Although a TASER® may be called a type of stun gun, it is different enough in design to be excluded here.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beginnings&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The history of the stun gun is not a single birth but a series of developments. Electric cattle prods have been used since the 1940s to motivate cattle to go where the rancher wants them to go. There are numerous patents during the 1970s concerning devices designed to influence animals and repel sharks. During the same period, a couple of patents were issued for stunning devices designed to help patrolmen arrest suspects and control crowds. It's unclear if any of these devices were manufactured in this time frame as described.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An early &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/products/stun-batons/"&gt;stun baton&lt;/a&gt; design is detailed in 1975 patent number 3917268, "Spark gap type electric shock-producing prod" which describes a device close to the modern device. The summary says in part,"An electric shock-producing prod, usable by cattlemen, law enforcement officials, and others, wherein the electrical or electronic circuitry therein consists of a battery-powered oscillator having a coupled output provided with a series-connected spark gap...the oscillator can and will continue to run with the electric-shock contacts of the prod in engagement with the intended, recalcitrant object."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The earliest compact &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com"&gt;stun gun&lt;/a&gt; of conventional design is detailed in patent number US3722788 published March 1973. It describes a small battery operated device of high voltage and low amperage, designed to be worn on the person. Interestingly, this device featured prods that can be extended several inches for easier application.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While previous patents were issued to Americans, two patents in 1989 were awarded to inventors in Taiwan. The one looks much like a modern stun gun. The other is designed more like a pistol with a flashlight, strobe and siren on board. It's not conclusive that either design went into production.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recent Times&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's only been in the last several years that stun guns have hit the news and captured the public's attention. The media is quick to sensationalize stun gun mishaps as perceived safety concerns about stun guns in general. The media might not appreciate that thee devices are not gun shaped at all but rather rectangle appliances that are rather benign in appearance. The amperage of a typical stun gun is quite low, only a few milliamps at best. Voltage is limited by a device's applied voltage and size, typically in the form of one or several 9 volt batteries (or 3 volt lithium cells). Although effective in application, stun guns are not the super powerful weapons that their advertised high voltages would suggest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are occasional news reports of a law enforcement officer causing a captive's death by using a stun gun. Investigation usually turns up inappropriate beatings and attacks against the inmate much more likely to cause death. Police who use these devices are usually trying to subdue out of control individuals who are frequently on high stimulant drugs. These individuals may go quite berserk when facing apprehension and restraint. If that person suffers a cardiac arrest, did the stun gun really cause it or was it one of several participating factors?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are Stun Guns Effective?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Common sense would say yes, a stun gun is an effective crime deterrent. But scientific verification is scarce. Various video sites feature young men stunning their friends. Reactions are quick and most participants drop to their knees with accompanying cries and yelps. The internet itself is awash with scary sounding police incidents and promotional efforts by internet stun gun vendors. It is recognized that for this product to be effective, the batteries must be fresh and the device must remain in contact with the assailant's skin or clothing, preferably for several seconds or more. Whether an attacker would sit still for this administration is a question impossible to answer. It is known that some assailants will run away when confronted with the zapping and sparking from an activated stun gun even before the appliance has been applied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Future of Stun Guns&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stun guns have gotten more powerful in recent years. Indeed, marketers are advertising voltages up to one million volts and beyond. Take these readings with a grain of salt especially if these new models use the same battery power as lower powered ones. Besides, stun guns are a non-lethal crime deterrent and they should stay that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two new designs that offer a more secure grip have recently appeared on the market. The ZAPTD &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/double-trouble-stun-gun.html"&gt;Double Trouble stun gun&lt;/a&gt; features a slim vertical design with a handle grip not unlike a joystick. The electrodes protrude at either end with five inches between them. This creates a larger shock potential of 1.2 million volts, claims the manufacturer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ZAPBK950 &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/knuckle-blaster-stun-gun.html"&gt;Knuckle Blaster stun gun&lt;/a&gt; features a black molded design with a wrap-around grip similar to brass knuckles. The device has a soft rubber skin and is sized to accommodate all hand sizes. The manufacturer claims 950,000 volts of power.