A Stun Baton permits you to keep a safer distance from a potential attacker. They deliver an effective high voltage charge that will keep an attacker a more comfortable distance away from you.
To put the odds in your favor it is always best to stay as far away from an attacker as possible. The stun baton lets you do this. It is longer then the attacker's arms and quite frequently an attacker will turn and walk away after you test fire the baton. They see the sparks and hear the electricity crackle and decide it might not be a good idea to mess with you.
Keeping the stun baton in your possession and out of the hands of the attacker (unless you are stunning him) is a priority. Heaven help you if the attacker wrestles your self defense weapon from you. He could turn it on you!
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!
Another feature to look for is a safety strap or disabling pin. With a wrist safety strap on the end of the stun baton the assailant can not just grab it away from you. If the wrist strap is connected to a safety or, disabling pin, if the attacker does manage to grab the stun baton it will be rendered useless when the disabling pin is pulled out of the unit.
OK, sometimes length does matter. Especially when it comes to using a stun baton. If you are concerned about how short or how long a baton you should get consider looking at an expandable stun baton. When not in use these little babies are a compact 12". With the press of a button they extend to about 21"! Pretty neat, huh? When not in use it can be carried comfortably in your hand, just like an umbrella, or placed in a holster and clipped to your belt.
Using a stun baton to ward off a dog attack is one other great use of this self defense weapon. If you do a lot of walking you have probably been confronted by either one or two vicious dogs. Keeping them a safe distance away from you can be a problem. One tap with your stun baton will send them on their way to find a place to lick their wounds! They will not be bothering you anymore. - 26706
