Stun Guns OUCHIE!

SCORPION STUN GUN/PEPPER SPRAY


A stun gun is a hand held, electrical self-defense mechanism that uses high voltage to stop an attacker. Woo Hoo! Touching a person with the little prongs on the gun quickly immobilizes the assailant by causing intense pain and loss of muscle control. Another Woo Hoo!

However, because the amperage is very low, no serious or lasting injury is inflicted. Police departments, security agencies, and individuals desiring protection against attack use stun guns. They have been proven an excellent defensive device as they have absurd stopping power and yet remain non-lethal. Typically, they operate on one or two 9-volt batteries and range from 65,000 volts to 500,000 volts. OUCH!! Well what a lot of people do not know is that stun guns are illegal to have and carry in some States. Bummer!
So for your information, I have compiled a list of countries, states and cities where having one is against the law.

STATES WHERE STUN GUNS ARE RESTRICTED:
INDIANA
HAWAII
MASSACHUSETTS
MICHIGAN (DAMN IT, I REALLY WANT ONE!)
NEW JERSEY
NEW YORK

So basically if you live ANYWHERE you cant have one LOL, if you don’t live in any of the above countries, states or cities then you can learn more about the different varieties available and what kind of damage can be done with this nifty little tool at this website Stun Guns . I really wish I could purchase one but I guess I will have to stick with other self defense mechanisms.