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crimes against person and property rise in a falling economy. Predictably, sales of stun guns have taken an uptick in recent months. A stun gun remains a viable and easier alternative to handguns. Stun guns are legal in most states and require no licensing. They are effective with a sustained application may be challenging in a real encounter. Perhaps a totally new technology will be invented that provides a quick sure knock down punch on any size assailant. Higher powered devices, however, could be a double edged sword for consumers. If the device becomes too powerful, it would likely be heavily regulated and reserved for law enforcement only.</description><link>http://www.stungunsupply.com/2008/11/stun-guns-their-history-and-future.html</link><author>stungunsupply@gmail.com (Admin)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6739389474190036084.post-432500005149019045</guid><pubDate>Tue, 28 Oct 2008 19:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-03T15:29:55.081-05:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>stun gun</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>sm-cell</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>cell phone stun gun</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Stun Master stun guns</category><title>Product Review -The SM-CELL Cell Phone Stun Gun</title><description>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Introduction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most popular stun gun models is the &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/stun-master-sm-cell-phone-stun-gunalarmflashlight.html"&gt;Stun Master SM-CELL cell phone stun gun&lt;/a&gt;. This 800,000 volt self defense product contains the stun effect, a bright LED flashlight and a 120db alarm. The unit resembles a cellphone, not the latest ultra slim flip phone but still a convincing simulation of a small cellphone. It measures 4 inches tall, 1 7/8 inches in width at the waist and 1 1/8 inches thick. It is, of course, a self defense product and does not operate as a cell phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Up Close&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The case is silver and the buttons are black. The simulated display is large with a group of icons typical of a cell phone. The black panel above the display reads "Stun Master." The product comes with two CR123A lithium batteries and a nylon holster with belt loop. A black wrist strap is a safety device. Wrap it around your wrist and if your attacker grabs the SM-CELL from you, the strap will detach and the unit will be left completely inoperable. The unit has a limited lifetime warranty.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Operation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The SM-CELL sports four functional buttons above the non-functioning dial buttons. You push the "power" button to turn the unit on. Two red LED lights come on. The "electroshock" button discharges the unit with a spark arcing across the two electrodes. The "alarm" button activates a loud high pitched alarm as long as the button is pressed. The "flashlight" button activates a very bright "white light" three LED flashlight. Pressing the "power" button again turns the unit off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The SM-CELL is certainly full featured. It is the only unit to this reviewer's knowledge that includes both an alarm and a bright LED flashlight. As a bonus, the $59.95 retail price includes two CR123A batteries free. Go to Wal-Mart and these two batteries will cost you about $10.00. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All stun guns operate in the same way. The electrical charge is high in voltage but low in amperage. The high voltage enables the charge to be effective through clothing but the low amperage keeps the unit non-lethal. The units effectiveness varies with the length of application. A 1/2 second will cause some pain and muscular contraction, one to two seconds will cause muscle spasms and a dazed mental state. Three to five seconds will cause loss of balance and a confusion. You will not suffer a charge-back to your own body, so you can feel safe even if your assailant is touching you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The best strike areas on the body are the upper shoulders, lower rib cage and upper hip. A stun gun requires direct body contact to be effective. Pepper spray can be applied from a distance of perhaps 5-8 feet. Consumer Taser darts can be propelled from a distance of up to 15 feet. Unlike pepper spray, stun guns are unaffected by wind. Furthermore, there are reports of an approaching attacker running away when confronted with the arcing snap of a stun gun's electrodes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stun guns are effective self defense products and safe when used in a common sense moderate fashion. The SM-CELL is one of the best &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/products/cell-phone-stun-guns/"&gt;cell phone stun gun&lt;/a&gt; models available with a three-in-one multi-function operation: stun gun, alarm and flashlight. It is an outstanding value in a compact stun gun.</description><link>http://www.stungunsupply.com/2008/10/product-review-sm-cell-cell-phone-stun.html</link><author>stungunsupply@gmail.com (Admin)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6739389474190036084.post-5042623123296363468</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Sep 2008 16:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-22T12:32:14.113-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>tasers</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Taser guns</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>advanced taser</category><title>Carlisle, PA - Taser a Success</title><description>Here's one that almost got by us. And this is in our own back yard! The Carlisle PA Sentinal July 22 article quotes the Carlisle Police Department who said that after several years of use, the &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/advanced-taser-m18-l.html"&gt;Taser gun&lt;/a&gt; can be termed a success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staff writer Heather Stauffer quotes Lt. Mike Dzezinski who said, "By the end of 2007, Carlisle recorded more than 140 Taser deployments, ranging from times when officers obtained compliance merely by displaying the laser sight and warning people to incidents in which they actually fired the probes." He continues,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We’ve had deployments on everything from fleeing felons to public drunk arrestees who wanted to fight,” Dzezinski said. “The biggest benefit of the Taser is it gives us a gap between us and the bad guy.