Yes, you have the right to defend your life and property - it's called self- defense. Just be careful to do only what is necessary to end the threat. To continue to injure a person, even an intruder, after they are incapacitated is no longer self- defense.

This assumes that your stun gun is legally possessed by you under the laws in your jurisdiction.

It depends on the laws in your jurisdiction. In some places, it may be legal to use a stun gun for self-defense in your own home if you reasonably fear for your safety. However, it's important to consult local laws and regulations, as well as considering other non-lethal options, and prioritize your personal safety and the safety of others in any encounter with an intruder.

What 30 kv stun gun can do to human body?

A contact stun gun will cause the body's muscles to contract and release very rapidly. This has the effect of depleting them of glycogen, which is what muscles use for energy. In order to restore the glycogen, the body will pull sugar from the bloodstream to make up the difference. This will cause a person to be tired and out of energy. A stun gun does not have the amperage to cause a person to go into arrhythmia or cause the person's heart to stop. The voltage only determines how much clothing the stun gun will be effective through. A 30kv stun gun for example won't have the penetration power of a 1,000,000 volt stun gun.

A stun gun is an electroshock gun that is used to momentarily disable a person. It is a non-lethal weapon used by the police to control mobs and by security guards to stop trespassers.

The use of these weapons have been banned ever since in some countries and possession is also considered illegal in many countries.


Do stun guns work on dogs?

I have sold many stun guns for defense against dogs. They actually work in two ways in regards to dogs. The sound that the stun gun makes when triggered in the air is very effective. Dogs hate the sound. It really scares them. This almost always works but if you do need to stun the dog, the stun gun will not kill them or damage them though it may leave a couple burn marks where it made contact. The stun gun needs to be a minimum of 500,000 volts. It is recommended to use more humane items, such as Mace Muzzle pepper spray. Muzzle is specifically made for canines. Or use a high frequency alarm such as the Ultrasonic Dog Chaser / Repeller. Dogs shy away from the sound, even though YOU don't hear it.
