TASERself defense

A stun gun is a self-defense item that can be used to stop another person who is attacking you. It uses high-voltage energy to quickly immobilize the attacking person. It is designed to transfer the energy into the muscles of the person at a high pulse rate which causes the muscles to work at a very rapid pace, but on a very inefficient basis. This process makes it extremely difficult for the attacker to function at all regarding moving or attacking. The attacker will be disoriented and confused for a time but will not have any harm come to him concerning his vital organs.

Night vision: Are you using the device in low light/night time conditions? Then you would more than likely require a device that uses infrared LEDs to record footage in these conditions.

Most of the states allow these devices to be used in their jurisdiction, but some states restrict their use. The states of RI, MI, CT, and HI are states where these items are restricted. Before purchasing it would be a good idea to investigate whether or not there are any restrictions in the area in which you live. Your local police department would be a good place to receive information like this.

The stun gun usually has a very high voltage, but the amperage is very low so as not to cause permanent injury, although the process can be very painful for the attacker. The person receiving the voltage can be disabled for up to 30 minutes.

The resulting energy loss makes it difficult to move and function. At the same time, the tiny neurological impulses that travel throughout the body to direct muscle movement are interrupted.

The cattle prod was the first useful product that followed this line of thought, and it also helped develop more efficient methods of delivering an electric shock that was non-fatal. Ranchers are still using cattle prods to this day.

The first stun gun was actually a stun glove and used an electric current that ran up a tube into a glove. This device was originally invented in the 1930s but never really caught on. It wasn’t until the 1970s that the stun gun really got rolling when the TASER device was invented.

Ok, your fear of stun guns is gone, and you've chosen the perfect model for you or your loved one. How are you going to defend yourself if you are attacked?

If you had a fear of these devices before reading this, then you shouldn't any longer. Also, if you're looking to purchase one for defensive purposes, I would keep that little tip to myself. You can let others fear your personal protector. Read up on Stun Gun Myths.

The attacker's neuromuscular system is overwhelmed and controlled by the EID, disorientation and loss of balance occur, and direct voluntary muscle movement is lost. Should you make contact with the body of the attacker, no current will pass through your system.

Lesson Two: if you are attacked, pick a large muscle group to stun. The chest, the stomach, obviously the groin, the thighs, and the back are ideal places to stun an attacker. These large muscle groups will bring down an attacker very quickly. Now, you don't have all day to make a decision, so if the face or neck is the closest body part you can reach, well, then it's just not his lucky day. Also, the longer you hold it on someone, the longer and more effective the stunning will be. One to two seconds will get their attention. Three to five seconds will get their attention, most likely dropping them to the ground and leaving them confused.

In general, a contact of one-half of a second will repel and startle the intruder. One to two seconds results in a dazed mental situation. Three seconds can cause loss of muscle control, loss of balance, and disorientation. The energy passing to the attacker will not affect the person who is holding the stun gun. Even if the attacker were to touch the person giving the stun, there would be no effect on the person holding the unit.

One to two seconds can cause muscle spasms and a dazed mental state. Over three seconds can cause loss of balance and muscle control, mental confusion, and disorientation. Realize that 3 seconds is quite a long time when in a physical struggle.

A stun gun is an electrical self-defense device that uses high voltage to stop an attacker. Touching a person with the prongs of the device quickly immobilizes the attacker. However, because the amperage is very low, no serious or permanent injury is inflicted.The stun gun is designed to key into the nervous system. It dumps its energy into the muscles at a high pulse frequency that makes the muscles work very rapidly but not efficiently.

Lesson One: To use a stun gun, have the weapon out and in your hand in any situation where you could be an easy target. I'm not saying to walk around Wal-Mart with a stun gun in your hand while you shop, but criminals look for easy targets or opportunities. If you're walking through the mall parking lot, a parking garage, or alone, in general, you're a pretty easy target. If you're walking in these same areas with a weapon in your hand, the criminal is going to find someone else. Nobody wants a huge scene when they're trying to rob, attack or rape you.

Stun guns do not rely on high amperage for results. They are designed to key into the nervous system, interrupting tiny neurological impulses that travel through the whole body as well as instantly burning blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid similar to that of extremely vigorous exercise.

A stun gun is an excellent, safe device that can be used in situations where an immediate safety situation requires quick action in order to neutralize an attacker. This device is perfect for such a situation.

In order to use a unit on an attacker, it must be held against the body of the attacker. The electrodes should be held against a part of the body that will not move much, like a shoulder or upper hip, rather than a hand or arm, which can quickly move out of the way. It should be held against the attacker continuously for a few seconds. More time holding the gun against the attacker is required if a person is larger.

