Stun guns are a great way to help keep yourself safe. As crime increases, so does the number of people taking responsibility for protecting themselves, their homes and their businesses. We all hope we never need to use stun guns, but if we are ever attacked, it can mean the difference between life and death. Stun guns use high voltage and low amperage to temporarily disable an attacker for several minutes. The stun gun does not rely on pain for results. The energy stored in the gun is dumped into the attacker’s muscles causing them to do a great deal of work rapidly. This rapid work cycle instantly depletes the attacker’s blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid. In short, he is unable to produce energy for his muscles, and his body is unable to function properly. The stun gun also interrupts the tiny neurological impulses that control and direct voluntary muscle movement. When the attacker’s neuromuscular system is overwhelmed and controlled by the stun gun he loses his balance. Should the attacker be touching you, the current will NOT pass to your body! The powerful effects of the stun gun will give you the time to run away and seek help. If you are looking for an inexpensive, safe, and easy to use alternative to more dangerous self defense items, there's no better choice than stun guns.
