Did you know that predecessor to today's stun guns were the cattle prods used by ranchers back in the early 1900s? Stun guns today are one of the most popular self defense products in the world.
They are small hand held devices with two prongs on the end that conduct electricity.
The electricity comes from battery power but some models are rechargeable.
They can range from as high as 2.
7 million volts down to 80,000 volts.
A four or 5 second application to an assailant's body will cause the muscles to work super fast depleting the body of the energy making the body unable to move.
Stun guns use high voltage and low wattage so no permanent damage is done to the assailant.
Law enforcement agencies and military units have use stun devices for decades in the performance of their jobs.
Almost all law enforcement officers carry some kind of stun device.
To me that is a pretty good endorsement of their effectiveness.
They are just one example of a civilian self defense product whose sole purpose as a non-lethal weapon to allow the user to get away from a dangerous situation and seek help.
There are literally thousands of them on the market today from hundreds of manufacturers.
Which one is the most popular? By far the most popular stun gun in the world is a cell phone stun gun.
It looks just like a regular cell phone but is really an 800,000 volt stun device.
It has a 100 dB alarm, bright flashlight and a disable pin wrist strap.
It comes with the batteries needed and a free holster.
There is a lifetime warranty too.
At $59.
95 it is one of the "best buys" in self defense products you can get.
Maybe that is why the Cell Stun Gun is the most popular stun tool in the world.
It is great for senior and women's self defense too.
When are you getting one?
