Stun Guns Info

Police departments all over the world use them. Military forces throughout the world use them too. Millions of civilians around the world use them as well. Why shouldn’t you? What are we talking about?

We are taking about the array of non-lethal weapons like stun guns, tasers, pepper sprays, et. al. of course.

These self defense products give the users a viable alternative to a deadly outcome in any kind of a confrontation. In the case of police, over 11,000 U.S. police agencies have come to the conclusion that the taser for example gives them one more alternative in the continuum of force response to a legal and lawful order.

In the case of individuals who choose a non-lethal self defense product they have made a conscious decision to avoid the use of deadly force and at least like the police give themselves one more alternative to it. Some do it for religious reasons some for other reasons but no matter.

The fact is that no matter what the reason for using these products to protect and defend themselves from the bad guys that would do them harm-the products WORK.

Their purpose is simple: to allow the victim to escape a potentially deadly situation and seek help. They all perform this function very well.

A short spritz of OC pepper spray in an assailant’s eyes may give you up to 15-20 minutes to get away. A 2 second shot from a stun gun will incapacitate an assailant for 5-10 minutes. The taser has nearly 100% stopping power and will allow you plenty of time to seek help.

The point is they all work at doing their job with non lethal results. Non-lethal self defense products have become the choice for millions of citizens and military and police agencies around the world.

Many people choose to exercise outdoors to keep in shape. Due to time restraints in this hectic world, a walker, jogger, runner or even a hiker will follow a daily routine. They exercise at the same time every day, they follow the same path to and from their home, and most of the time will exercise alone. This is a great opportunity for an attacker.

The recent murder of Meredith Emerson, a hiker in Georgia, is yet another example of a victim that was enjoying the outdoors while hiking. More often than not, most women and men do not carry any type of self-defense. They are so focused on their exercise routine and perhaps thinking of what the day has in store for them, that they overlook the possibility of an assault.

It is very important that you carry some type of self-defense with you just in case you happen to find yourself in an uncomfortable or compromising situation.

Pepper spray or Mace is one of the most common self-defense products being used today. It is lightweight and easy to carry. Most pepper sprays or Mace have a belt clip or keychain attachment.

There is even Dog Repellent pepper spray for those all too common stray dogs. This is very convenient when you are on the go. While hiking, if you are in Bear country, you might even consider carrying Bear Repellent pepper spray in your backpack.

While power walking, a great product to carry is the Mace Brand Hot Walkers Pepper Spray Walking Weights. The Hot Walkers are 1-pound Walking Weights with built-in pepper spray. They have elastic hand straps for support and a storage compartment for keys and money.

A stun gun is also an option. There are many different sizes and voltages of stun guns. Some are no bigger than the palm of your hand. And there are other stun devices that are disguised to look like a pager or cell phone.

For hikers, there is also a real handy non-lethal, self-defense product that is convenient to have if you are going to camp out during the night. The Stun Alarm Flashlight, which has a flashlight and a personal alarm. It is a stun gun, alarm, and flashlight all in one unit.

And yet, there is another option. There is the newest and most popular self-defense product on the market today, the Taser C2. It is lightweight, easy to use and easy to carry.

So, don’t just keep your body in shape, keep yourself safe. Prevention is the key. Always be prepared and protect yourself from harm. Do not become another victim of crime.

In the world of self defense products, products that stun an attacker, such as stun guns and stun batons, are popular. The reason for their popularity is twofold. First, it does not take must practice or skill to learn how to use one of these personal protection devices. Second, they do not permanently injure the attacker. Instead, they render him unable to function for a short period of time, long enough for the person using them to escape.

There are certain benefits to using stun batons over stun guns. Stun guns have problems with range. The traditional model can only be used in close proximity to the attacker. Sometimes if you are close enough to the attacker to use a stun gun, your attacker may be able to disarm you. Stun guns that propel their charges, such as tasers, can only be used once, so if you miss, you will not be protected. Stun batons, on the other hand, increase the range in which you can use them. Since they have a longer reach, you do not have to be as close to your attacker as you would need to be to use a traditional stun gun. Also, these self defense weapons can be used more than once.

However, a stun baton can be cumbersome to carry as a self defense product. A newer type of stunning device that has developed a way around this problem is a telescopic stun baton. When not in use, it is about the size of a flashlight. In fact, many models have a flashlight mounted to the top of them and are around a foot long when they are not in use. However, when you face an attack situation, you can quickly extend the stun baton to its full length, which is typically over 20 inches. This gives you enough room that you can put some space between you and your attacker, while still delivering the stun and disarming the attacker long enough to escape. The whole metal arm is electrified, which means that the attacker will be stunned if he tries to grab the device.

