Stun Guns
A stun gun is a handheld electronic device that delivers a high-voltage, low-amperage electrical shock to temporarily incapacitate an attacker. When pressed against an assailant, it disrupts muscle control and causes disorientation, giving you precious seconds to escape danger. People carry stun guns because they provide powerful protection without permanent harm—no bullets, no bloodshed, just effective defense you can feel confident using.

Listen, I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about choosing the right stun gun. No fluff, no BS—just the straight truth about how these devices work and which one you should buy.
How Stun Guns Actually Work
Here's what happens when you press a stun gun against an attacker:
The device generates a high-voltage electrical charge—typically between 1 million and 10 million volts—but here's the thing most people don't understand: voltage isn't what stops an attacker. It's the amperage (measured in milliamps) that does the work. Stun guns use very low amperage (usually around 3-4 milliamps), which is enough to disrupt the nervous system without causing permanent damage.
When you make contact with an assailant, the electrical charge dumps into their muscles. It causes involuntary muscle contractions, disrupts the signals between the brain and muscles, and creates immediate disorientation. The attacker loses muscle control, balance, and coordination for 5-10 minutes.
The key components:
Transformer circuit converts battery power into high voltage
Oscillator creates the electrical pulse pattern
Electrodes (usually two prongs) deliver the charge
Safety switch prevents accidental discharge
Rechargeable battery powers everything
Most quality stun guns require 3-5 seconds of contact for maximum effectiveness, though even 1 second will make an attacker think twice about continuing.
Types of Stun Guns: Which Design Is Right for You?
We carry every major stun gun design, and each has specific advantages.
Flashlight Stun Guns
These are the most popular for everyday carry. You get a fully functional LED flashlight that's bright enough for walking the dog or finding your keys, plus the stun gun is built right into the body. Nobody thinks twice when they see you carrying a flashlight.
Best for: Dog walkers, night shift workers, anyone who wants an everyday carry device that doesn't scream "weapon."
Pros: Dual purpose, very bright LEDs (120+ lumens), rechargeable, substantial deterrent effect Cons: Larger than mini models, heavier weight
These compact powerhouses measure 3-5 inches and fit in your pocket, purse, or palm. Don't let the size fool you—many deliver just as much stopping power as full-size models.
Best for: Anyone prioritizing concealment, joggers, college students, compact car storage.
Pros: Ultra-portable, easy to conceal, fits in small purse, keychain attachment Cons: Smaller grip, lower battery capacity, less reach
Designed to look exactly like a smartphone, these disguised devices give you the element of surprise. An attacker sees a phone, not a weapon—and that split-second of confusion is your advantage.
Best for: Urban environments, situations where visible weapons aren't appropriate, ultimate concealment.
Pros: Complete disguise, element of surprise, USB rechargeable, fits naturally in hand Cons: Can be confused with your actual phone, may not be legal in all areas
These extended-reach devices measure 12-24 inches long and put serious distance between you and a threat. Most models have stun capability along the entire shaft, plus a strike-plate tip.
Best for: Security guards, home defense, vehicle defense, anyone who wants maximum reach.
Pros: Maximum standoff distance, can be used as impact weapon, multiple contact points, intimidating Cons: Not concealable, requires two hands, won't fit in purse
Check out Stun Batons for extended-reach protection.
Rechargeable vs. Battery-Powered Models
Almost all modern stun guns are rechargeable with built-in charging ports (usually USB or standard wall plug). Battery-powered models are becoming rare.

How to Choose the Right Stun Gun
Here's how to narrow down your choices without getting overwhelmed:
Start With Your Carry Method
This is the most important decision. How will you actually carry this device?
In your purse? Mini or cell phone style works perfectly
On your belt? Get a holster-compatible model or flashlight style
In your pocket? Mini stun gun with safety switch is essential
In your hand while walking? Flashlight stun gun makes perfect sense
In your car? Baton or full-size flashlight model for maximum effect
At home for defense? Stun baton gives you standoff distance
Consider Your Strength and Hand Size
Be honest about your grip strength. A device you can't hold confidently is useless.
Smaller hands: Mini models or slimmer flashlight designs
Larger hands: Full-size flashlight or baton models
Arthritis or weak grip: Models with wrist strap and textured grips
Maximum control needed: Two-handed baton-style devices
Power Requirements (Voltage vs. Amperage)
Here's what the industry won't tell you: voltage is mostly marketing. A 10 million volt stun gun isn't necessarily more effective than a 2 million volt model. What matters is amperage (milliamps) and the quality of the electrical circuit.
Look for:
Minimum 2 million volts (anything less is too weak)
At least 3 milliamps output
Quality brands with consistent reviews
Most of our models range from 10-100 million volts. That's the sweet spot.
Beginner vs. Advanced Considerations
First-time buyers should start with:
Simple, foolproof designs (flashlight or basic mini)
Built-in safety switches
Bright LED indicators showing charge status
Wrist strap or disable pin (prevents use against you)
Experienced users might want:
Multiple stun points along device body
Longer batons for extended reach
Dual-mode options (stun and alarm)
Budget Guidelines
Quality stun guns range from $20-$80:
$20-$35: Basic mini models, entry-level protection
Don't go cheaper than $20. Those gas station stun guns are toys. Spend at least $30 if you want something that actually works when your life depends on it.

