Most Powerful Stun Gun - The Benefit of Owning One

As you can see by browsing the internet for a stun gun, there are many different shapes, sizes and power output you can choose from. The sole purpose of any stun gun is to buy you some time in order to find safety if an assailant were to choose you for his next prey. You, nor I, want to be involved in that kind of situation and we should be willing to do whatever it takes to protect ourselves and our loved ones from that kind of violent behavior.
Everyone has a different opinion but one thing remains a fact, the more powerful the stun gun the more effective it is taking down an assailant. All stun guns have high voltage and low amperage, some being stronger than others.
This means that stun guns are a very effective non-lethal means of self defense. Have you ever wondered if you could get shocked while using a stun gun on an attacker if he were touching you?
Don't worry, it will never happen. That is the beauty of high voltage and low amperage.
Household electrical current is the opposite with low voltage (around 220) and high amperage (between 100 & 200 amps). That is what can seriously hurt someone. The amperage is the key factor to how severe you could get hurt.
Typically, most stun guns work in the 7 to 14 amp range and household amperage is 28 times stronger than that. Just to give you an example of high voltage and low amperage. I know you have been shocked when touching a door knob or something metal. A shock like this has about 25,000 volts.
Enough to get your attention but doesn't hurt.
What happens when an attacker or an assailant is touched with a stun gun? First, I want to explain how the stun gun works. The stun gun pulsates at a rapid rate. When the attacker is touched by the stun gun, the stun guns energy is dumped into the attackers body, the stun gun interrupts the neurological signal the brain sends to the muscles. The energy makes the muscles work in a high rapid rate depleting the muscles of all blood sugars and turn them into Lactic acid. This affect makes the assailant very weak, unstable and disoriented. A second contact will cause the attackers muscles to contract and react by jumping back. A 3 to 5 second contact with the most powerful stun gun will put even the most aggressive attackers on his knees preventing him from any further aggressive behavior. Even the weaker stun guns do a good job of stopping an attacker, but I believe a 950,000 to 1,000,000 (or more) volt stun gun will be more effective in taking him down and giving you more time to find safety.
As we all know, there are many uses for a stun gun but I would like to let you know why you should own a stun gun. We all have moments where we fear that something bad could happen to us or to someone we love. Few reasons could be you have a spouse you care very much for, you have young children and fear them of getting hurt if a burglar were to break into your home or pick you as their next victim on your next outing to the mall with your child, you travel a lot and want the added peace of mind or you have a daughter or son starting to date or go off to college and you want them to be safe knowing you are not there to protect them. There are many different reasons for owning a stun gun so why not make the move and give the gift of safety and security as well as give you the peace of mind you need and want.

Top-level comments on this article: (2 total)Great article, Tammy and one thing I might add; there are stun guns available that have wrists straps that you can place on your wrist and will pull out and disable the stun gun should your attacker pull it from your grip. Many years ago I purchased a stun gun and thankfully I never had to use it. I was living in Dallas at the time and when we had a rash of serial killings (of women), I then purchased a gun--luckily I never had to use that either.Thanks for a great article.SandraThanks so much for reading my article and glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for informing me of the strap as I was aware of the otption and many of my stun guns have that feature. When writing the article, I was refering to the Double Trouble Stun Gun 1.2 million volt which does not have that option. I am sure to do many article on the Stun Master Stun Guns as well as the Z-Force Stun Guns that have that feature. I will be sure to add your helpful tip.If you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I enjoy customer feedback and comments.Yours in Safety,TammyTKS SolutionsPS. I am so glad that you have not been put in such a situation to have had to use your stun gun or gun. 1 out of 4 Americans are involved or know someone involved in a serious crime in their lifetime. Not very good odds. :-(Have a great evening.
FOR ANYONE READING THIS ARTICLE:Please realize that Tammy has no idea what she is talking about and should not be looked to as an expert on non-lethal self defense weapons. She apparently doesn't realize that one-tenth of an ampere of current is enough stop someone's heart. Her statement that a stun gun delivers 7-14 amps is absolutely, positively LUDICROUS! Your're talking about instant death at 10-14 amps.Yes, your home may be equipped with a distribution panel that is capable of handling 100-200 amps of total current draw for your home. Most individual wall outlets are rated at 15-20 amps. Most stun guns only deliver 0.001 to 0.003 amps or 3 milliamps of current; not enough to permanently damage a person. The high voltage of a stun gun is what causes severe muscle contractions and pain. This is why stun guns are referred to as "Pain Compliance Devices". Stun guns are considered non-lethal weapons and are legal to own and carry in most States.
