Stun Batons are a great self defense weapon when you want to keep an attacker away from you and not let them get close. Stun batons pack a high voltage punch and can be intimidating looking.
If confronted by an attacker very often all you have to do to deter him is to test fire the stun baton. Seeing the electrical charge and hearing the loud crackling of electricity will make him think it is not a good idea to approach you any closer. He might decide to turn away and find an easier target. Keeping him a safe distance from you is the key.
With any self defense product, be it a stun gun, pepper spray or a TASER, the last thing you want to occur is to have an attacker take your self defense weapon from you and use it on you! Not good.
That is why you should look at all of the features of a stun baton before you purchase it. One good feature is to have not only the tip of the stun baton be charged but also the entire top 6 inches or so charged. By having this feature if the attacker goes to grab it from you, and you are pressing the button, he will receive a disabling shock and let go right away.
A stun baton that comes with a wrist strap and disabling pin is very useful. The disabling pin is attached to the wrist strap. The disabling pin, once removed from the stun baton, stops the stun baton from firing. Always make sure you have the disabling pin inserted and the wrist strap on your wrist. If he does pry it out of your hands the disabling pin becomes dislodged and renders the stun feature useless.
"How long of a stun baton should I buy?" Of course the answer depends on how you expect to have to use it. One good alternative is to look at an expandable stun baton. These new models are terrific because when in a closed position they are a very comfortable 12 inches long. About the size of a closed compact umbrella. When you need it you simply press one little button and you will see it extend to more than 20 inches! Comfortable to carry and very easy to use.
Using a stun baton to ward off a dog attack is one other great use of this self defense weapon. If you do a lot of walking you have probably been confronted by either one or two vicious dogs. Keeping them a safe distance away from you can be a problem. One tap with your stun baton will send them on their way to find a place to lick their wounds! They will not be bothering you anymore. - 31373
