Scream for Security

A stun gun is with less restriction on their use than a firearm. Stun guns are quick, efficient, and are nonlethal weapons. A stun gun can easily be concealed in a pocket or purse, and is very lightweight. Stun guns are often battery powered, so charging them is not a problem. Stun guns provide a wonderful sense of security. A stun gun, which is also known as a taser (Thomas A Swift’s Electronic Rifle), is used as a self-defense weapon. Stun guns do not do any personal damage; however, they can leave a person dazed for as long as fifteen minutes. The only variation of the taser is they shoot barbs, which carry an electric current through the connected wire, which can travel considerable distances.

Stun guns function as a high voltage, and low current mechanism. This is what causes the sudden “stun.” Electric current is the flow of charged particles. Our bodies’ nervous system runs on electric charges and, consequently, when that extra amount of current is added to the body, although substantially low, it still causes the stun. The high voltage allows the current to enter the body, which also cause convulsions and spasms. This is caused by the high voltage, low current charge.

A new trend in security systems is on the horizon that will inspire community and give a new-found respect. Ladies can replace that monthly period with an exclamation mark as feminine hygiene goes lethal with a stun gun creatively disguised except for the buttons, prods and high voltage. This weapon of mass absorption aims to target a niche market consumer, that being the tampon wielding women who desire private and discreet security in a friendly familiar package.

Stun gun is the latest in portable and personal security systems its ingenious design and ability to be concealed nicely and unassumingly into any purse for ultimate stealth. The stun gun’s gentle glide zapplicator easily fits in the palm of your hand for incredible comfort and protection and ready for honorable discharge at a moments notice.

What difference does the stun guns voltage make ?

The higher the stun guns voltage, the less time you have to contact the assailant to immobilize them and escape. For example, a 100,000 volt stun gun requires you to touch the person for 8 to 10 seconds to immobilize them. This would be considered much too long to be an effective self defense device.

On the other hand, 800 or 900,000 volt stun guns requires you to touch the person for about 1 to 2 seconds, making it extremely quick acting and effective. We strongly advise you to get the most powerful stun gun you can afford.
