Stun guns are close proximity self defense devices that use high-voltage electricity to stop an attacker by momentarily disabling muscle control. To use, simply pull the trigger and touch the aggressor with the metal prongs.
TASER devices are electroshock weapons that use electrical current to disrupt muscle control, stopping an attacker dead in their tracks. TASER devices can be used both close and far range. Upon firing, TASER devices shoot two metal probe darts a distance of 15 feet to reach an attacker before he reaches you. The TASER can also be used as a direct contact stun gun, allowing for close proximity self defense.


PROS & CONS OF TASER AND STUN GUN DEVICES
The Pros and Cons of owning and using a Stun Gun or TASER self defense device depending on which features are most important to you, and are most effective for the situation in which you could be using it.


STUN GUN PROS:

  • Stun Guns come in all shapes, sizes, and voltage! Voltage varying from 100,000 volts to 4.5 million volts.
  • For close range self defense, nothing brings an attacker down more quickly and efficiently.
  • If you touch the person while stunning them, the electrical current will not pass back to you.
  • Avoid an attacker by firing a warning shot in the air; the electrical crackling can deter an attack before it happens.
  • More cost effective than TASER devices, stun guns cost less, do not require replacement firing cartridges, they are powered by batteries or they recharge, and they do NOT require a felony background check.
  • Wide variety of models available: Handheld, Knuckle Grip, Rechargeable, and Womens.

STUN GUN CONS:
Stun guns do not have far range capabilities, they are meant for close range self defense. To drop an attacker to the ground, you must touch the person with the unit. We also carry Stun Batons which allow for extended reach if you are interested in direct contact stun gun devices with an extended range.
