Picture yourself at night, hearing a suspicious noise from the yard. You pick up your flashlight and go out the door, sure it’s just a raccoon trying to get into the trash can again but determined to investigate. When the masked guy in the driveway wanting to break into your car turns and lunges at you, there is a stun and he crumples to the ground. You ease off the trigger on your handy flashlight stun gun and calmly dial 911.

A stun gun is simply the most effective and safe form of home defense there is. The down sides with traditional firearms are numerous, particularly if there are youngsters in the home - you need to keep the firearm unloaded and the ammunition kept separately (which makes it useless as a spur of the moment self defense weapon). An intruder can often take the firearm away from you and shoot you with it if you hesitate to use it, and if you grit your teeth and pull the trigger you have a completely new set of issues to face.

A flashlight stun gun, on the other hand is safe, effective and also ready to hand. You can keep it anyplace where the kids can’t reach it, and it necessitates no more maintenance than an occational charging to keep it definitely ready for duty. You can utilize a stun gun without worrying if you’ll land in a courtroom pleading personal protection afterwards; and if it somehow got taken away from you and you get zapped, at least you’ll still be breathing.

Even if you never have to use the stunner, a flashlight stun gun provides peace of mind and an extra light in the event of emergency or natural disaster.
