Below we will walk you through each step in choosing\u00a0the\u00a0best\u00a0stun gun\u00a0for you and your personal situation.<\/p>\n
Step 1 – Are Stun Guns Legal In Your Area?<\/h3>\n
The first thing you want to do when you buy stun guns online is to familiarize yourself with the stun gun laws below<\/p>\n
STUN GUN LAWS<\/h3>\n
STATES WHERE STUN GUNS ARE RESTRICTED:<\/strong><\/p>\n CONNECTICUT (Legal with Restrictions )<\/strong> ANNAPOLIS, MD (Illegal)<\/strong> This is an important question to ask yourself, as it will help determine the best type of stun gun to fill your needs. If you are doing security rounds, you may want to carry a stun baton on your belt. If you want the feeling of some added protection when you are wandering through a darkened area, you may want to choose a stun gun that also functions as a flashlight.\u00a0 Alternatively, you may want to buy a stun gun that you can carry in your hand with your keys.<\/p>\n This question is paramount. No matter what type of electroshock stun product you choose, you must feel comfortable enough to use it during a crisis situation. This may mean training with it at home and may mean starting off small, and then working your way up to larger models.<\/p>\n Standard style stun guns are very effective and may sometimes use technology powered from a 9 volt battery. Often these can be some of the most powerful stun guns on the market. They are usually designed to fit a mans hand and be carried in a standard belt loop holster. They have a type of \u201cOld School\u201d look to them which lets your assailants know that these stun guns will get the job done.<\/p>\n Mini Stun Guns will often use CR2 camera style batteries to produce their take-down current, making them just as strong in take-down power, but much easier wield. The smaller size of mini stun guns makes them a lot less cumbersome when attached to a belt and much easier to conceal if the need arises. Mini Stun Gun Benefits and Drawbacks<\/strong><\/p>\n Cell phone stun guns and other covert disguised self defense products<\/a> empower you with more than just instant stopping power, they also equip you with the advantage of a surprise attack.<\/p>\n A standard stun gun on your belt says to people \u201cI am armed and prepared to defend myself if you attack\u201d<\/em><\/strong> This is a great deterrent, but it also lets the attacker know what you are going to do, giving them a chance to try and disarm you in a surprise attack of their own.<\/p>\n \u00a0A Cell Phone stun gun allows you to walk around with the self defense weapon in your hand without arousing suspicion<\/strong>. Should someone become aggressive with you, they wont even have a chance to develop an action plan of disarming you and your surprise attack advantage will leave them on the ground while you get help.<\/p>\n Bigger and harder to conceal, stun batons are used by security guards, bouncers, as well as dog walkers, senior citizens<\/strong>, and anyone else who wants the added security of fending off an attacker from a distance. Stun flashlights also fall under the stun baton category, although a lot of standard and mini stun guns do have flashlight capabilities. These are important aspects to consider if you are going to buy stun guns online.<\/p>\n Just the sight and sound is often enough to send someone running for the hills<\/strong>. Not just for security crowd control, a crackling stun baton in full operation is a great deterrent for Dogs and other animals as well due to both the visual display of lighting between the prongs and the high pitched sound it makes to their ears.<\/p>\n Stun Batons often also have built in safety features that prevent it from being grabbed. These include a disable pin that prevents the baton from being used against you if you let go of it, and stun strips on the side of the baton that will stun anyone who grabs it.<\/p>\n Stun Baton Benefits and Drawbacks<\/strong><\/p>\n Voltage is a measure of the force behind the current or in a sense how fast the current travels, not how powerful the current is.<\/strong> This means that higher voltages require less time to exhaust the muscles of an attacker. Current refers to the number of electrons flowing though the perpetrators muscles and thus an increase in current could eventually cause harm to an attacker. The difference between stun gun voltages is essentially how long you need to hold the stun gun on an attacker. Stun guns are effective because they force a low electric current through the resistance of the assailants body. (*see more on How Stun Guns Work<\/a>)<\/p>\n Because voltage claims can be manipulated<\/strong>, some U.S manufacturers have decided to remove the word \u201cVoltage\u201d entirely from their product line. Instead it will read something like: \u201cThis 5,000,000 model compares in power to other 5,000,000 models we tested\u201d<\/p>\n Back in the day, voltage ratings meant something.\u00a0 However, once things went beyond 900,000, voltage claims became the wildwest.\u00a0 When buying stun guns online, look for a lifetime USA warranty.<\/p>\n Two examples of high quality U.S. Stun gun manufacturers are Streetwise Security Products<\/strong> (Cutting Edge Products) and Stun Master<\/strong> (Safety Technology). Both have lifetime warranties and the amperage in their stun guns to take down even the largest of assailants.\u00a0 These are the companies to look for if you are going to buy a stun gun online. (note, Taser is considered the highest standard, but they do not fall under electroshock self defense devices, they are considered conducted energy devices or CEDs)<\/p>\n Stun Gun Voltage Points to Remember<\/strong><\/p>\n If you buy Stun Guns online, you now have a profusion of different features to choose from. Depending on your comfort level and intended application, you may wish to familiarize yourself with some of the more common features found in modern stun guns.<\/p>\n The disable pin prevents the attacker from taking the stun gun from you and using it against you. A strap fits around your wrist so that if the stun gun is dropped or pulled from your hand it will cease to function. If for some reason this happens, you might want to have a pepper spray as back up. This works great for the cell phone stun gun models as you can carry them around in your hand<\/p>\n A holster is something that should be considered, even for a mini stun gun. Easy access in most situations is critical. Carrying a stun gun on your belt also works as a visual deterrent to ward off would be attackers.<\/p>\n Although slightly more expensive, you will save money in the long run if you use rechargeable versions. Some have a built in charging plug that lets you plug your stun gun directly into the wall.<\/p>\n some stun guns come with a personal alarm to ward off attackers. This gives you another level of protection and can often make an attacker think twice.<\/p>\n A flashlight is great for shining in the eyes of an attacker, giving you an advantage before deploying the stun gun to their body. It also has the added benefit to help you find your way when enshrouded by darkness.<\/p>\n Check out our complete range of high-quality stun guns and electroshock devices<\/a> from the most trusted U.S manufacturers in the industry at StunGunMikes.com.