Another benefit of these products is the fact that they usually come with an alarm. With a stun alarm baton, you can alert others to your danger with the push of a button. Often sounding an alarm is all that is needed to scare away an attacker. If nothing else it will help those in the vicinity find you if you are in danger.

Perhaps you are wondering if these products are difficult to use. Rest assured that you will have no trouble learning how to use a telescopic stun baton. They come with a holder that you can clip to your belt, and if you are attacked, you simply have to push one button to extend and charge the stun baton. If you purchase a stun alarm baton, one button is all it takes to sound the alarm. When the attack is over and you are safe, one button retracts the device so you can put it back in its holder. It can be used again as long as the batteries stay charged.

If you are frequently in situations where you feel that you are in danger, consider investing some money in good self defense products like telescopic stun batons or stun alarm batons. Not only will it provide you with peace of mind, but you will also have invaluable tools to use if you are someday attacked. While we hope never to have to use self defense products, having them on hand could mean the difference between life and death in an attack situation.

Maybe you prefer the larger and more powerful telescopic stun baton. Check out our other models of stun batons.

Self defense products like stun guns have quietly crept into the mainstream of society. Twenty years ago they were the material for science fiction books and comics. Nowadays they are everywhere.

They have been used effectively for years by military and law enforcement agencies world wide so we know how effective they are. They are easy to use, cost effective and many can be disguised making them very useful in self defense.

That in a nutshell is why cell phone stun guns have outsold all other self defense weapons.

They have the power from 700,000 volts to 950,000 volts depending on model. They all look like cell phones which gives the user the advantage of surprise in an assault. They all have lifetime warranties. One model even has a disable pin which makes the stun gun unusable if it is disconnected.

These popular women’s self defense tools have different features like an alarm and a light depending on manufacturer which enhances their use in self defense.

It really pays to learn how stun guns work and how to use them. That knowledge alone will boost your self confidence. Learn the optimum application points and run thru scenarios in your mind or with a friend so when the time comes to use your stun gun you won’t hesitate.

I advise people to warn the would-be attacker by holding up a charging stun gun and yelling ‘back off.’ Sometimes the sight and sound of a charging stun gun is enough to scare off the bad guys.

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.

There are literally thousands of self defense products on the market today from stun guns, personal alarms, pepper spray and more. This new multi function stun gun may very well be the best of them all. To be honest price should be your last consideration when choosing a stun gun. After all we are talking about your self defense here-your life.

As with all self defense products they are only meant to allow you enough time to get away from a dangerous situation and seek help. They are not meant to injure or maim anyone. This self defense weapon has the best features from several earlier models all rolled into one. First of all it is the most powerful stun gun in the market at 2.7 million volts-enough to fry anyone’s **** that would do you harm. It is rechargeable too which over the course of a lifetime will save you money.

And speaking of lifetime, did I mention this and all Stun Master stun guns have lifetime warranties? How strong is that?

The most popular feature for many in a stun gun is the alarm with disable pin wrist strap. If an assailant tries to take the stun gun from you an alarm goes off and the stun gun is disabled. The pin is disconnected from the gun making it impossible to use against you. Consumers love this feature.

It is a very small 4.75″ x 2.5″ x 1″ and comes with free nylon holster. It has a super bright LED flashlight and a red flashing emergency light too.

My guess is this new self defense products will set the standard for years to come on price and features that quite frankly are unmatched in the business of self defense.

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.

A woman is attacked every three minutes. How can we as women stop this or prevent this from happening? Crime is on the rise and we do not believe this will stop anytime in the near future. However, prevention is key. We do not mean that you should stay in the house, lock the doors and never come out. We mean take precautions, always be aware of your surroundings and carry some kind of self-defense product. We **** to admit it but most men are physically stronger than women. Lets talk about carrying a stun gun. A stun gun is a non-lethal self-defense product used by millions of people today.

A stun gun is an electrical self-defense device that uses high voltage to stop an attacker. Touching a person with the prongs of the stun gun quickly immobilizes the attacker. However, because the amperage is very low, no serious or permanent injury is inflicted.

The stun gun is designed to key into the nervous system. It dumps its energy into the muscles at a high pulse frequency that makes the muscles work very rapidly, but not efficiently. This rapid work cycle depletes blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid all in just seconds. The resulting energy loss makes it difficult to move and function. At the same time, the tiny neurological impulses that travel throughout the body to direct muscle movement are interrupted. This causes disorientation and loss of balance and leaves the attacker in a passive and confused condition for several minutes. Still, there is no significant effect on the heart or other vital organs.

