The Advantages Of Cell Phone Stun Guns

By Steve Thibeault

If you are looking for a concealed stunning device, consider cell phone stun guns. Your assailant might think that you have a typical cell phone in your hand, but you are not looking to make a telephone call, this electronic device allows you to protect yourself by stunning your potential assailant. This allows you to get away quickly.

Most attackers rely on the element of surprise when they seek out a victim. But with easily accessible cell phone stun guns, the one who is surprised is the assailant because your self defense device is inconspicuous. By the time your attacker realizes you have the means to fight back, you have already accessed your stun gun and pressed the trigger to deliver an electrical charge.

An electrical charge is emitted by a stun gun, which is a direct contact non-lethal device. The person will lose control of muscle movement, due to a temporary disruption of the nervous system. There is a certain amount of pain involved, but it is temporary and localized. The person holding the stun gun cannot feel any level of pain, even if they are touching the assailant at the same time.

Cell phone stun guns are growing in popularity as a personal self defense device. As crime increases throughout the country, people are looking for effective ways to protect themselves. Many are looking for devices that are small and can be carried with them wherever they go.

Some people worry about the safety of self-defense devices. The intention of these items is to give the potential victim enough time to escape and seek assistance, not to impart permanent harm to anybody. As most self-defense devices have safety features, they cannot be accidentally discharged.

Cell phone stun guns range in voltage from 800,000 to 950,000 volts. Holding the stun gun on the attacker for about five seconds immobilizes the criminal for several minutes. But because they have low amperage, the shock does not cause serious or permanent injury.

Cell phone stun guns are very easy to use and run on batteries, they come with a lot of options in terms of their features, power, size and price. Some will also include a flashlight, which is convenient when walking at night or looking for the keyhole to get into your car or home.

About 1.3 million crimes are committed each year, so it is only smart to arm yourself with protection so you do not become a statistic. Some of the crimes committed on individuals involve aggravated assault, robbery, forcible rape and car jacking. A self-defense device will give you time to get away to safety and avoid becoming a victim.
