How do I safely use a stun gun?

Stun guns are tools that should only be used for self defense. If you find yourself in a dangerous situation, you can follow these steps to safely use your stun gun. 

1. Aim for the attacker's chest or back, avoiding the head and face. If you cannot reach this area, the best touch points for your stun gun are anywhere between the neck and hip area. As well as underarms, thighs, or behind the knees.
2. Send a short burst of electricity by pressing the button or switch on your stun gun. Do not hold for more than 5 seconds.
   Reminder: Be aware of your surroundings. Avoid using a stun gun near water or other conductive surfaces.
3. Once the attacker is disabled or distracted, get away. Seek help from others nearby if you can and call the police.
