How to Use a Stun Gun
A stun gun is a battery-operated device that delivers an electrical shock to an attacker using two metal prongs located on top of the device. It can be used as protection from attackers and muggers. The current of the gun interrupts the nerve impulses that control muscle movement. It can cause a person to be disabled for nearly 30 minutes. Proper precautions should be taken.
