Stun guns are electronic self-defense device that uses high
voltage (wattage) to stop an attacker. Touching a person with the electrodes on
the stun gun can quickly stop the attacker. However, because the wattage is low,
no serious or permanent injury is inflicted.
Pepper Spray or OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) is a derivative of hot
cayenne peppers and is the most popular defensive spray chemical. Contact with
mucous membranes (eyes, nose, throat and lungs) will cause immediate dilation of
the capillaries of the eyes, resulting in temporary blindness and instant
inflammation of the breathing tube tissues.
