Tips For Staying Protected Throughout Your Holiday

By Divad A Escobedo


To be able to make good on a promise, I am making plans for a week-long vacation to Los Angeles with my 2 teenage nieces. Apart from our itinerary as well as accommodations, I have also been making concessions concerning our safety during travel.

Three "unescorted" girl travelers might appear to be an easy target. As such, I happen to be thinking about taking my very own self-protection device to L.A. However, I know that some states and also cities impose restrictions regarding stun guns. So, are stun guns legal in California as a method of personal protection?

Research informs me that the utilization of stun guns is against the law throughout Massachusetts, Hawaii, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, as well as Rhode Island. It is also banned in D.C., Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Annapolis, Baltimore, and also Howard County.

Now, since stun guns raise no red flags around California, I can take my personal Stun Master 500,000 volt stun baton to our vacation. I have had it for more than a year and can seriously say that I trust it with my life.

Like regular stun guns, baton stun guns supply an immobilizing bolt of electrical energy upon contact with the skin. This effect is non-lethal and causes no long term injury. It is strong enough, though, to knock an attacker down as well as buy you enough time to ask for assistance or escape.

Longer-range ability is exactly what makes stun batons far more useful compared with other stun guns. The user no longer needs to get near the target in order to get the job done. This gives one more layer of safety to the would-be prey and makes targeting the aggressor easier.

My own low voltage stun gun baton is 20 inches long and has a rubber handle. It's capable of delivering an electric shock when touched 6 inches from the tip, thus keeping an attacker from taking it away.

I understand this vacation might not be the one time that I will want to carry my stun gun out of town. Therefore, I have entered a reminder inside my mobile phone organizer to constantly ask myself, are stun guns legal in my upcoming destination?
