Why Stun Guns are not toys

Thanks to Hollywood and backyard stunt artists, protective stun devices (stungun) and high powered tazer stun guns (tasers) are often viewed as toys. This however, is not the case. Although stunguns and tasers are produced for non-lethal protection, when used in conjunction with certain drugs or stimulants, being tasered can have deadly effects. Take a look at this statement from CBS news: "In Indiana, inmate James Borden was stunned six times by an officer, then died on the jailhouse floor. Borden was also high on drugs, and again his family blames overuse of the TASER. "They juiced him to death," charges Steve Borden, James' brother."

And from The AP: "The San Diego County coroner ruled Wednesday that the death of a Mexican migrant at the U.S. border was a homicide, five days after an American immigration officer shot him with a stun gun. The cause of death was determined to be a heart attack, with methamphetamine abuse and hypertension listed as contributing factors."

In both cases, young, able men were killed from being tasered agressively. While we support the use of stunguns and tasers for self protection against violent aggressors, we do not support the use of tasers or stunguns for making "funny" Youtube videos or to prove someone's "toughness." In this manner, we recommend in all cases that tasers and stunguns be treated as weapons with detrimental effects if used unwisely- just like a handgun. Being tasered with a stungun or taser gun can lead to death if the victim has abused meth or another "upper" stimulant. They are not toys and should only be used as security and self-protection devices. For more information on purchasing a stungun or taser gun please visit our site a www.stungunprotection.com
