I believe that possessing non-lethal weapons are very important. That is, if you have made up your mind to never become a victim in this ruthless society. There are real and crucial reasons self defense for women products are important.
Allow me to enlighten you with a brief true story that has recently occurred in my family. My cousin had a boy friend that came over one night and he was drunk. They began to argue, then he began to beat on her.
Not having any form of protection, she drastically pulled a knife on him. Thankfully no one was seriously injured, but something surprisingly occurred when the police officers arrived on the scene.
The police not only arrested the male involved but also the woman who had pulled the knife. She was arrested and sat in jail for two days. The male was also locked up and still resides there today as I write this article. But why was the female locked up? She was only pursuing her protection.
I will tell you why; a knife is a lethal weapon – someone could have been killed that night. Sure enough what the male did was wrong but did it merit a death sentence. Just think about it; if she had possessed a non-lethal weapon this nightmare could have ended before it was even started.
What I like about non-lethal weapons are not only are they preventive measures but they avoid the tragedy of death that easily results from rage, fury, or hysteria. The sorrow and grief of snatching someone’s life out of existence, even if they were at fault, far out ways the pain they may have caused you; in most cases anyway.
Most people are not out to end a life in exchange for their safety, they much rather have the situation handled or prevented all together. I’m sure my cousin would have much rather stopped the situation that night than to let herself be drawn into a bitter rage, and have two days in jail to show for it.
Women please take care of yourself, carry some kind of non-lethal weapon, and promote self defense for women; escape the drastic drama.
Approximately thirteen million people (approximately 5% of the U.S. population) are victims of crime every year. So how can you protect yourself in the 21st Century? Well, handguns are lethal weapons that do stop criminals, though they have severe ramifications. Not only could you be charged with a serious crime, most states prevent carrying a weapon without a permit of some kind, if one is available at all. Most of the time, you are breaking many laws by carrying a loaded weapon with you.
There are many types of non-lethal self defense weapons; defensive sprays, tasers, knives, alarms, batons, and a wide variety of stun guns in many shapes, sizes, and voltages. This article will focus on stun guns.
What is a stun gun?
A stun gun is a hand-held, battery-powered or electrically charged device that is designed to deliver a strong electric shock to stop an attacker. There not guns in the traditional sense because they don’t shoot bullets; rather, they shoot electricity into an attacker. A stun gun has two prongs at the end of the device. Touching an attacker with the prongs while you pull the trigger will cause a strong electrical current to go from the prongs through the attacker’s clothes into his body.
Pressing the prongs on the stun gun against a person will quickly immobilize an attacker by causing an intense pain and complete loss of muscle control. However, because they operate at low amperage, no serious or permanent injury is inflicted on the attacker; they will just be immobilized for 5-60 minutes depending on how long they were stunned. Stun guns are used by police departments, security agencies, and individuals desiring strong non-lethal protection against attack. They have been proven to be an excellent defensive device. They operate on one to three 9-volt batteries and range from 50,000 volts to 1,000,000 volts.
How does a stun gun work?
The stun gun uses high voltage and low amperage to affect the muscular and neural systems of the human body. They does not rely on high amperage or pain for results, rather most stun guns operate on milliamps. It feels like getting hit in the funny bone x 10,000. The stun gun dumps its energy into the muscles at a high pulse frequency. This makes the muscles contract rapidly, which results in energy loss, which depletes your muscles of needed blood sugars. The attacker cannot produce energy for his muscles, and exhausted, his body is unable to function properly for up to sixty minutes. The resulting energy loss makes it difficult to move and function. This causes disorientation and loss of balance, leaving the attacker in a passive and confused condition. Still there is no significant effect on the heart and other organs.
When the attacker’s neuromuscular system is overwhelmed and controlled by the stun gun he loses his balance. Just a 1/4 second contact will repel and startle the attacker, giving intense pain and muscle contraction. One to two seconds will cause intense pain, muscle spasms and a dazed mental state; this may drop the attacker to the ground. Over three seconds will cause intense pain, loss of balance and muscle control mental confusion, and disorientation. Generally any charge over three seconds will cause the aggressor to fall to the ground. The aggressor will be unable to recover for several minutes and effects may last for up to fifteen minutes. This gives you plenty of time to run for help.
