Keep An Attacker At Arm’s Length With A Stun Baton
Posted by | Posted in Tips | Posted on 26-10-2009
To keep an attacker a safe distance from you consider purchasing a Stun Baton. A stun baton gives you an advantage of distance. You can reach the attacker with the stun baton before they can reach you with their hands.
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.
Keep in mind, as with any self defense weapon, you do not want the attacker to take the weapon out of your hand and use it against you. Needless to say that would not be a favorable outcome.
When buying a stun baton look for safety features that will help to prevent an attacker from taking the stun baton away from you. One feature that works well to prevent this is to buy one that has metal strips running down the side of the baton that also become electrically charged when the baton is activated. This will stop any attacker from grabbing it out of your hands!
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.
Stun batons are not only useful self defense products against an attacker but they can also be very useful for warding off an animal attack. With the Expandable Stun Baton it is very easy to carry the unit on a belt loop and it will not interfere with your stride. If an angry dog approaches simply pull the baton from the holster, press the button and that dog will be sorry he picked on you!
