Stun guns are an effective way to defend yourself from attack. It is important that you know how to handle them. When you purchase one, make sure you practice with it to become familiar with the operations.

Older stun guns operated in the 200,000 – 1,000,000 volt range and they are still available. Recently, much stronger stun guns have come on the market and they can deliver up to 4.5 million volts.  More volts are better.

Stun guns send several jolts of electricity through the body. This shock actually incapacitates the attacker temporarily, giving you time to get away or call for help.

Stun guns require the user to be close enough to make contact with the body. The stun gun can deliver several shots of electricity in a short time.

Stun guns are small and easy to carry in your pocket or your purse. No one can tell that you have one and you can take them anywhere where they are legally allowed. 

Stun guns are inexpensive and a very affordable way to protect yourself.
