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.

Instructions

    • 1

      Hold the stun gun steadily in your hand before leaving the safety of your vehicle.

    • 2

      Turn the stun gun on before you leave the vehicle. Do not touch the trigger until you are ready to use the stun gun.

    • 3

      Hold the prongs away from you, making sure it does not touch any part of your body. If the gun touches you, it can temporarily disable you.

    • 4

      Hold the stun gun against the attacker's hip or shoulder before firing it. These are the best muscles to target to incapacitate your attacker.

    • 5

      Hold the trigger down until the attacker is downed.

    • 6

      Run to safety and call 911.

Tips & Warnings

  • Make sure to test your stun gun frequently. Touch the prongs to something metal after turning the gun off to release any residual charge.

  • Keep extra batteries on hand so your stun gun will always be ready to use. Regularly check your stun gun to make sure the batteries are fully charged.

  • Be sure to check with your law enforcement to insure that it is legal to carry a stun gun in your city or state.
