FAQ

Can I get arrested for using my stun gun?

No. Stun guns are considered "less lethal" weapons. They cannot inflict serious injury and are therefore considered less deadly.

However, if you accidentally hit someone with your stun gun, you could still face charges.


Which place is best for self-defense training?

The best place to practice self-defense is in your own backyard. If you don't have enough space you can still practice elsewhere.

You could even practice in a vacant parking lot or park. Be aware of where you are and what is around you.

You should never practice alone, this is extremely dangerous. Always practice with your partner.


Which self-defense method is most effective?

Avoiding an attack is the best way to protect yourself. If you are attacked, then run away as fast as possible. This will give you time to think of a better defense strategy.

If you can't escape, you can use the defensive strategies you have learned. These techniques include kicks, punches and knees. You may also attempt to grab the attacker's arms and legs to stop him from attacking you even more.

If none of the options work, you can always fight back using all available means. The best weapon to use for this purpose are your naked hands. But if your hands aren't well-trained, you may need to learn another form of self defense.


How much does a stun gun cost?

A stun gun can cost anywhere from $20 to $100, depending on the model.

Two batteries are included in most models. The batteries are good for around three months.


How effective is pepper spray as self-defense?

Pepper spray can be used for self-defense. It is fast-acting and simple to use. You should still use pepper spray with proper technique.

It is not recommended that pepper spray be used as a first line defense against violent attackers. Call 911 immediately if someone threatens to kill you.
