What are stun guns and how do they work?Updated a year ago

Stun guns are handheld self defense tools that can help temporarily disable an attacker. They are compact and easy to carry, which makes them a popular device for personal safety. 

Most stun guns have two prongs on the end of the device, which will spark when turned on. When the device comes into contact with a person, it delivers a high-voltage electrical shock. This shock can cause muscle spasms, pain, and disorientation. A stun gun is a great self defense tool because while an assailant is distracted, the victim can run away and get help.
