FAQ
What should I look at in a class for self-defense?
You should consider the reputation and experience of the instructor when choosing a self defense class. Ask about their background and credentials.
Ask if there are any discounts or free trials. You may be eligible for special discounts and offers from instructors who teach new students.
Ask them if they offer online courses so that you can access them whenever you like.
Ask if they provide emergency medical care after every class. This is especially important in the event that you are hurt during a class.
Look for a class that has a variety of exercises. This means that you will get plenty of time to try each technique before moving on to the next one.
Can I legally own a stungun?
Yes. However, you will need to obtain a permit from your state.
To apply for a permit, you must fill out an application form and pay a fee.
After you have received your permit, keep it in plain sight (like your wallet).
You will need to repeat the process if your permit is lost.
How much does a stun gun cost?
A stun gun can cost anywhere from $20 to $100, depending on the model.
Most models include two batteries. They last approximately three months.
Can I be arrested if my stungun is used?
No. Stun guns may be considered "less fatal" weapons. They cannot inflict serious injury and are therefore considered less deadly.
However, if you accidentally strike someone with your stun guns, you could still be facing charges.
What is the best self-defense strategy?
To defend yourself against an attack, avoid it entirely. If you are attacked, run as fast as you can. This will give your time to formulate a better defense plan.
If you are unable or unwilling to flee, learn any defense techniques you have. These include punches or kicks as well as knees. You can also grab your attacker’s arms or legs to stop him attacking you further.
You can fight back with any means you have available if none of these options are effective. Your bare hands are the best weapon. If you don't know how to properly use them, you might consider learning another form of self-defense.

How To
How to use pepper spray in self-defense
To make sure that you don’t accidentally spray pepper spray in your face, gloves are the best option. This will help prevent accidental discharge from the gun.
Second, aim at your eyes when pepper spraying. These are the most sensitive organs of the human body. Spraying pepper spray directly at the eyes could cause serious injury. Because it won't burn as much, you should aim toward your nose.
You need to hold the canister tightly in your hand when using pepper spray. Because if the canister falls, it could burst open and spray everywhere. You can fire the pepper spray slowly by pulling down on the trigger. Pepper spray will not work if the trigger is constantly pressed down.
Pepper spray is most effective if it is directly applied to the eye. If you can't reach your eyes, make sure to spray towards the nose.
The pepper spray will start to make the attacker feel uncomfortable once it hits the mark. He/she may even become nauseous and dizzy. In addition, he/she will probably experience intense itching and burning sensations.
Move quickly to safety once the attacker has become incapacitated. Don't let him/her get near you again. Don't hesitate to call the police.
