Glenwood Springs, CO (IPRWIRE) Mon. Oct. 6th, 2008 — Stun guns and pepper spray are becoming the most popular methods of self defense and Colorado based BodyGuardX, www.bodyguardx.com has taken notice. They offer a large range of self-defense products that are helping to keep people safe and give them peace of mind.

Manual De La Paz, owner of BodyGuardX, states that whenever he watches the news he is made aware of how many people are in need of his product. Not only is man on man violence occurring all the time, there are also numerous reports of people being attacked by animals. Carrying an item such as a taser or pepper spray can help protect against instances such as these without doing any actual harm to the target of these weapons.

Stun guns are electrical self-defense weapons that use high voltage to temporarily disable an attacker. By touching a person with the prongs of a stun gun, you can quickly immobilize an attacker long enough for you to be able to get away safely. And, since stun guns have very low amperage, no serious or permanent injury will be inflicted.

Stun guns are an excellent self defense solution for anyone who is looking for a non-lethal method of self defense. Stun guns can be quite affordable to purchase and using a stun gun is relatively easy to do. However, it is very important to understand how to properly use a stun gun to help ensure your own safety and the effectiveness of immobilizing an attacker. If a stun gun is used incorrectly, you may only succeed in aggravating rather than immobilizing an attacker.

Start off by familiarizing yourself with all of the different parts of the particular stun gun you have purchased. Since all stun guns are different, it is important to obtain a basic understanding of all the basic parts on your stun gun model. First, you should locate where the test probes and the contact probes are on your stun gun and always remember: do not touch them! This is the most hazardous part of the stun gun and it should never be played with or touched. Next, you should locate the on/off safety switch on your stun gun. Click the switch back and forth from the off position to the on position a few times to get the feel of how the switch works. You want to be able to do this quickly in case you need to use it in an attack situation. You should also inspect your stun gun and locate where the trigger and battery cover are. The battery and battery cover are usually located on the bottom of most stun gun models. Take the battery out and replace it a couple times to make sure it is inserted properly and is also fully charged. Take your stun gun in your hand, making sure that both the test probes and the contact probes are facing away from you. Conduct a test by moving the on/off switch of the stun gun into the on position and press the trigger to watch the sparks fly.

Knowing how to properly activate stun guns is only one important element in your self defense success. The remainder of your success is totally dependent upon how well you are able to use your stun gun. The location on the attacker’s body where you apply the stun gun and the length of time you are able to apply it are also important factors. The results are typically best if you try to aim for a soft, uncovered area on the attacker’s body. You should hold down the trigger for a minimum of three to five seconds to effectively immobilize the attacker. You just need the attacker to be incapacitated long enough for you to be able to get away quickly and safely.

Remember, it is important to know how to safely and effectively use your stun gun just in case the time comes when you need to use it!
