Self-Defense: Are Stun Guns an Effective Tool for Personal Protection?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- A stun gun is a device that can immobilize an attacker by administering an electric shock. The beauty of this device is that it usually does not cause serious injury. Stun guns can be purchased online or at sporting goods stores.
In this video, we test out a variety of stun guns that we purchased. A special thanks to Israel and Benjamin for their exceedingly great bravery in stepping up and volunteering to get stunned.
My favorite pepper spray is Police Magnum Pepper Spray amzn.to/3egFAQi. I usually purchase the multipack.
Links to the stun guns that we purchased are below. There are many other varieties on the market.
Fightsense Compact Stun Gun amzn.to/3xFajhG
Vipertek VTS Mini Stun Gun amzn.to/2TZ14ud
Police Stun Gun amzn.to/2ULiLNA
Sabre Stun Gun amzn.to/3yV3ysh
Vipertek VTS Stun Gun amzn.to/3r51QBW
Sabre Tactical Series Flashlight Stun Gun amzn.to/2Vud335
Streetwise Lightning Rod Baton Stun Gun amzn.to/2U7nKZc
Thanks for being part of the solution!

Your son and son-in-law were such good sports! Thank you!
I’d rather not say what my self defense options are. But I will say that I always carry two. One lethal and one less-lethal. Less lethal is always on left side, lethal on my right, so it’s much more difficult to reach for the wrong one by accident. The most important self defense is definitely situational awareness.
A non lethal is always best to have, most likely to get used.
Well I never expected a vid like this from you guys 👍😂🤣🤔
I carried and used different sprays and foams for years as LEO. Regardless of wind, anyone who deploys pepper spray is getting some too. Train with it and learn to deal with it, you will develop a tolerance to it.
I shouldn't be laughing but you guys are so great to demonstrate this!!!
Brave souls. Great vid, y’all.
@@TheProvidentPrepper You’re welcome!
LOL, brave people to actually be testing these! Love it. I think we all rely too much one just *one* item or something to protect us. Yes, we have firearms and train with it, but so many things can be a self-defense tool, even our feet and hands. I like the longer stun guns like the ones you've showed because it has a greater distance between you and someone else and can certainly be used as a club! The small ones are nice for 'concealability', though. As was said in the vid, just have a plan for after you've 'stunned'...run away, whatever. Great vid.
Your family is full of good sports! Thank you so much!
Anybody who has been stunned with a stun gun will tell you it's the worst pain ever...... Anybody who says different is either a liar or he's never been stunned... properly....
Sorry, the worst pain you could ever imagine is being a lady having a baby
@tammyloy3114
Depends on the woman for some it's no big deal. Have you seen the clip of the Kourtney Kardesien pulling out her own baby.... what a champion she is it's quite amazing.
I think a lot of your family and I only say this with respect to all of you, do not rely on those stun guns or tasers, keep your firearms and pepper spray close at all times because if or when it happens you need to be ready speaking from experience bad people won't be stopped by the taser, great video thanks stay safe and God bless
Nothing beats a handgun. When your families safety is the concern never settle for anything less.
Great video though!
That is true I live in California. The rules and laws out here are against me. I own five guns I’m 63 years old so physically I’m not up to fight a 20 years old or 30 year old. Who’s in my house I’m just gonna shoot them, but the repercussions of me firing my weapon at an unarmed Assailant breaking into my window is going to land me in prison because of the laws out here California sucks it’s expensive and it’s all about the weak and lazy people. You work your ass off all your life by a home and yet the streets are flooded with illegal immigrants that are willing to steal your shit. I’ve been broken into twice here and never used to get in my whole life and now I have to go to a range to learn how not to kill somebody. I don’t live in the best neighborhood, but they are so many homeless people here that are not from this country it’s worrisome.
She, like most people don't normally take handguns on powerwalks in urban and suburban neighborhoods. They stated at the beginning that they do have handguns ..but securely locked up so grandkids cat access them. Most people with even a modicum of common sense understand that these don't in any way shape or form replace firearms as effective self protection but as supplemental resources for oers protection when handguns are not possible..or practical!
Purely Shocking Evidence. Thanks for the video.
Great family review. Luv it 🏆✨ keep em coming ‼️
I enjoyed this a little more than I probably should have.
;)
Loved this! Love your family! Thank you!😄
This is very informative! Thanks so much. I was wondering about what you guys do for self defense. I'm looking into this.
Thank you I have been looking for something to protect against stray dogs. This was very informative! Love your channel and your family.
Great video!! Thanks so much for the info!
