Do you need to physically touch the attacker with the stun gun for it to work or can you be at a distance from the attacker?

you have to physically touch attacker. However, I did return the item because I could not get it to work.

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 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..

You need to physically be touching the attacker... Tasters are deployable, stun guns are contact only non-deployable

I assume you mean a pin that will disable the stun gun if it is disconnected from the wrist strap. The answer is no. The wrist strap is only a key ring type connection to the body of the device and does not release

There is a switch that locks the stun gun. So you wont have to worry about it going off while using the flash light. :)

Of course not. It produces far, far less voltage than the much more powerful 65,000 volt guns on the market that *actually* produce that kind of voltage. The miniscule amperage output, which BTW is the REAL measure of a stun gun's effectiveness, is so tiny that even if this thing actually did produce the advertised output voltage, it wouldn't matter.

Yes the flashlight has to be on to shock someone. There's two buttons one you push up for the flashlight and a button to turn on taser the taser will not turn on at all if light button is not in the position (On)

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.

You cannot but the motion to stun is very simple and easy to do. The flashlight is so bright that it would blind the person for way longer than it would take to stun them. I looked at the light like a idiot and seen red circles for over a hour. Very nice flashlight. Do not let not being able to shine while stunning stop you. Guard dogs flashlight stun gun are the best without a doubt. Love my special ops and diablo. Getting the Titan next.

If it doesn't work there is something wrong with your stun gun like mines :(

most definitely not! you have to be touching the person, if a bear is charging you the last thing your gonna be thinking is where is my stun gun... lol, and it isn't deadly to a human, bears have been known to still get a person after several real guns have tried to take it down. also if it did happen to work by some happening.... when you stop pressing the button the bear will be right there to finish what you started.... perhaps an extremely rapid tranquilizer dart gun is what you should invest in, i think they make then in both rifle and hand gun styles.

it's not really a 'gun'; it's more of a taser- meaning you can't shoot prongs or sparks from it; it has to have direct contact with the assailant. It will work through clothing, but it does need to touch the person.

Yes it does, but along with pepper spray it is very effective. The stun gun that does not touch the individual in close range is the one that once it has been discharged you must file a report with the police and they will have to give you a recharged cartridge for that particular stun gun.

No, if you look closely, there is a button and a slide switch onthe same surface of the flashlight. The slide switch turns the light on... the red button activates the stun. Both cannot be activated at the same time. So if the light is on you won't inadvertently shock too.I got this for my wife and she loves it. Of note... the light is really bright too.

You have to have the remote in hand. Honestly though we haven't even used the shock. It has been effective just using vibrate on level 4.

Yes, you have to touch the person to shock them. There are contact points on the front of the unit and they have to touch the person. BTW, you may have also noticed two sideways prongs sort of facing each other. When you press the button to fire the unit an arc flies between these two points making a loud electrical noise and a bright light and I think this alone would scare a lot of muggers, purse snatchers, etc. It's pretty loud and frightening.

Did she touch something with it? Or just let it off in the air? If she held the button down longer than 3 seconds without touching anything with it, it can damage the stunning mechanism by melting it.You can also call me at 720-412-6145 I'm director of Self defense devices for Simple Savage Self Defense Systems. We offer this product along with other stun guns. We also offer self defense training and weapons training. I should be yo able to answer your questions. Hope this helps.

yes... but you dont have to touch them for the stun gun to go off and make noise. plus it has a real loud siren and Im telling you that alone will make someone think twice about attacking you... We gave this to my dad for a gift and he loves it because to charge it the plug is actual built into the gun and you can charge it at work or whatever. I would recommend this to anyone actually...

No it just stuns them. You have to squish them when they are down. But do it quickly or they will fly away.
