Stun Gun Products-why College Women Need Them

College campuses across the country these days are filled with students the majority of which are women. College women have overtaken men in pursuing a college education just within the last 5 to 10 years. If you go to a community college or any number of smaller specialty colleges the proportion of men to women is easily 3 to 1.

Sexual predators know this. College administrators are aware of the problems they have on campus with crime but are very reluctant to talk about it or admit it especially to parents. The reason is obvious. Mom and dad want their daughter to be safe.

But just think about the circumstances that exist on college campuses. You have 18 to 22-year-old males, whose hormones are raging; you have rampant use of drugs and alcohol on or near campuses; and despite the fact that most campuses are in relatively nice areas of town predators abound.

Just recently here in Colorado Springs, my hometown, a very exclusive college, Colorado College, has been plagued by a series of assaults on women students at night going back to last October. That situation is repeated across the country.

Some cities and states have restrictions on stun guns. But proportionally most places are okay with women carrying stun guns for self-defense. They are the second most popular self defense product in the world second only to pepper sprays.

They are small, powerful hand held devices that conduct an electrical charge through two prongs on one end of the device. That electrical charge when it's dumped into an assailant's muscles causes the muscles to over work very rapidly depleting the body of all blood sugars that are needed for energy. The assailant can do nothing after a 3 to 5 second application of a stun device.

When it comes to your self defense these tools and items are the way to go. Stun guns are among the best self defense tools you can get.

When are you getting one?

If you think crime can only happen to the other guy you are wrong. The "other guy" is thinking the same thing and to him you are that "other guy". There is a reason why they call it self defense. You have to protect yourself, your family, your home and business!!

Chances are if you are reading this that crime has touched your life in some way or you consider yourself at risk. Take the next step and do something to protect yourself! Your life and safety is worth far more than the cost of self defense course.

If you are in the market for a self defense product look for quality, effectiveness, and a biggie-LEGALITY. Stun guns are not legal in some states. Pepper sprays have restrictions in some jurisdictions. Check with your local police department first before you get one.
