What are stun guns and how do they work?

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.