Legal Considerations
Stun guns are legal in most states, but not all of them. Before you buy, you need to know your local laws.
States with restrictions:
Hawaii – Illegal for civilian possession
Rhode Island – Illegal for civilian possession
U.S. Virgin Islands – Prohibited
Some cities and counties have local restrictions even in states where they're legal. Most states require you to be 18 years or older to purchase. Even where legal, you can't carry them in schools, government buildings, or airports.
This is critical information, so we created a comprehensive guide. Read our complete Stun Gun Laws by State guide for detailed information about your specific location, carrying requirements, and use restrictions.
How to Use a Stun Gun Effectively
Having a stun gun doesn't make you safe. Knowing how to use it makes you safe.
Basic technique: Hold it firmly, aim for large muscle groups (thigh, shoulder, abdomen), press the electrodes firmly against the attacker, hold the trigger for 3-5 seconds, then back away immediately and call police. Stun guns work through clothing, so don't worry about direct skin contact.
Important safety rules:
Test fire monthly pointed away from people and electronics
Keep the safety on when not in immediate use
Never demonstrate it on friends
Only use in immediate physical danger
We've put together a complete training guide that covers proper technique, target areas, safety precautions, and when to use (and when NOT to use) your stun gun. Read our full How to Use a Stun Gun guide for detailed instructions and safety protocols.
Maintenance and Care
These devices are reliable, but they need basic maintenance to work when you need them.
Essential maintenance:
Test fire monthly for 1-2 seconds to verify it's working
Recharge every 2-3 months even if unused
Store in a dry, room-temperature location
Clean electrode tips with rubbing alcohol quarterly
Most quality stun guns last 5-10 years with proper care. Our lifetime warranties cover manufacturing defects.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stun Guns
Will a stun gun stop an attacker who's on drugs?
Usually yes, but not always. Stun guns work by disrupting muscle function through electrical interference—they don't rely on pain compliance. Even someone who can't feel pain will still lose muscle control when their nervous system is overwhelmed. That said, people under the influence of certain drugs (like PCP or methamphetamine) may have increased tolerance. A 3-5 second application is essential, and you should always have an escape plan.
Can I accidentally shock myself while using a stun gun?
No. The electrical charge does not transfer back through the attacker's body to you. You can safely maintain contact with the attacker while delivering the shock without being affected. That said, don't deliberately touch the electrodes—the charge goes where it's supposed to go.
Will a stun gun work through heavy clothing?
Yes, stun guns work through most clothing including jeans, jackets, and shirts. Very thick winter coats may reduce effectiveness slightly, but won't completely prevent the charge from working. The key is firm contact and holding the trigger for 3-5 seconds instead of 1-2 seconds.
How long does the effect last after someone is stunned?
The immediate incapacitation lasts 5-15 minutes depending on the duration of contact and the person's body mass. However, you shouldn't wait around—the moment they're incapacitated, create distance and call police immediately. The effects are temporary and cause no permanent damage.
What's the difference between a stun gun and a TASER?
A TASER shoots projectile probes up to 15-25 feet. A stun gun requires direct contact—you have to press it against the attacker. TASERs can stop a threat from a distance, but they're significantly more expensive ($400-$1,500 vs. $20-$80), require cartridge replacement after each use, and face stricter legal restrictions in many areas.
Do stun guns require any permits or registration?
In most states, no. Stun guns don't require permits, licenses, or registration like firearms do. However, a few states have specific requirements—Illinois requires a Firearm Owner's Identification Card (FOID) to possess a stun gun, for example. Always verify your local laws before purchasing. Check our Stun Gun Laws by State guide for details.
How many times can I use a stun gun before recharging?
Most rechargeable stun guns provide 50-100 one-second activations per charge. Since self-defense applications typically require 3-5 seconds of contact, you're looking at 10-30 uses before needing to recharge. The bigger concern is passive battery drain—even unused stun guns should be recharged every 2-3 months to maintain readiness.
What voltage stun gun do I need?
Here's the truth: voltage primarily overcomes resistance (like clothing), but amperage (milliamps) is what actually stops an attacker. Any quality stun gun above 2 million volts with at least 3-4 milliamps is effective. Don't get hung up on voltage numbers—focus on buying a reputable brand with good reviews. Our models typically range from 4-10 million volts, which is the proven effective range.