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This comes on the heels of a Pennsylvania State Police announcement that it considered troopers first six months of Taser use a success. Before equipping 3,000 troopers with Tasers at the beginning of this year, state police Commissioner Jeffrey Miller said, state police conducted a two-year study. The results they are seeing reinforce the belief that “the Taser provides an excellent option to the use of deadly force,” Miller said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That Tasers deliver 50,000 volts has been widely reported, Dzezinski said, but many people don’t realize the amperage of the weapon is what really matters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The amperage is very, very low in the Taser,” Dzezinski said, placing it at 0.0036 amps, “actually lower than the socket of a Christmas tree bulb.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The majority of Carlisle officers have taken voluntary Taser exposures to understand what people experience when they fire the probes, Dzezinski said.</description><link>http://www.stungunsupply.com/2008/09/carlisle-pa-taser-success.html</link><author>stungunsupply@gmail.com (Admin)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6739389474190036084.post-5701602042599274386</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-22T11:43:55.696-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>mace pepper spray</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>on-line ordering</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>C2 Taser</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>credit card security</category><title>Security and You</title><description>It's ironic.

She had realized gradually that she was becoming uneasy with approaching strangers, especially if they were in groups of two or more. Nothing had yet happened but she couldn't shake the feeling. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Mary bought a &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/stun-master-sm-300sb-stun-baton.html"&gt;Stun Master SM-300SB stun baton&lt;/a&gt;. She carried this 300,000 volt stun gun in the included belt holster. Nothing untoward happened until six weeks later. Two male teenagers passed by. Soon she realized that they had turned around and were following her. She then heard taunts, "Hey baby, what-cha doin?" and so forth. Mary felt her heart pound against her chest. What to do? As the taunts escalated she made a decision. She turned around, quickly saw no draw weapons, put her hand on the holster and said, "Stop right there. I have a weapon. Scram!" And, lo and behold, they did. They thought for moment, turned around and quickly walked away. Mary repelled her attackers without even removing the stun baton from its holster. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This scene is repeated time and again across America. Women are taking control of their lives and taking a stand against personal crime. Yes there is risk in any altercation. But passively hoping everything will turn out OK is self delusion. It's a mind set. You can picture yourself a victim and act accordingly. Or you can imagine a confident you who is actively in control of the situation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can choose from stun batons, stun guns, Tasers, &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/manufacturer/mace-pepper-sprays/"&gt;Mace pepper spray&lt;/a&gt;, and loud portable alarms. All these items are relatively inexpensive and are proven effective if used properly. So if you purchase a self defense weapon, PRACTICE! Don't leave your "get acquainted" time until an actual attack. You will be too unnerved. So pump a couple pepper sprays, press the trigger of that stun gun or activate the flying Taser darts. Make sure you aim at an object and not a person. Practice in your head the actual procedure you will use against your attacker, where you will apply the weapon and how long before you flee. This will help you act appropriately and without undue fear in an actual attack.</description><link>http://www.stungunsupply.com/2008/09/stun-baton-in-action.html</link><author>stungunsupply@gmail.com (Admin)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6739389474190036084.post-7655627150926364333</guid><pubDate>Thu, 14 Aug 2008 18:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-13T14:23:29.505-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>tasers</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Taser guns</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>C2 Taser</category><title>Tasers Rate High In Safety</title><description>A study sited in a recent newspaper examines the use of &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/"&gt;Taser stun guns&lt;/a&gt; in Calgary, Canada. