Apartment Dwellers Buy Stun Guns in Record Numbers

Apartments can be dangerous places.

Just ask anyone who has ventured into the bowels of an apartment building to do his laundry or visit a storage area. It’s often dark, usually secluded, and pretty scary for both men and women.

In an effort to improve their personal safety, record numbers of apartment dwellers in both crime-riddled inner cities and relatively tame suburban areas. For many, simply knowing there is a stun gun at the ready provides a level of safety that was previously unthinkable.

In the past, safety meant something like a baseball bat or a firearm. The new generation of stun guns provides leading edge technology that splits the difference between no protection and a .357 Magnum. The budget price tags and non lethal characteristic of stun guns make them particularly attractive to anyone looking to improve his or her odds in a confrontation.
