless for approximately 15 minutes.  This affords you enough time to get to safety. 

Law enforcement and security agencies world-wide use stun guns daily.  This allows apprehension of suspects without causing possible deaths.  Most stun devices operate on batteries; however there are some varieties on the market that allow recharging like you would a cell phone.  The voltage levels range anywhere from 50,000 volts upwards of 4.5 million volts.

The stun gun uses high voltage and low amperage to affect the muscular and neural systems of the body.  Stun guns do not depend on high amperage in order to perform, rather milli-amps.  By stunning someone for one to two seconds it will cause severe pain, muscle spasms and mentally dazed, this may be enough to take them down to the ground.  By stunning for 3 seconds or more it will also cause severe pain, balance and muscle control loss as well as disorientation and mental confusion.  This should take the attacker down to the ground.  

When choosing a stun gun make sure you investigate which one is right for you.  Remember voltage doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll work any less or better.  The one thing you may want to keep in mind however is that the higher the voltage level the less time it will take to drop an attacker down.
