Here are some tips on how to use one.

1. By touching an assailant with a stun gun for a few seconds, he can be immobilized for several minutes with no permanent harm. Stun guns are considered reasonable force to resist attack. They can be used many times to ward off attackers before the battery needs recharging, or replacing.