Your next decision in owning one is which model to purchase. There are many different sizes, styles, colors, and voltages available. The answer is: whichever one fits you the best. You may want a smaller one because you have small hands. You may want a larger one, such as a stun baton, because you work security at a nightclub. A cell phone or lipstick is perfect if you want to conceal the device. Any voltage is enough to bring someone down when used in the right areas.

If traveling, be sure to pack your device in your checked luggage, not in your carry-on bag. There is a good chance that it would be confiscated if it were to be found in the carry-on bag. These devices are not allowed in airport terminal areas either. Also, you should never have these items with you in any government building, as they will more than likely be confiscated.

And that is completely understood because electricity can kill you. So, first things first...the electricity from one of these cannot kill you. It will hurt really bad, but it is not lethal. Even the ones that claim to be millions of volts won't kill you. It's the amperage, not the voltage, that can kill you, and stun guns use less than 5 milliamps.

Security: Do you need to protect your footage? In most cases when using a body camera for personal use, this is not often necessary. Many entry-level devices do not offer a layer of security, which makes file transfer to a PC simple and striaght forward. Other devices, designed to be used in more professional environments, offer device PIN protection and full 256-bit AES encryption for complete data security.

Body Cameras are already used in a wide range of industry sectors, from healthcare to retail, to ensure that staff and customers alike can be held accountable for illegal and antisocial activity. Now, more and more personal users are adopting body cameras to collect footage and deter aggressive behaviour in the unfortunate event that they be required.

Surprisingly, stun guns, or at least a primitive type thereof, have been around since the 1700s. A Leyden jar was used to store electrical charge from static buildup.

Most models are small enough to be carried in a purse or fit in the pocket of a jacket or pants. Many models will include a belt with a clip or holster so the stun gun can be worn at the waist.

Body Cameras have grown in popularity over recent years, due to the ever growing need to protect personal liability, collect evidence of antisocial behaviour and to deter aggressive and violent situations.

When an EID is combined with the use of Pepper Spray, it is recommended that a non-flammable EID-compatible spray is used, such as Pepper Shot or Wildfire Brands.

Ease-of-use: Most devices offer a 'one-push' operation for starting and stopping recording. Others offer a wide range of features, and even a touch-screen operating system - which is ideal for some situations but not others. These devices are amongst the simplest to use and ideal Body Cameras for personal use.

Durability: Many Body Cameras are built to withstand the elements and are dust and windproof. Is there a chance that your device will need to be used outside in the rain, or may be dropped in the puddle? If this is the case, then you may want to consider a device with either an IP67 or IP68 rating to ensure that your device will work reliably in these conditions.

Many people feel a specific emotion when they see a stun gun, and that emotion is usually fear. It's mainly from the electricity. People have this innate fear of electricity even if they've never had any experience with it.

You will not be shocked if your attacker is touching you. Even if you or the attacker are wet or standing in water, you will not get shocked. The effect is localized only to where contact is made.

You will not be affected even if you are holding your attacker with another hand or he is holding you! The extreme shock does not pass between people.

In summary, a stun gun uses a battery to store energy, which is then controlled and transformed into high-voltage bursts by the circuit board, transformer, and capacitor. These bursts are delivered through the electrodes to create an electric shock that incapacitates an attacker.

STUNGUN EFFECT & USE: A stungun is a legal (check state & local laws) EID, Electronic Immobilization Device that emits high voltage shock. By merely applying the unit to an attacker, they are immobilized for up to several minutes with no permanent damage.

As a general rule, a one-half-second contact will repel and startle the attacker, causing some pain and muscle contraction. If he lets go, take off and get out of there.

This causes disorientation and loss of balance and leaves the attacker in a passive and confused condition for several minutes.

This device was actually intended as an air safety device that Marshals could use to subdue a criminal while in mid-flight. Since then, the TASER device has become one of the most popular self defense items in the world, simply because it is non-lethal, effective, affordable, and easy to use. Read our post on the History of Stun Guns.

Lesson Three: take quick but detailed mental notes of the attacker, and then RUN! Go get help immediately. If you've stunned the guy long enough to drop him to the ground, chances are it'll take some time for him to run off. And even if he does, you should have some details to give to the police. Oh and be sure to even call the police. Some people figure that if the guy runs off, it's too late. It's not. The guy with a few screws loose that just attacked you will do it again. And if you don't report it, then we can't warn others. And the next person may not be as prepared as you.

Storage capacity: How much footage are you looking to collect? Whilst some users opt for a body camera as a durable alternative to something like a GoPro, you may find that 'less is more' when it comes to using a body camera for personal protection, which in turn means that less storage capacity is required. Best practise is to only record events as and when they occur; not to record the entire dog walk for example. There are Body Cameras available that offer expandable storage with an external SD card, whilst others offer internal memory only.

Although there is no significant effect on the perpetrator's heart and other organs, you have the time you need to get away and get help.