As a general rule, a one-half second contact can repel and startle the attacker, producing some pain and muscle contraction. One to two seconds can cause muscle spasms and a dazed mental state. Over three seconds can cause loss of balance and muscle control, mental confusion and disorientation. You have to realize that 3 seconds is quite a long time when in a physical struggle. Every person is different and will react differently to the effects of a stun gun. What may put one person down in 3 seconds could take 5 seconds on another person.

The electrical shock that emits from the unit will not pass from the person being stunned to the person doing the stunning. The effect is localized only in the affected area and does not pass through the body. Even if you or the attacker is wet or standing in water, you will not get shocked. Stun Guns are non-lethal self-defense products.

So there we have it. A stun gun is easy to use. They are relatively inexpensive and they could save your life. Stun Guns come in various sizes and voltages.

Many people choose to exercise outdoors to keep in shape. Due to time restraints in this hectic world, a walker, jogger, runner or even a hiker will follow a daily routine. They exercise at the same time every day, they follow the same path to and from their home, and most of the time will exercise alone. This is a great opportunity for an attacker.

As personal protection products slip into the main steam of society more of them come into the marketplace. Thus it is becoming more difficult and confusing to pick which one or ones are best for you. Here is some biased information on stun batons: how they work and what they can do for you.

 

HOW THEY WORK

Stun guns effectively incapacitate targets by sending a high voltage and low amperage charge of electricity to the nervous system. This causes a disruption in the body’s neurological impulses which control muscle movement causing the victim to lose balance.

 

They also cause temporary partial paralysis and use up the body’s system of blood sugar (energy) making the body too weak to move. They cause no long term damage. The effects are temporary. They do not rely on pain for results.

 

WHO CAN USE THEM

Stun batons or stun guns have been used by police agencies and military units throughout the world for decades. Nowadays as they become more commonplace people are carrying them just for their own safety. I have often counseled that the site and sound of a stun gun’s charge might be enough to deter an assailant. If not, then a 3-5 second dose of 700,000 volts will be enough for most people to escape the situation they are in.

 

Because of its power and extended reach(up to 20″), stun batons are a favorite with security guards. Simply touch an assailant with the baton and pull the trigger: three to five seconds will leave the assailant dazed and temporarily paralyzed. The baton will also deliver a shock when touched six inches from the tip, to prevent an assailant from grabbing it and taking it away.

There are a lot of choices in self defense products today. Police agencies the world over use many of them. Why shouldn’t you? 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. The Stun Master Stun Baton is one of the best.

Self defense products have become all the rage these days with stun guns, pepper sprays, tasers and personal alarms helping folks save lives and prevent disaster. Police agencies and military units worldwide have been using them for years because they are so effective.

 

Every once in a while a new idea comes along that really rocks. This dynamic product comes shaped like a squared off horseshoe. The rubber coated soft contour grip is easy to hold and hang onto and is made of soft rubber. It assures full control. But the name says it all-double trouble stun gun.

 

Most stun guns have about 1.5 inches between contacts. The Double Trouble has nearly 5 inches which is what makes it so effective and unique-like two stun guns in one. Each side has 600,000 volts making it doubly effective and double trouble with double the stopping power at 1.2 million volts. The bad guys won’t know what hit them.

 

This self defense product has a safety switch on top with a red LED on/off indicator to let you know if the unit is ready to fire and melt your assailant into silly putty.

 

The Double Trouble Stun Gun comes with 2 CR 123A batteries a hand strap and a FREE Nylon carrying case and belt clip-a $15.00 value. This great tool is only 6″ long and weighs in at 6.9 oz making it ideal for walkers or joggers.

 

It is small enough to conceal to. BUT WHY? Strap it on your hand and you’re ready to go no matter what comes your way.

 

Stun guns temporarily incapacitate targets by sending a high voltage but low amperage charge of electricity to the nervous system causing a disruption in the body’s neurological impulses which causes the victim to lose balance.

 

It also causes temporary partial paralysis and depletes the body’s system of blood sugar (energy) making the body too weak to move.

 

A stun gun is a self defense weapon in the fight against crime: it is not lethal and at best will give the victim 2-3 minutes to escape.  Escape is better than the alternative.

There are a lot of choices in self defense products today. Police agencies the world over use many of them. Why shouldn’t you? 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. The Double Trouble Stun Gun is one of the most powerful out there.