I love that only dad doesn't mind shocking the heck out of Ben lol
@@TheProvidentPrepper Just tell them it's good practice in case someone attacks them! :D
In answer to the question yes I did it to myself today with the saber tactical series with light and it hurt but I like that one you showed with the anti grab future only problem is it's to big for everyday carry since I can't own a gun this is my choice for carry defense that and pepper spray
this was unexpectedly adorable.
Thank you for this.
Thanks guys. Good bless and keep you. :)
You guys are so caryz!!
That was a fun video except for poor Ben
Thank you for explaining the differences. I have often wondered about these.
Sabre now has a pepper GEL.
Bob Wells on CheapRVLiving RUclips channel reviewed it.
Jonathan is having too much fun!
Not bad. Whats the voltage ⚡ on some of those . Thought about buying a few for being way back in the mountains or Bear spray
Wow amazing video! Love how the kids were involved and educated too. Was thinking about buying a stun baton myself, I wonder if there are any expandable ones like regular batons but also stun?
Check out the Zap cane.
I intend to get one.
I bought one of the guard dog side kick batons and I don't like the flimsy plastic that the shock component is attached to but I do think you can build a splint that doesn't interfere with the electrodes , so if you do have to strike with it ,you don't damage the plastic shell.
Wasp and hornet spray 10 to 12 feet, many convent stores use
I'm getting some! And bear spray too!
Yes thats what i've got too.
No no no wasp spray is not a defensive item. Buy bear spray or peppers spray.
@@chadjordan9382 would if i could. Cant get bear nor pepper spray in my country.
No you don't use bear spray on a human as it's not effective. And you don't use a can of wasp spray either, as my dad was just bring lost yesterday and the spray ran all the way down his arm. If it's legal in your state you can get a large can of saber red gel that sprays in a 360. That's what you want. It has a pistol trigger.
I think it can go either way 😌 for you or against you
How effective are these things if your assailant is wearing thick, winter clothing? Is contact with the skin needed? Fun video, thanks.
I'm sure it would be a bit less. They are not the end all answer but I take my baton with me walking every day ... not to protect from bad guys but from neighborhood dogs :)
Great demonstration! Sadly, Amazon won't ship stun guns to my area :-(
Also try using these against someone on PCP
I have what's called a lipstick taser & it's no joke!
The name is deceiving though. It's bigger than a lipstick but can still fit inside ur purse or pocket.
I also want a "cell phone" taser.
Would you mind telling me where you got it ?
Do they work in the winter when everyone's wearing a thick coat and gloves?
The hand held seems to hurt more then the sticks do
Great video. Maybe I missed it. Is there a link to,the metal baton your daughter is demonstrating? Thanks.
The video was a fun watch but genuinely I have a concern, the effectiveness will be based on a persons intent determination and mental state at the time, if someone’s intent is purely doing harm, I’m sorry to say the stun guns won’t help, because they don’t create the same effect as say a taser like ones the police use where you see the entire body locking up involuntarily or pepper spray that forces the eyes closed (providing a quality spray and solid placement of spray) or CS gas causing hard coughing.
@@TheProvidentPrepper I don’t believe you’d have to go as far as “special forces” just someone who’s determined to do harm for whatever reason, frankly stun devices have no place in self defense other than novelty.
Check out the Sabre pepper GEL.
Missing the exact model and brand names of the self defense weapons in this video. Can you post them?
There is such a thing as a quick access drawer safe.
Seems imprudent to bring a stun gun to a real gun fight
Great video and i can´t say i have been stunned by a stun gun before. And besides stun guns are illegal here in Sweden it is only for the police to have.
Great video! We have to devices
nice stun gun👍😉india se💕🙏
It looked as if dear old DAD was enjoying zapping his son...just a little bit to much.🤣🤣🤣🙏
Best use might be for protection from a Pitbull....not much will stop a Pitbull but this might stop an attack ..save you and save the dog...Dog will learn to respect that sound....
Good Morning 👋
Unfortunately my dogs cannot be put down by one of these I wish it was that easy so I would be able to carry for other dogs when we go into town area but then again mine are under control and are protection dogs. But u can use those till the cows come home on them and it will only piss them off more. There presa canario they do not drop from them. Might I ask the volts / amps ect. ?
Thanks for the video. Was thinking about getting one, but after your video, I would think they are worthless. Yeah, sure it hurts a little if you get it in the right spot on exposed skin. All the bad guys are wearing black hoodies and gloves. Where are you going to zap him? And if you do zap him, you've just made an angry person even more angry. I fear the danger is having a false sense of confidence in a real-life situation. You need to incapacitate your attacker, not piss him off even more. And black belt?...would you disarm someone with a knife by grabbing it?
Do all 50 states allow the use of pepper spray and stun guns? For some reason I thought they are against the law for non-police.
