Stun Guns - Non Lethal Self Defense

Stun guns work by delivering an electric shock by coming in direct contact with an attacker. They are meant to temporarily incapacitate a person without doing any real damage. This is achieved by using high voltage, low amperage electrical charges. The high voltage is needed to help pass through an attackers clothing, but the low amperage keeps the charge from doing any real damage. If someone is struck by lightning or otherwise electrocuted, they can easily be seriously injured or killed. In low doses; however, electricity can be harmless. The human body needs and uses electricity to perform motor functions. When you want to move your finger, your brain sends an electrical signal to the appropriate muscles in just the right way to perform the desired movement. Stun guns work by sending a disabling charge to "disrupt" the normal electrical communication in an attacker's body. The electrical charge from a stun gun mixes with the electrical charge from an attacker's brain to "garble" the signals in the attacker's body. This makes it very difficult for muscles to decipher what they are supposed to do. This disorients and can even temporarily paralyze an attacker. Stun guns should never be used on the elderly, the very young or anyone with a weak heart or heart condition. Used correctly, they can be a very affordable, safe and effective self defense weapon.