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sherri Zickefoose of the Calgary Herald writes that the new study finds batons are batons are causing the greatest rate of injury when used by police during arrests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two-year Calgary study, the first use-of-force examination of its kind in Canada, also found &lt;a href="http://www.stungusnupply.com/"&gt;pepper spray&lt;/a&gt; was the safest tool employed by police to subdue suspects who were resisting arrest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Canadian Police Research Centre report examines 562 cases in which Calgary police used Tasers, pepper spray, batons, unarmed techniques and choke holds -- against people resisting arrest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 14-page study found Tasers "scored high" in safety for both suspects and officers in Calgary. Though they were used in nearly half of all cases involving suspects resisting arrest, one per cent ended up hospitalized and 87 per cent sustained either minor injuries or no injuries, according to the report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Batons, on the other hand, used in roughly five per cent of arrests that required force, caused the greatest rate of higher-level injury. More than 39 per cent of subjects were injured. More than three per cent were hospitalized and nearly 26 per cent required outpatient treatment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The commonly held belief" that Tasers carry "a significant risk of injury or death . . . is not supported by the data," according to the report, researched by Dr. Christine Hall and Calgary use-of-force expert Staff Sgt. Chris Butler. The stun guns are "less injurious than either the baton or empty-hand physical control."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;U.S. agencies are also participating in the larger study, Butler said, because American and Canadian police encounters are surprisingly similar. More Canadian fatality inquiries are highlighting the need for consistent use of force tracking, he said.</description><link>http://www.stungunsupply.com/2008/08/tasers-rate-high-in-safety.html</link><author>stungunsupply@gmail.com (Admin)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6739389474190036084.post-4826627553072706161</guid><pubDate>Wed, 16 Jul 2008 18:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-31T13:36:21.123-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>double trouble stun gun</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Talon_mini_stun_gun</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>stun_gun_voltages</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>stun_guns</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Knuckle_blaster</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>stun_gun</category><title>Varieties of Stun Guns: Choose Your Weapon</title><description>Stun Guns come in many sizes, shapes and voltages. Categorizing these attributes will help you choose an appropriate self defense product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shapes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The prototypical stun gun is rectangular in shape and perhaps 3/4 to one inch thick. Sizes generally increase with voltage power. This is as much as to hold more batteries than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second common shape is one of a cell phone or blackberry. This is the so-called "covert" self defense item where the intent of the device is hidden behind an innocuous shape. These are small enough to fit in a purse or glove compartment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A third shape has recently arrived where the handle is molded into the device. Think of brass knuckles where the administration is straight on. This shape offers a more secure grip which could be crucial in a high stress situation. The &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/knuckle-blaster-stun-gun.html/"&gt;Knuckle Blaster&lt;/a&gt; is a 950,000 volt stun gun that actually resembles brass knuckles (although this one is molded plastic with an outer soft rubber skin.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stun batons are also members of the stun gun family. Consider these high-tech versions of the night stick. They are a natural for a walking patrolman and the night watchman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sizes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the tallest of the rectangle style stun guns is the &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/streetwise-1000k-volt-stun-gun.html/"&gt;Streetwise SW1000&lt;/a&gt;. This 1000K volt stunner measures 8.25 inches x 2 inches x 1 inch. It also features a built-in alarm. It requires three 9 volt batteries to power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the other spectrum, the &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/small-fry-mini-stun-gun.html/"&gt;Small Fry stun gun&lt;/a&gt; may be the smallest battery powered zapper with the biggest wallop. This million volt model measures an amazing 3 1/4 inches x 2 inches x 3/4 inch. This is made possible by the development of lithium batteries. This model Small Fry stun gun takes three button size lithium-ion batteries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stun batons come in either fixed or expandable models. You can keep your attacker at bay with the expandable type which can extend to 21". With your arm out-stretched you can keep an assailant a safer distance away than with a traditional hand held. Common fixed stun baton sizes are 16, 18 and 20 inches. Some models feature an alarm to hopefully scare a would-be intruder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voltages&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stun gun voltages run the gamut from 80,000 volts to 1.2 million volts. Many fall in the 300K to 500K range. At 80K, the &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/talon-mini-compact-stun-gun.html/"&gt;Talon MINI stun gun&lt;/a&gt; is one of the smallest and most affordable models. It measures just 4" tall and has enough power to keep a would-be attacker dazed and confused for several minutes. At the other extreme, the &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/double-trouble-stun-gun.html/"&gt;Double Trouble stun gun&lt;/a&gt; delivers an ultra powerful 1.2 million volts. It's one of the new grip style devices with contacts on either end. This design is responsible for the unit's high power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It must be mentioned that although these defensive products deliver high voltages, the amperage is very low, perhaps only 2-4 milliamps. They're considered reasonable force in resisting attack and are non-lethal. In fact, if you stand around too long watching your handy-work, you could regret it. Recovery time depends upon voltage and the length or series of administrations. But most people will recover in only 4-8 minutes. So run to safety first, not last.