Flashlight Stun Gun Provides Protection for Young Adults

Whereas young adults bound for college used to reach for pepper spray, many are now reaching for stun guns instead. As the incidence of campus violence has increased, so has the need for more powerful protection and that need is being met by cleverly packaged stun guns.

The flashlight stun gun is developing quite a track record as a concealable, easy to use, dual purpose weapon. Especially preferred by women who must head for their vehicles after dark, the flashlight stun gun not only lights the way, but it is designed to be an easy carry. When faced with an advancing threat, the conveniently located switches turn it into a powerful, but non lethal weapon.

Men and women alike find the holster a good way to keep the flashlight stun gun close to hand. Savvy electronics engineers have gone to great lengths in placing the safety switch and triggering mechanisms so they will not be confused and are easy to use. The contact probes are on the front end, on either side of the surprisingly bright lamp. With the light on it is even easier to hit your target.

When a bad guy tries to get a grip, use your element of surprise. The advantage is that the would-be assailant will likely be trying to get a good grip on your body or on something you are holding. That’s when you press the probes against his forearm or wrist and deliver the debilitating shock.

What the shock buys you is a short period of time during which you can escape. Take advantage of the opening. Leave the area, go for help if you like, but leave. That window of opportunity could save your life.
