Ann Perry, a customer of Action Stun Guns sent in the following testimonial regarding one of our Panther Stun Batons.  I’ve decided with Ann’s permission to publish her testimonial, so that others may benefit from her experience.  Keep in mind that the dog that ultimately ends up getting stunned was not permanently injured in any way.

Hi, 

I just ordered another Panther mini stun baton after saving my dog’s life with the one I bought from you last winter. I got that one after our dog, Jake, had been attacked by the next door neighbors pitbull. Two weeks ago, unfortunately, I had an opportunity to use it. Jake had stuck his nose through our wire mesh fence and the sister of the dog that attacked him before got hold of his lower lip and was not letting go. Jake and I were screaming, but no one came to help. I ran to turn on the hose and then remembered the stun baton hanging just inside our front door.

I got it and was able to slide the end through the mesh and apply it to the pitbull’s muzzle. Thankfully, she let go after about a second of being zapped and I rushed Jake to an emergency clinic. When the vet looked at the wound, she said, “Oh my God, did you see this–I can see his jawbone!” She was skeptical that it was repairable, but fortunately the surgery went better than she expected and Jake is on the mend. I am so glad I had the stun gun and am convinced that without it we would have lost our dog.  Sincerely,

Ann Perry

TASER recently released a directive that the TASER System should not be aimed or fired at a persons chest due to the small and unlikely but still possible risk of an adverse cardiac event. 

 My problem with this is, many police situations may not lend themselves to being able to avoid aiming at the chest.  A typical police stop that may involve taking the TASER out of it’s holster is most likely not a serene, quit, calm event where the officer can allow that kind of hesitation. 

If their is a problem with the TASER unit that can cause inadvertant death, then either TASER should fix the problem or TASER use should be considered the same as pulling a firearm with the potential for death. 

In my opinion, this is simply TASER trying to cover their collective butts so as to avoid future lawsuits.  By putting it out there not to aim at the chest, if a death does occur, they can say “we told you not to do that, so don’t blame us”.   In their efforts for future financial self preservation, they are asking officers to put themselves at greater risk.

The best course of action would be to determine the appropiate use of the TASER system by law enforcement.  Does a 6 foot+ tall police officer really need to TASER some kids mom when traditional restraining and compliance techniques would have been just as effective?  Should someone be tasered just because they didn’t do what the officer said?  Maybe, but if the situation is not a violent one, then other less traumatic techniques could be used to handle and difuse those situations. 

On the flipside, someone with a knife can be easily subdued from a distance without putting the officers at risk and many lives have been saved by TASERS that would have been lost in the past, as the officer would have had no choice but to shoot the person. 

The question isn’t just one of the safety of the TASER unit but one of how, when, where and why law enforcement should use the TASER system…After all, the TASER is just one of many tools available to a law enforcement officer. 

Testing the Stun Gun

Make certain that no part of your hand or body is closer to the contact probes than the switch and safety zone plate. (About 1 1/2″) Getting closer than this to the contact probes can result in you receiving an unpleasent shock.

When you press the switch, a charge will fire across the the front of the unit between the test probes.

It will continue to fire as long as you hold the switch in, and will cease firing the the moment you release the switch and allow it to return to it’s normal position. Fire a test charge for only a one second duration as a longer fire may damage the probes and will deplete the battery very quickly.

After test firing, you will need to discharge the unit. This is done by touching the units probes against a piece of metal. You will see a final spark and the unit will then be safe. Failure to do so may result in you receiving a shock if you inadvertently touch the probes within 5 minutes of the last test.

Points of Contact

It is recommended that you have your stun gun out and ready when walking thru a potential dangerous area such as a parking lot or while walking your dog. Make a habit of it. Stun guns are contact devices and do not shoot anything out of it. The best points of contact would be the upper hip, below the rib cage or the upper shoulders. This is due to there being nerve centers at those points, however the stun gun will work when touched at any point of the body. If touched to an arm or leg - it will stun that limb but it may not affect their whole body. As a rule of thumb - aim for any area on the torso. Hold the stun gun against the assailant as long as is necessary to incapicitate them and allow you to escape. (1 -12 full seconds, depending on voltage)

While using you cannot suffer a charge back to your own body, even if the assailant is holding you.

Here’s to hoping Osama gets a 900,000 volt police stun gun shoved up his butt!