NO
At least in the banana republic of Kaliforniastan, you can have i think up to 2.25 oz pepper spray for self defense (I think) and Big 5 sells those little flashlight tazers which I zapped myself accidentally with and although that size I think the bark is worse than the bite. I mean you hear that and I think anyone's self-preservation mode would kick in and not want to be zapped.
Being a woman, I wonder if pepper spray is better since I wouldn’t need to get so close to my attacker.
Look up for "Mace Gun" on google. I think it's even better than spray cause wind can't effect on it so much and you can use it from further distance.
If you're within pepper spray range, the attacker can cover that in less than about a second and a half, so aim be true....take a class. You have a powerful stun gun and you do risk zapping yourself, but that sound....for a warning, i don't know what the stats say is better, but either one is better than nothing. Neither is better than situational awareness. Don't be one of those current dopes with your eyes on your phone 24-7. Pay attention to your surroundings.
Both. I'd say go for spray. Maybe even the gel type if you leave it in hot places like a vehicle.
Let me see it ill do it 😮
How many watts are they?
It’s illegal to sell, buy or carry anything other than “bear” or “dog” pepper spray in Canada. Watching an all American family do this is freaking me out. So weird.
Everything is illegal in Canada. Lame.
What's weird is that you're okay with your government forcing you to be a sitting duck for criminals. Apparently you agree with them that your well-being is less important than a criminal's.
Don’t want to use your stun gun very long without contact maybe a second
Stun guns may not work if someone is on meth.. :/
In that case, you use the club part of it. Perhaps you could "improve" the club area with some barbed wire.
Stun guns are a legal nightmare, DO NOT use a stun gun as a self-defense weapon. You may win the battle, but you will lose the war.
@@TheProvidentPrepper I'm not a lawyer, I read and study law as a hobby during the winter months. It runs on the theory that if you use less than lethal means to stop an attack, real or perceived, you did not belief your life was in danger and that there was a non-violent solution. The same reason a person shouldn't warn an attacker before defending oneself. The issue with the legal system is that if that attack is able to get away from you, then you are as much the attacker in the situation. Things get really mess, fast. This is more of an issue in civil than criminal cases. I'll state the sad truth that it is easier to defend yourself in court against a dead attacker than a live one.
Answer me why are you talking about being taken to court or if the confrontation continues in the physical aspect or when a police shows up are you arrested for using a stun gun?
@@cleodumas2581 I am speaking to the legal reality of life. How you perceive the world and how the legal system sees the world are totally different. One of the best pieces of advice I received as a youth was that if you carry a baseball bat in your vehicle also carry a mitt and ball. Are you arrested for using a stun gun by the police? yes and/or no, a stun gun is a weapon and legally viewed as such. It will depend on the situation. Is there a chance of getting sued by the attacker....absolutely yes. So, if you're attacked on your porch and you use a stun gun, drag the attacker into the house and stick to the claim he was stunned in the house or you're screwed.
You have to understand that for the average crackhead yeah that can be effective. But somebody who spent 10 years in prison no, absolutely not. Why? Because there's no pain you're going to throw them these are not used to. They've been beaten they've been stunned they've been pepper sprayed. Prisoners have stabbed them most likely anyway. So yeah you're not going to take somebody down who's been a lot of time in prison
I think these offer a lot of false hope. Carry a gun everyday and train.
Guns aren’t always a legal option (like at my workplace, for instance). I appreciated seeing the information provided on this self defense alternative. I think this video may have illustrated your point, Chad, and dispelled some ideas about the effect a stun gun might have on a determined attacker. Israel looked like he was barely bothered by it.
Looks like just enough to anger someone or animal.
Trash. Took one fall maybe about a foot drop and didn't work anymore. i broke my toy, and I'm havin a hard time to take it apart to see if i could possibly fix it smh but its NOT comin apart 😭
Shocking 😂 Obviously, firearms are the way to go. Educate your children and for really young children, do not chamber a round in your arms and have live rounds in the magazine only.
Only in America lol
I'm sorry but this seems like a joke.
The only stun gun I have
Is a fkn 9mm!!
Them thing as are worthless not only did they NOT put the man down but didn't even put the kid down, total garbage.
Don't bother looking for these items all are unavailable 🍻
I see a cage on your back porch I hope you don’t lock your pet in that thing it’s very cruel. Try locking yourself in it for 6 hours see how uncomfortable and hopeless you will feel. If you can’t stay in it for six hours then how do you think your pet fairs in it?
I used to work in an office. 10 to 12 hours a day in a cubicle cage with no windows full of despair. A fate most humans share. wishing I were his puppy MYOB