</description><link>http://www.stungunsupply.com/2008/07/stun-guns-come-in-many-sizes-shapes-and.html</link><author>stungunsupply@gmail.com (Admin)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6739389474190036084.post-6151937449332539540</guid><pubDate>Wed, 16 Jul 2008 13:51:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-13T15:16:10.477-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Taser</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>stun guns</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>pepper spray</category><title>Greers Ferry AK to Purchase Tasers for Police</title><description>The Heber Springs Sun Times in Arkansas reported that the police chief asked city council to provide Taser for its three full-time police officers and one reserve officer. Police Chief Ray Dearmon said it's a small price to pay for an officer's safety. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Taser is used as a last-ditch effort," Dearmon said. "I'd rather shoot you with a Taser than I would a gun." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dearmon told the council that all officers would require certification to carry and use the Tasers. He also said that he would require each officer to be Tased before they can carry the weapon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If an officer is unsure of what exactly that piece of equipment will do, he won't use it properly," Dearmon said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The chief told the council that there have been at least three times in recent memory when a Taser could have kept local officers from drawing their guns and shooting. He also said a Taser would have been handy during a recent situation in which a strung-out driver refused to exit his car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The guy was sprayed twice with pepper spray, and it had no effect on him," Dearmon said. "It took four officers to pull him out of the vehicle."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the latest in a nationwide move to equip police officers with the non-lethal device.</description><link>http://www.stungunsupply.com/2008/07/greers-ferry-az-to-puchase-tasers-for.html</link><author>stungunsupply@gmail.com (Admin)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6739389474190036084.post-7502375243805149350</guid><pubDate>Tue, 08 Jul 2008 15:32:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-11T11:49:22.953-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Advanced Taser M18L</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Taser guns</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Taser gun</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Tazer</category><title>Up Close Review: M18L Advanced Taser</title><description>The Taser M18L Advanced Taser is a popular consumer model produced by Taser International. This model sports a laser sight to help with aim. (You can buy this model without the laser sight in the &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/advanced-taser-m18.html"&gt;Advanced Taser M18&lt;/a&gt;.) The M18L package includes four cartridges, a battery pack (4 x 1.5 volt AA), an operating manual, a practice target poster and Citizen Training CD. It comes housed in a hard black poly case with integrated handle. It is made in the US. There is a 30 day money back guarantee, 90 day product warranty, and a lifetime replacement warranty if it is left activated next to an assailant.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;First, let’s clear some misconceptions. A stun gun is a “contact” device meaning the contacts must be applied directly to the perpetrator to be effective. This model can function as a contact stun gun with or without a cartridge. But that is only a backup feature. A Taser is a device that when activated propels two small probes attached to insulated electrical wires. These attach to an attacker’s clothing or skin. The device sends electrical pulses through the wires that disrupt the motor and sensory systems. This incapacitates the subject allowing time to flee.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Taser has gained wide law enforcement acceptance throughout the world. Injuries are much less than with firearms. Effects are temporary. The device is not without its detractors but is relatively safe when used in a responsible manner. It is virtually impossible for even an out-of-control perpetrator to over-ride the effects. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Taser M18, unlike most stun guns, actually looks like gun. The high impact black polycarbonate gun is set off with a mid gun yellow accent. The safety switch has a lock and armed position. The dimensions with cartridge are 8.30” long, 6” high and 1.75” wide. It weighs 19.2 ounces without the cartridge. It has a battery LED indicator. There is a molded mechanical sight it addition to the laser sight. The M18L has a range of fifteen feet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depressing and releasing the trigger will result in a five-second discharge unless the safety switch is moved to the down (SAFE) position. Holding the trigger switch for more than 5 seconds will result in a continuous discharge until the trigger switch is released, or until the batteries are depleted. Normally, aim the laser of the device at one of the large muscle groups (center of mass) such as the torso or thigh areas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/advanced-taser-m18-l.html"&gt;Taser M18L Advanced Taser&lt;/a&gt; retails for $599.00 (Stun Gun Supply may be offering a discount). A model with two cartridges and without the laser site sells for $399.00. The latest model is the &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/manufacturer/advanced-air-taser/"&gt;Taser C2&lt;/a&gt; which comes in eight colors as well as black. This sleek model has a smaller profile than the M18 and appeals to women with smaller hands. Pricing starts at $299.00 (Stun Guns Supply may be offering a discount). The Taser X-26C is also available direct to consumers but the high price limits acceptability. Tasers are not legal in all states and municipalities so check this before ordering one.