if I am touching the attacker when it is discharged, will I also get stuned?

No...their are many scenarios that might allow that to happen, but it is highly unlikely. I have actually held someone and tazed them at the same time without any effect to me.

Probably. I accidentally touched myself with it for only a mini-second and did the herky jerk! Had a super head rush for a while. Blistered and bled too. Just the loud popping noise it makes would probably detour anyone. I trust it.

good questionI believe you will also get shocked electricity travelsbut I believe they will let go want to get hit with it

No you can't. The stun gun has a safety feature where if the light is on, the stun gun won't go off

No, it does not. It comes with a single switch that does two different functions. By sliding the switch forward, the light is on and quite bright; and the gun is disabled even if the red button is pressed. On the contrary, sliding backward to activate the stun-gun with a press of the red button; don't try it next to your pets because they will be panic.

With any stun gun you must touch the attacker. A taser on the other hand shoots out leads a couple feet to hit them. I highly recomend this product as I will explain. I felt and after getting the product, STILL feel safe having this in my wifes hands.... It has a wrist strap so if it is taken away from you it cannot be used ON YOU. It also has a flashlight in it which is a very good "excuse" to have the thing in your hand at all times needed. Keep in mind a taser has leads on it and TO ME (just my opinion) that leaves 2 feet of room for error. This stun gun, although I have not used it on a person, seems to have almost twice the stopping power as most on the market. Im not saying its the right choice for everyone but I am hoping that that clears up confussion between a stun gun and taser???

you have to touch (or be really close to the skin) a part of the attackers body with the metal prongs just like ALL stun guns. this is NOT a taser. the prongs are sharp to penetrate clothing layers,however very thick clothing will prevent the electric arc from reaching the body. it seems to work best when you target a MUSCLE group (like those in the upper body,shoulder pectoral,etc) and NOT a layer of body fat. The arc is hot enough it will burn through clothing (and paper if its thin enough)if its not too thick. i suggest you carry pepper spray (O.C. spray,NOT "mace") for range (stream ,not fog)and have this as "last resort". the pepper spray i carrys contain CS tear gas as well as O.C. and is VERY nasty. the tear gas leaves a cloud to repel multiple attackers that you might not target directly.just make sure you avoid the tear gas cloud after you deploy the spray.

Check the manufacturer's catalog on their website. Stun guns are hand held and activated, so the reach would be the length of your arm. Tasers shoot sharp pointed electrodes connected by wires, so can reach out.

I had this for long time now but to be honest I did not have the gut to try it on myself or test it on someone. You should know that sometimes when you want to stun, it does not work and needs some more presses to start stunning. It is not effective for self defense and might simply get your butt kicked with ur own stun for it not working at that moment :] the light tho is the strongest I have ever experienced with a flashlight that size. I always carry it in my backpack coz u never know if needed a stun, light, or break a glass with it one day..

Most, if not all Police Force products are equipped with 3-postion switch for On, Light, Stun. In addition to placing this switch in the Stun position, you need to press a second button to fire it as a Stun gun. Reasons are (i) so you use all available battery power to create the maximum discharge, and (ii) so you don't zap someone by accident, including yourself.LLA Sales.

The best way to find out is to go to your local police/sheriff department and talk with them. I checked with the police and sheriff department and stun guns are legal where I live.

I'm a professional dog trainer, the answer is yes, your dog will experience a shock as well and you'll probably incite the attacking dog even more. Best thing to do in this scenario is to mace the attacking dog.

This Stun Gun does not have electrified prongs. However, the electrical current that circulates around is almost 360. Meaning even if you jab from the tip the electricity will jump out out of the unit. You can practice on a metal bar to perfect the angles that are the most effective. You will see the electric current jump off of the Star Warrior into the metal. Just don't hold the metal while you are testing, for obvious reasons.

No, just showing this device would not deter anyone who breaks into your apartment, you have to make contact with the invader to shock them. I would suggest the writer purchase a Taser gun or explore other defense options that can be applied from a distance .

No, they're separate functions. You have an on/off switch, a function switch (light or stun), and a trigger button for the stun function. When you're in light mode the stun will not function, and vice-versa.

There is a switch that locks the stun gun. So you wont have to worry about it going off while using the flash light. :)

No, if you look closely, there is a button and a slide switch onthe same surface of the flashlight. The slide switch turns the light on... the red button activates the stun. Both cannot be activated at the same time. So if the light is on you won't inadvertently shock too. I got this for my wife and she loves it. Of note... the light is really bright too.
