STUN BATONS - ELECTRIC BATONS

Are Stun Gun Batons Good for Self-defense?

Stun batons are effective personal protection tools because of their lengthy design, stun gun functionality, safety mechanisms, portability, and ergonomic features. By incapacitating assailants temporarily without causing lethal harm, these tools provide individuals with the confidence to protect themselves while minimizing the risk of severe injury or fatality during confrontations.

Is It Legal to Carry a Stun Baton for Self-defense in Public?

Hawaii and Rhode Island are the only states that prohibit the ownership of stun guns, even for self-defense purposes. Still, it’s essential to check your local laws to ensure you can legally own and use a stun gun baton.

Why Choose a Stun Baton?

Stun batons are great security products and self-defense devices equipped with more than just tactical stun gun technology. Most stun gun batons have tactical flashlights for added utility. Most devices also come with a simple belt clip or holster so you’re always ready.

What Is a Stun Gun and How Is It Different From a Stun Baton?

So, which is better, a stun gun, a stun baton, or a Taser? Each of these tools has its own set of benefits, drawbacks, and ideal-use applications. Stun guns are a compact defense tool that emits an electrical current through metal prongs that are effective only when they touch an assailant's body directly. A stun baton is essentially an extended version of a stun gun, providing more distance from an assailant. Conversely, a Taser, which is a type of stun gun, is designed to be fired from a distance.

How Do I Safely Use and Maintain a Stun Baton?

Stun batons are used for a variety of reasons, from law enforcement to personal home security. Here’s how to use a stun gun baton for self-defense:

-Make sure it’s charged.

-Keep it on your person (if it’s legal to do so in your state).

-Test fire before use.

-Don’t discount the flashlight.

How Long Does the Effect of a Stun Baton Last on an Assailant?

The powerful stun of the baton depends on the length of time it’s being used on an intruder or assailant. The longer the stun cycle lasts (generally up to five seconds), the more intense the discomfort. However, to be effective and cause pain and minor muscle contractions, you only need to hold this tool against an attacker for one second or less.

Typically, stun batons have around 50,000 volts of electricity or less, allowing a defender to incapacitate a perpetrator from a safe distance immediately. Stun guns listed as 2 million, 5 million, 50 million, or more are incorrect and flat-out impossible. Manufacturers list these impossible numbers as a sales tactic, so don't be fooled by them. Select your stun gun based on its features and not its numbers.

The length of time the charge on this device lasts depends on the type of baton you purchase, but stun devices are rechargeable and should be stored safely on your charger between uses.
