Because of its power and extended reach, these stun batons are a favorite among security guards. Simply touch an assailant with the baton and pull the trigger: three to five seconds will leave the assailant dazed and temporarily paralyzed. The baton will also deliver a shock when touched six inched from the tip, to prevent an assailant from grabbing it and taking it away. Before you order a stun baton, please make sure they are legal where you live. You may check here first.
