YES,YES AND YES! I have one if these and had I not had it...my dogs would be dead!Have used it several times and it works. Do not be afraid to use it. Police were called each time my dog was attacked by Pitts. They told me to keep using it.Anyone who walks their dog and doesn't carry protection is going to wish they had if your dog is attacked.CindyNorolk, Va.

With any stun gun you must touch the attacker. A taser on the other hand shoots out leads a couple feet to hit them. I highly recomend this product as I will explain. I felt and after getting the product, STILL feel safe having this in my wifes hands.... It has a wrist strap so if it is taken away from you it cannot be used ON YOU. It also has a flashlight in it which is a very good "excuse" to have the thing in your hand at all times needed. Keep in mind a taser has leads on it and TO ME (just my opinion) that leaves 2 feet of room for error. This stun gun, although I have not used it on a person, seems to have almost twice the stopping power as most on the market. Im not saying its the right choice for everyone but I am hoping that that clears up confussion between a stun gun and taser???

You cannot even get pepper spray except in person from a gun store or... A pharmacy??.Illegal to ship, or order online.I would check your State Laws.I recommend visiting a gun store as they also sell non-lethal self defense items.And they are very knowledgeable about any laws pertaining to self defense items.I would always prefer a non lethal device to a gun.I'd rather them go to jail, and also save me the trauma of "God forbid" using anything lethal.I had a friend have someone walk in front of his car, seemingly on purpose, and there was no way to avoid and not his fault but he was very traumatized.

It certainly will be good for self defense just not very practical. Furthermore, depending on the state you live in, it may not be legal to carry on a regular basis. Check your state penal code on that. Notwithstanding, it is a good knife and keep in mind that it was designed for underwater use against large animals in their element, I think it would hold up fine against an assailant.

The best way to find out is to go to your local police/sheriff department and talk with them. I checked with the police and sheriff department and stun guns are legal where I live.

Check your local/state laws. Better yet, consult with the law enforcement agency that would be arresting you if it isn't legal. Can't hurt to get their opinion or interpretation on the laws for the area where you live or plan to "carry". Impossible to answer this question and those of us on here are not in any position to provide you with a definite answer. Far to many variations from state to state and in some cases city to city within a state.

Yes. But please keep in mind that a knife is almost never considered an ideal first line weapon for home or self defense. I am a former US Army Airborne Ranger, and a combat veteran. I was given what amounts to the best hand to hand/close quarters training that a person could ever hope to receive, and still think of a knife (in the defensive role)as a weapon of last resort.

You could look for a .177cal pellet gun instead. It probably won't kill an attacker, but it'll maim him pretty badly.

Same thing happened to me. I could probably HURT someone hitting them with this thing, it is that hard now. Ridiculous price for something that is basically useless.

Laws vary by state, county, and even town. To answer that, one would need to know every law of every single place you plan to go. Many places outlaw knives with a thumb stud, which this has. This is not an automatic or gravity knife, so you won't run afoul of most such laws. However, many outlaw knives that can be opened with one hand, which this can be VERY EASILY. It is also only 2.91", so any laws prohibiting knives over 3"+ are not a problem. However, if you happen across a city, town, county, etc that has a local regulation against 2.5"+ blades, for example, this knife would be illegal. I purchased this one specifically because I have in-laws that live in a town that has made 3"+ blades illegal. Otherwise, I would have purchased the 3.4" Benchmade Griptilian 552

As with any "Stun weapon" you will need to touch the attacker. this is not a Tazer that fires projectiles that are attached to wires. Yes that is a real electrical arc, not a light show. This is a last line of defense to allow you time to escape from an attacker. A huge piece of mind when your walking alone. My wife and two daughters carry them.

In most home defense situations engagement happens in less than 20' and a laser will not be too effective. Save your money for quality home defense ammo!

Busy Bee, no need to register this device. No law saying you need to. Good product. Only thing to be careful about is accidentally turning the device on and running down the battery. As for self-defense, keep in mind that one must come in contact with the attacker to deliver the charge. Literature shows, however, that most attackers will make body contact with their victim, so this device comes in handy. There are other versions of stun guns that give you reach. Some are 12-inch, 18-inch and even walking cane versions that you ample reach. This device has a healthy charge to it with 150,000 volts. These devices go up to a million or more volts. The higher the voltage, the faster the attacker goes down. Busy Bee, no need to register this device. No law saying you need to. Good product.
