The Ultimate Deterrent

Most people are intimidated by stun guns, but why let that work against you?

Use it to intimidate a would-be attacker! Most stun guns are effective just being discharged into the air. If you saw one go off in someones hand, would you stick around?

Most people think a stun gun is something you have to use up close and person. Up close is not the best place to be in a situation where you may be a potential victim, but pulling it out before you have to use it is like cocking a shotgun at the top of the stairs. You are telling the attacker, “Come closer at your own risk.”

They not only give off a considerable amount of light, but the most impressive part of a stun gun is the noise. It is LOUD! The sound a stun gun makes is unmistakable. Even if you have never seen one in action, you know what it is when it goes off. Think of it as a police whistle that will make your would-be attacker lose all feeling in his legs.

The second most common misconception is that they are dangerous to use. Believe you me, they are. But a stun gun is not something to be scared of. On the contrary, once you familiarize yourself with it, your stun gun will feel just as comfortable to you as your house keys. One thing you have to keep in mind is that while you are using your stun gun on your would-be attacker, YOU ARE NOT SHOCKING YOURSELF! Even if the would be attacker is touching you, you won’t feel a thing. (But they will.) There are A LOT of personal protection devices on the market, and most of them work very well. But if you are looking for something discreet, with minimal size, but maximum protection, buy stun guns.

What A Store Manager Learned The Hard Way


A store manager in Chantilly, VA was that easy target in the very nature of business alone: check cashing, lottery, money order and wire services. Money is motivation for a robbery and that’s just what three men took advantage of.

What is the one thing that criminal is looking for? Opportunity. They don’t want to get tangled up in a messy show of their ignorance so they look for the easy targets.

The mastermind behind the crime convinced his online girlfriend to purchase a Taser with her credit card and have it shipped to her address. She in turn shipped it to this brilliant man who thought it couldn’t be traced that way, ha!
So the three stooges plan to knock off the Prime Mart and make off with as much cash as they could carry. The mastermind stayed back, but in contact with dumb and dumber by telephone. They run into the store, tie up the store manager who was alone and demand money. When the manager hesitated he got a nice wake-up call from 50,000 volts of electricity emitted by the Advanced Taser M18, now know as the M26. He was shocked 2 more times until he gave up over $30,000.

Now, before dumb and dumber stunned the manager they had to call their mastermind and ask how to use the Taser…ha. Don’t you know if I were running an establishment moving that kind of money, I would already have my Taser out and unleashed on both of these clowns.

I’ll say it now and I’ll say it again…get yourself prepared. Don’t get caught in a situation that could have been prevented or at least handled in a matter of 30 seconds if you just would have been prepared.

Whether you own a business or not, you need to be protected. You can check out Taser selection and other self defense products at our web site www.allamericanselfdefense.com
