*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
Stun guns are one of the most effective types of nonlethal self defense device. A stun gun is a handheld, battery powered device designed to shock the target. The stun gun has two prongs on the end. By touching your attacker with these prongs and pulling the trigger, an electrical current is completed. The current causes your attacker to be unable to control muscle movement, resulting in loss of balance and coordination. The questions and answers below address the most commonly asked questions regarding stun guns.

How long does the device have to make contact? - Although this depends on the voltage of the device, in general, a one second contact will startle the attacker and cause muscle contraction. Two seconds will cause muscle spasms and a disoriented or dazed state. Three or more seconds results in loss of balance and muscle control. This length of time causes loss of balance and complete loss of muscle control. These effects will last for fifteen minutes or more. Low voltage stun guns or very large targets may require a slightly longer time period. When using a stun gun, however, it is not important to monitor closely the amount of time it is in contact with the assailant. Simply press it against your attacker until the attack stops.

Why isn't 1,000,000 volts deadly? - Stun guns have been touted as one of the most effective nonlethal self defense methods. Most stun guns have a current of between 800,000 and two million volts. Many people wonder why this voltage is not deadly. Although the voltage is high, the amperage is low, only about 3 milliamps. This is far below the amperage necessary to do lasting harm. As a result, stun guns will not cause permanent harm to the person who receives the electric shock.

Will I get shocked if the attacker touches me? - You will not be hurt, even if the attacker grabs you while you still have your stun gun pressed against his skin. The electrical current is absorbed by the muscles, and will not pass through the body to the holder of the stun gun.

Can a stun gun be discharged accidentally? - Stun guns are designed with a safety switch to prevent this possibility. Unless the safety switch is off and the device is turned on, the stun gun will not produce a shock.

Will a stun gun work on those under the influence? - Stun guns are still effective on those under the influence of drugs or alcohol. While the exact effects may vary, stun guns have proven to be effective on well over 90 percent of users. Your assailant will simply be unable to fight the effects of a powerful stun gun.

What are the legal restrictions on carrying a stun gun? - Although stun guns are legal to carry and use for self defense reasons in most states, they are restricted in some areas. You may need a permit to carry a concealed stun gun. If in doubt, contact your local police department.

Can a stun gun be fired multiple times? - Yes, a stun gun can be fired multiple times during the same attack, making it an excellent choice for a defending yourself in a situation with multiple assailants. With a fresh set of batteries, there are almost no limits on number of times the stun gun can be used during a single attack.
