Have you begun to notice an increase in the frequency and distribution of crimes being committed against individuals?

You will soon come to know of an extremely effective and affordable means of enhancing your safety.

A review of the sales literature will show there is an increase in the sales of stun guns. More and more people are seeking personal solutions to enhancing self and family protection without the use of handguns.

When it comes to personal self-defense, stun guns are becoming more and more popular. When compared to a conventional handgun, the stun gun could be considered a merciful alternative to employ during a situation that requires a self-defense solution.

Stun guns immediately, yet temporarily, disrupt the electrical signals transmitted from the brain to the muscles, thereby incapacitating an attacker while simultaneously not causing any lasting harm. It's the combination of the high-voltage and the low-amp electrical charge that enables the gun to penetrate clothing, knock an assailant down and disorient him, without causing permanent damage to the body.

Hopefully, you will never be in an attack situation. If you are, however, your goal is to survive and get away, right?

Looking into the mind of an attacker we see a dangerous, yet scared, individual who uses both surprise and fear to assault others. These cowards, if you will, rarely expect their 'victims" to respond in an effective self-defensive manner.

In fact, just having a useful, legal weapon like a stun gun, imbues one with a certain and noticeable confidence that, in many cases, signals a criminal that you are not any easy 'mark', so the criminal may decide to pass you by. On the other hand, if you are attacked, you can use your stun gun to stop the attack, render your assailant helpless, and make your getaway.

Stun guns have a simple mode of operation that's based on the electrical design of the human body. The body is naturally susceptible to electrical shocks. The stun gun operates in a manner that, when activated, blocks communication between brain and muscle, thereby rendering the recipient of the stun helpless and incapable of continuing an attack.

Stun guns are battery operated, which adds to their convenience of use. Stun guns have been know to prevent an attack in that once a potential assailant sees that you have one and hears the crackling sound and sees the spark it emits he sometimes changes his mind regarding pursuing you as a victim.

If he doesn't run, simply apply the stun gun to him, anywhere on the clothing or body. The stun gun charge will confuse, disorient and paralyze the assailant, leaving him weak and unable to control his own muscles.

Stun guns range in strengths from 100,000 - 750,000 volts. Furthermore, they are designed in different sizes and, they come in straight or curved versions.

So, if you are seeking an affordable and legal (by all means, check your state law regarding the possession and use of stun guns) method of enhancing your personal and family safety, consider stun guns: the safe and humane alternative to handguns.
