There is no denying that the world out there is dangerous. While it's not a good idea to become paranoid, it's always a good idea to be prepared. That's why stun guns have become a popular self-defense choice for many people. Stun guns work by using electromagnetic pulses to impede the functioning of the attacker's muscles and nerves. When a stun gun hits the attacker, a sudden jolt of pain will spread through his body and the electromagnetic pulses will paralyze the attacker for a few moments. This allows the victim to escape unharmed to find help or call authorities. There are many makes and models of stun guns to choose from, and choosing the best stun gun for your needs is important to maximize your personal safety. Size Size is an important factor in choosing your stun gun. Stun guns can range in size, from the garage door opener to the baton. People with smaller hands may prefer smaller models as these models fit their hands better. However, that doesn't mean that larger stun guns are best for those with large hands. Larger stun guns are harder to conceal and may feel awkward to handle. If you find yourself in a store that sells stun guns, ask if you can handle different sizes of stun guns to see which one feels best. It should feel comfortable in your hands and be easy to carry. Size Does Not Equal Power While size is an important factor when choosing a stun gun, you should keep in mind that size does not determine how powerful or effective the stun gun will be. This is determined by voltage, amperage and delivery method. Amperage in particular is the best method to determine actual power, but all of these factors should be considered when looking for a more powerful stun gun...... middle of the paper... the conduit will offer a very long life or otherwise lifetime warranty for their products. This is not only beneficial in ensuring that your stun gun is repaired or replaced in the event of an accident, but is also a sign of product quality.

Lifetime warranties are usually only offered if the company has enough confidence in its products and designs to not lose money.

When looking for the best stun gun for your needs, you should take the time to shop around and try different makes and models.
