You might not think that something as small as a pen can be an effective self defense device. But thats exactly what a stun pen does. It offers a discreet way to carry a form of personal protection so no one knows you are armed until the need arises where you have to defend yourself against an attacker.
You do not want to become a statistic, as it has been shown that there are over 1.3 million crimes against the person in each year in the United States. These include forcible rape, robberies, aggravated assaults and even car jackings and it is important for you to be protected at all times. Numerous types of self-defense devices are available, and none cause permanent damage or injury, but they will all incapacitate your attacker so that you can get away.
For such a small item, the stun pen delivers big-time. The pen can provide an 800,000 volt shock to an attacker, which is quite enough to temporarily disable him and enable you to escape.
All portable self-defense devices run on a battery that can be used to temporarily immobilize the bad guy. Make sure that the device is placed directly on the person for at least 5 seconds to release its electrical charge. You will have at least several minutes following this to get away before the shock wears off and the attacker regains mobility.
When you carry a stun pen, you must make sure that it is easily accessible. You will not have time to rummage around to look for it during an attack, so you should carry it either in your purse, in your pocket or on a holster attached to your belt.
A stun pen is available in different styles. There are some that are multi-functional with a built-in LED flashlight. The flashlight also provides a means of disguising the stun gun function for those who prefer not to disclose that they have a self defense device.
Most people realize that they need some kind of self-defense protection, but they do not like the idea of carrying around a weapon. In this case, the stun pen is ideal as it can be carried in the palm of your hand, is very lightweight, has a protective cap and is also equipped with a safety release to prevent accidental discharge.
Little wonder that people are turning to self-defense weapons, when you see and hear about increasing crime in your neighborhood. Make a decision based on the type of device that you are comfortable with and remember that you can turn to the Internet for a wealth of information about your options. After you have learned all the pros and cons of each type, you should make the decision to arm yourself for your protection and avoid becoming a statistic.