</description><link>http://www.stungunsupply.com/2008/07/up-close-review-m18l-advanced-taser.html</link><author>stungunsupply@gmail.com (Admin)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6739389474190036084.post-8323824236504223202</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Jul 2008 14:35:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-11T11:48:27.924-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>stun gun</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>stun guns</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>pepper spray</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Taser gun</category><title>News Article Notes Rising Non-Lethal Weapons Purchases</title><description>&lt;span class="story-byline"&gt;A recent news story in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="story-titleline"&gt;South Florida Sun-Sentinel documents the rising sales of stun guns and pepper spray. News writers &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="story-byline"&gt;Brian Haas and Maria Chercoles quote several sources as saying the popularity of these "less-lethal" defensive weapons is on the rise. The chief reason, they assert, is that citizens want self defense products against crime but are uncomfortable with lethal weapons where they may have to kill someone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;"They want something in the middle. A big part of our society is that way," said Jeff Dillard, president of National Law Enforcement Distributors in Davie. "There's not a day that goes by when we don't have four or five customers come in here discussing this."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After noting that both electric stun guns and pepper spray are legal in Florida, they then list the pros and cons of both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pepper Spray:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pepper spray is inexpensive and comes in several forms including the popular "disguised" models that look like pens, lipstick or pagers. Dillard likes pepper spray because it incapacitates an attacker for up to an hour left untreated. Drawbacks include possible blow-back during high winds. Also, there have been reported cases of some individuals fighting through the pain and discomfort.  This makes a case for buying the strongest available such as &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/manufacturer/wildfire-18-pepper-sprays/"&gt;Wildfire 18% pepper spray.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stun Guns:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robert J. Leitner, chief operating officer of Tactical Products Group in Delray Beach prefers stun guns. "You only need a second or two to touch the assailant and it also has a powerful deterrent," Leitner said. "In our experience, criminals fear them more than pepper sprays." Limiations here are the on-person contact that is required. Plus the effects don't last as long as pepper spray.&lt;br /&gt;But often a display of the arcing electrodes is enough to thwart an attack. Stun guns are also inexpensive with models starting at about $20.  &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/products/cell-phone-stun-guns/"&gt;Cell phone stun guns&lt;/a&gt; are perhaps the most popular "disguised" models.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tasers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The newest "less-lethal" device, Tasers shoot two electrified wires with barbs on the end. They lodge on the perpetrators clothing or skin and fire automatically for 30 seconds. Shooting range is about 15 feet. &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/manufacturer/advanced-air-taser/"&gt;Taser International &lt;/a&gt;spokesman Steve Tuttle says it has none of the disadvantages of stun guns or pepper spray. "I don't want to get one foot away from them and try to apply something to them directly," Tuttle said. "Place it on the ground, let it do the work for you and get to safety."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The authors end their article by warning that these weapons are not toys and must be used safely.  If you purchase one, you should treat it as a firearm: realize that it is a weapon and make sure to keep it far from the reach of children. Dillard also warned against storing pepper spray inside a car. The Florida sun can weaken the seal and cause leakage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="story-byline"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</description><link>http://www.stungunsupply.com/2008/07/news-article-notes-rising-non-lethal.html</link><author>stungunsupply@gmail.com (Admin)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6739389474190036084.post-2111991104675078254</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 Jun 2008 18:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-11T11:47:21.837-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>stun gun</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>stun guns</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>stun baton</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>SM-Flex</category><title>Review of the Stun Master SM-FLEX Telescopic Stun Baton</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Stun Master Telescopic Stun Baton SM-FLEX is designed to repel attackers by the touch of the device on any part of the body. It's in a class of self-defense products known as non-lethal deterrents. The manufacturer claims it will transmit it's shock effect through 1/2 inch of clothing. It is rated at 800,000 volts which puts it at the upper echelon of power. These and all other stun devices rely upon high voltage to overcome the resistance of the human body and low amperage to keep the administration safe and the effects temporary.