How far away from you attacker can you be? Or do you have to touch your attacker with the device to deliver the shock?

Well I haven't been attacked, but it's like any other device that shocks people. You have to touch it to them while holding down the button to administer the shock.

I believe you have to be close to the attacker. Don't worry, I think that attacker have to be super fast to avoid this thing. It also emit a very loud sound that a criminal would run way from. Remember this is a mean of protection and defense.

This will not back fire on user even if the user is contacting the attacker at the same time, just be sure not to touch yourself with the stun guns pins.

I have not had to use it yet, but; I suppose it would be like when you build up static electricity and touch a metal object.It only takes a brief touch to shock you.

In order to use it you need to make direct contact. You must touch the taser to the intended object. A dogs nervous system can handle the extreme intensity of the shock so it would indeed affect the dog permanently or possible even kill it.

Have not used on an attacker but my brother and I tried it on each other. It worked...lol but it is close contact only. It would certainly give one plenty of time to get away if you could get it out quick enough.

You have to touch the attacker...but, very effective...have kids and if someone grabs it off your wrist the pin comes out and it cant be used against u..

We have a fairly large house and yard and never had an issue with the range inside or out. If you're going beyond ~75 yards I can't really comment b/c never tried to use it further than that. The problem with this device though is NOT the range...it's the delay you must suffer through between when you click to 'wake up' the remote and when you are actually able to deliver the shock. In my experience the delay was so long that the dog had finished doing the bad thing before I could shock him. I suggest not buying this model and looking for one that is always on and ready to work exactly when you need it.

you really have to be very close to your targets, so i really don't know how close you can get. sorry i could not be of any help to you

It doesn't really "shock" you electrically, if that's your concern. It goes from level 1 to Level 4. Level 1 doesn't do much, it just makes you hand jump. Level 2 you start to feel a tickle. Three is like shocking gum/pen, it makes the bones in your hand viberate, and 4 Makes your hand feel weird. There's no pain to it, just humor. Hope that helped! �

Hi, You have to touch the person while pushing the taser button in order to immobilize them with the charge. However, the instructions also point out that activating the tazer away from the attacker may be enough of a scare that they will retreat. Read the instructions carefully.

It delivers enough shock to deter animals but will not physically injure anyone that touches it. Kids will probably only make the mistake of touching it once. It delivers a pulse shock, not a constant shock. It will give anyone shocked a break to pull away.

Here's how I answer that kind of question. It's always best to carry something that protects you from a distance and something that will protect you close up. So I suggest carrying a pepper spray and use it as a long range deterrent. If the attacker is still coming at you, stun him with your stun gun. The combination will certainly make him incapacitated long enough for you to get away. I hope that answered your question. Thanks.

no, you have to touch the person/animal with the end. You are thinking of the type of device the police use.It's not a stun gun; it's a taser

I was putting it in the holster when I first got it and it was switched to the shock function. I had the tip of the holster in the palm of my hand and it discharged in the holster. It was a pretty good jolt through thru the webbing. I don't know if would stop someone in their tracks but the sound and the jolt I got would have made me think twice about taking someone on that had one.

good questionI believe you will also get shocked electricity travelsbut I believe they will let go want to get hit with it

I believe you can set it to shock them at the wire. I have mine set to give a warning noise about 4 feet from the wire. If the stay in that zone it shocks them. I love the system!! It works great.

No, the device doesn't will not affect you at all. In order for the collar to be effective it needs to be in direct contact on the neck of your pet. It senses how much intensity to emit based upon how persistent the barking is. So again, don't worry about getting shocked, it doesn't quite work that way on us.
