Buy Stun Gun - Know How to Use It 

Why you should read your instructions before you play with your new toy. About heart conditions and stun guns. Information on how to stun an attacker, and how much zapping it takes to stop him.

Read the instructions first

If you decide to buy a stun gun, read the instructions BEFORE you play with it.
It is possible to break your new toy, simply by zapping the air. Most electrical appliances need to be earthed, so they don't blow up. Stun guns need to be touching someone for them to be earthed. That someone should only be an attacker.

If it is touching someone, it will keep working until it runs out of battery power. If it is zapping the air, it may stop working in a couple of seconds. So read your instructions first and you won't break it.

Heart attack 

I have read that a stun gun will not cause a person to have a heart attack. After reading that, I wondered why that could be so when it is possible to scare a person to death, just by sneaking up from behind them, and loudly saying, "BOO!" 

Obviously the person must have a problem with their heart for this to work. But then, who's to say that your attacker won't have a heart condition and drop dead when you zap him.

Remember that if you kill your attacker, you may end up going to jail.

Your stun gun should come with some tips on how to use it. Some of the more expensive models come with videos. 

How to stun an attacker

The first thing you need to understand about using a stun gun is that the two prongs, must touch the person you want to zap. So, you have to stab at the attacker, as you would if you were holding a knife. The prongs on the stun gun take the place of the blade on a knife.

Hold both prongs on the attacker, with the button pressed, for as long as you are able. He will try to move out of range -- wouldn't you? Or he will become more aggressive, and is likely to grab the arm that is holding it (close to the wrist). He will then attempt to take your stun gun from you. 

Try to touch him with the prongs, on an area that is harder and slower to move, like the body. Not the arms or hands, they can be moved away too quickly.

Remember: If the prongs are not touching your attacker, release the trigger or your stun gun may stop working.

How long do you need to zap

The following is a very basic guideline for how long you will need to zap your attacker. 

One second (one cat and dog) will give him the shock of his life. If however, he has been zapped before, he will not be as startled, because he will be somewhat used to the feeling. He will however, be VERY upset with you for zapping him.

A two or three second zap (one cat and dog, two cat and dog, three cat and dog) will cause his muscles to start going into workout overload. They will be doing far more exercise than they were designed for, and therefore, start to fatigue. He will also feel a little dizzy.

At the four or five second mark, you should start to see a downward turn in your attacker's well-being. Five seconds is a long time in an attack situation (one cat and dog, two cat and dog, three cat and dog, four cat and dog, five cat and dog).

If your attacker has selected his victim correctly, you probably won't be able to keep it on him for the 5 seconds, or more, needed to cause him to go down to the ground.

It will take between 3 and 30 minutes for the attacker to recover, leaving no permanent damage. If the attacker doesn't have a heart attack, there will be no long-term physical problems.

Conclusion

There are a lot of variables or things that can go wrong when an untrained person tries to use a weapon for self-defense. Remember that five seconds is a long time to be standing there zapping an attacker. He won't like it and will do something about it!