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/stun-master-telescopic-stun-baton.html"&gt;Stun Master Telescopic Stun Baton&lt;/a&gt; is a rechargeable unit that comes with a plug-in re-charger. It also includes an integrated flashlight and alarm as well as a holster with belt loop. The manufacturer recommends letting the device run down before re-charging. The unit carries a life-time warranty.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/products/stun-batons/"&gt;stun baton&lt;/a&gt; closed is 12 3/4 inches long. The widest part is at the integrated light which is 2 3/4 inches across. The circumference of the shaft at its base is 5 inches. Fully extended, the baton measures 21.5 inches. The unit weighs just over one pound. The baton is black with two chrome side rails along the shaft. The expanded telescopic part is in three sections, each bit smaller so they nestle inside each other when collapsed. The handle is ridged for a positive grip.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The three controls on the baton are easily accessed when holding it. There is a rocker switch which arms and disarms the unit. By your index finger is a ridged oval switch which serves double duty. You press this to first expand the baton. It expands quickly with a decided snap. Then this switch will activate the stun effect as long as you hold it down. The third switch by your thumb turns on the flashlight in the first position. Push it further and the siren goes off. The flashlight is bright and the siren gives off a very piercing wail. For safety, there is a small plastic set piece lying in this switch canal. You must remove this to operate the switch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You collapse the unit by pushing in on the shafts till it seats. It's all very well thought out. That's a good thing because you don't want to be hampered by a poor design when you have to react in a hurry under duress. Also noteworthy is the fact that the full length of the metal rails is electrified. If the attacker tries to grab the Telescopic Stun Baton from you, he will be shocked. The shock will not transfer to you if the attacker is touching you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The included black vinyl holster is a thoughtful addition. The collapsed shaft end goes into the holster while a Velcro loop above fastens around the base of the handle. Because the unit is so light, a night watchman or security guard could wear this around a belt with no discomfort.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a handsome unit with impressive features. Expandable/collapsible stun batons have an advantage over hand held rectangular stun devices. With those you must be very close to your attacker to apply the charge. (Hand-helds are typically 6-8 inches tall.) With a maximum range of 21.5 inches and with an outstretched arm, you could repel your assailant from 3 to 4 feet from your body. That's a distinct tactical advantage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.stungunsupply.com/2008/06/review-of-stun-master-sm-flex.html</link><author>stungunsupply@gmail.com (Admin)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6739389474190036084.post-73979698286836887</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-10T15:47:13.286-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>double trouble stun gun</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>knuckle blaster</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>nanny cam</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>baby cam</category><title>Three Exciting New Products</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/uploaded_images/kuckleblastTN-717138.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.stungunsupply.com/uploaded_images/kuckleblastTN-717135.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've just gotten in two new stun guns that we're sure will revolutionize the design of these popular self-defense tools. The first, &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/knuckle-blaster-stun-gun.html"&gt;Knuckle Blaster stun gun&lt;/a&gt;, features an ergonomic soft skin design that will comfortably fit any size hand. You can release the safety switch and quickly fire with just the one hand. This follows the trend of higher power levels at 950,00 volts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there is the new &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/double-trouble-stun-gun.html"&gt;Double Trouble&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/double-trouble-stun-gun.html"&gt; stun gun&lt;/a&gt;.  It features a similar "in your hand" design but this one adds a new "wide gap" contact spread. The wider the contacts, the more power develops. The safety is right on top with a handy LED.  The package comes with a wrist strap, carrying case and free batteries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you need to keep an eye on a distant room in your home?  Looking for an good quality but inexpensive baby cam?  Then go right to the &lt;a href="http://www.stungunsupply.com/product/wireless-camera-baby-monitor-tv.html"&gt;Wireless Camera Baby Monitor TV&lt;/a&gt;. It features a 5.5" B&amp;amp;W monitor and a wide angle camera that will broadcast pictures even in  low light. Oh, yes, did we say it's wireless. Easy set-up and operation.  As usual, we've got this priced to move!</description><link>http://www.stungunsupply.com/2008/06/three-exciting-new-products.html</link><author>stungunsupply@gmail.com (Admin)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6739389474190036084.post-1971160122872414699</guid><pubDate>Fri, 30 May 2008 19:30:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-10T15:44:57.746-04:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>self defense articles</category><title>Don't Forget Our Self-Defense Articles</title><description>In our upper right menu bar where you found this blog, don't forget to check out our "Self-Defense Articles."
