Stun guns are electrical self defense weapons that generate a high voltage, low amperage charge to stop an attacker.
Touching a person with the metal contacts of the stun gun quickly immobilizes the attacker. However, because stun guns have very low amperage, no serious or permanent injury is inflicted.
Stun Guns are designed to attack the nervous system of an assailant. Stun Guns dump energy into the muscles at a high pulse frequency that makes the muscles work very rapidly, but not efficiently. This rapid work cycle depletes blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid all in just seconds. 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. This causes disorientation and loss of balance and leaves the attacker in a passive and confused condition for several minutes. Although there is no significant effect on the assailant’s heart and other organs, you have the time you need to get away and call for help.
Our non-lethal stun guns and stun batons have a higher instant incapacitation rate than a 9mm handgun, and are legal to carry in most states. When seconds count, a stun gun can quickly incapacitate an attacker and enable you to escape unharmed.
Stun guns are cheap to buy, simple to use and deliver superior security results.

It is the only self-defense weapon capable of totally disabling an attacker, yet it is non lethal. A handgun or knife is lethal.
In addition, a gun or knife requires ability. In order for these weapons to work, you need to hit the target in critical areas. Unfortunately, hitting the critical area to ward off an attack with a handgun requires training and success can bring death and lawsuits.
A stun gun requires no ability. If you touch a stun gun anywhere on the intruder you disable him and the attacker is left unharmed.
A stun gun is a non-lethal hand-held, battery-powered self-defense device designed to deliver an electric shock to an attacker.
The batteries supply electrical current to the stun gun’s circuitry, which contain transformers that boost the voltage, typically to between 50,000 and 4,500,000 volts, and reduce the amperage. This current charges a capacitor. The capacitor builds up a charge, and releases it to the electrodes.
The electrodes are simply two prongs of conducting metal positioned in the circuit with a gap between them at the top of the stun gun. Since the electrodes are positioned along the circuit, they have a high voltage difference between them. If you fill this gap with the attacker's body (conductor), the electrical pulses dump electricity into the attacker's central nervous system.
A stun gun uses high voltage and low amperage to temporarily disable an attacker for several minutes. A stun gun also interrupts the neurological impulses that control and direct voluntary muscle movement. When the attacker neuromuscular system is overwhelmed and controlled by the stun gun he loses his balance.
When a stun gun touches both probes against the assailant’s body for 1/2 second, it will startle the assailant, giving him some pain, muscular contraction and shock.
For 1-2 seconds, a stun gun will cause muscle spasms and a dazed mental state.
For 3-5 seconds, a stun gun will cause loss of balance and muscle control, total mental confusion and disorientation, leaving him dazed.
The attacker will be unable to recover for several minutes and effects may last for up to fifteen minutes. Under no conditions can you suffer a charge back to your own body, even if the assailant touches you while you are using a stun gun on him.
Choosing the right stun gun requires you to think for a moment about the situations in life you feel the most vulnerable.
Many unique factors come into play in this determination including lifestyle and gender.
If only one stun gun is in your budget, we recommend a smaller unit that you can carry with you in your pocket or purse.
We believe there is three critical zones that a stun gun can and should protect:
Personal: A smaller stun gun carried in your pocket or purse is a wise choice.
Car: A larger stun gun stored in your glove box or storage consol provides instant self-defense ability and is legal.
Home: A larger stun gun, possibly a stun baton or stun flashlight for the nightstand is a good idea making it readily available for nighttime vulnerabilities.
Other zones worth consideration is near the front door of your residence and in your desk at work.
Our stun gun line is constantly changing as we strive to offer the highest quality brands with unique advantages.
ALL the stun guns we carry meet our quality standards including ones that are inexpensive.
ALL of the stun guns on the main stun gun page receive our highest recommendation and our worthy of your consideration.
This includes the under $15 models.
It is our belief that your self-defense needs are better met with more stun guns readily available than one expensive stun gun you suddenly find yourself without when that moment of need comes.
Today's stun gun owes it origins to the cattle prod.
In the U.S., inventors had been patenting electric cattle prods from the beginning of the century. By the 1950s, the stun devices were being patented but now they were characterized as non-lethal weapons.
The first stun gun design (1952) was proposed for commando operations, to replace loud explosive gunfire. Domestic uses of what was to become a stun gun were also proposed such as an "Electrified Stick for Postman" (1964) or "Combined Policeman's Club and Restraining Device" (1960).
In the early 60s, Government commissions proposed more effective means of riot control, including electric stun batons. These stun gun devices were characterized as improved law enforcement batons or crowd control sticks. They were mounted as accessories on teargas firearms to prevent rioters from wresting them from police.
In the 1970s, electric stun technology took the shape of stun guns and stun batons, proposed as ways of demobilizing terrorists. They were particularly touted for airline safety since a handgun could puncture the plane's shell while a stun gun could immobilize terrorists at a distance.
By the end of the 70s, inventors began marketing today's stun gun devices to the public as weapons against muggers.
What’s the difference between low voltage and high voltage stun guns?
A 50,000-volt stun gun is more than adequate to disable an attacker.
However, higher voltage stun guns deliver more current and thus faster results. In addition to higher voltage, the more powerful stuns we offer have additional benefits worth considering.
That being said, we believe the higher and higher voltage you see in today’s marketplace represent manufacturer marketing more than volt reality.
A Taser and Stun Gun are similar, but NOT the same.
A Taser fires darts that slightly embed in your attacker, a Stun Gun does not.
The darts fired from the Taser (up to 15’) are still connected to the Taser and provide a gateway for the delivery of the attacker subduing electricity. This allows for distance between you and the attacker.
In the event the darts miss the target, the Taser handgun works as a regular stun gun.
