Buying a “zapper,” or stun gun, or a canister of pepper spray, is a decision that you could make on the spur of the moment. Maybe you happen to be in a gear store or browsing Amazon and decide to buy one. That’s cool. Having one in your pocket is probably better than not having one.
But if you put a little thought into your purchase, you could end up with a stun gun or pepper spray that really fits with what your lifestyle is, what you need it for, and what situations you anticipate you might be in when you need to use it. Did you see these two posts we recently published about pepper sprays and stun guns? check them out!
One company, P.S. Products, has a huge catalog of different types of zappers. Let’s take a look at 5 of them and in what situations they would be useful.
Enter the giveaway to win either a ZAP mini stun gun flashlight or PAWS dog leash with pepper spray! Pepper spray in the size we’re going to be giving away can be shipped anywhere but Washington DC or New York. Stun guns cannot be shipped to New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Wisconsin or Michigan. We apologize to our readers who want to enter who live in those states.
PS Products ZAP Stun Gun and Pepper Spray Dog Leash Giveaway
1. Style: Zap Light Mini Stun Gun Flashlight – 800,000 volts
Charge this one up and it acts like a flashlight, shining up to three hours per charge. It fits in a pocket and is less than 5 inches long. This is what we’re giving away!
Who’s it for: Anyone who walks to their car at night. Someone who has to walk through a parking lot or parking garage at night could pull this out and use it as if it was a flashlight. If someone gets too close, ZAP.
2. Style: ZAP Cane with Flashlight – 1 million volts
This is also a rechargeable stun gun with a relatively bright flashlight, but that’s not why you get this cane. You get it in case you are disabled and need a cane for walking. Someone who does not have great balance shouldn’t rely on having to dig a stun gun out of their pocket or bag. The cane does the trick.
Who’s it for: The elderly or physically disabled. Whether you have trouble walking on a regular basis or you just had some sort of surgery and need a little extra support, a stun gun cane gives you the protection you need when you may be physically vulnerable. At first glance, no one will expect it to be a stun gun.
3. Style: Enforcer Stun Gun Flashlight – 2 million volts
This is one high-power device. Charge it and it can work for 12 hours as a flashlight or can shock over 500 times. Hopefully you would never have to use it that many times, but you could!
If you’re in the wilderness and don’t know who you might encounter, you might take this along. Or keep it charged and ready to grab in case you need to bug out. If there’s riots, yes, you actually might need to use it 500 times!
Who’s it for: Emergency preppers, hunters.
4. Style: Zap Stun Gun – 950,000 volts
This is a good basic stun gun. It looks like a stun gun and acts like a stun gun. This is an all-purpose stun gun that you might want to keep in your office desk, in your car, or in your briefcase just in case. If you like in a high-crime area or a place with a lot of car jackings, consider keeping one in the glove box or on each side of the car, on the passenger side and on the drivers side, so you can access it no matter where in the car you are.
Who’s it for: Anyone concerned about safety. People who drive a lot.
5. Style: Stun Gun Knuckles – 950,000 volts
This is definitely more weapon-like than the others. You wear it over your knuckles like brass knuckles. Wear these if you’re walking around, leaving a bar late at night, or simply like to have your stun gun easily accessible. If you’re worried that someone might throw you a punch, you can punch right back with these and not have to dig in a purse or pocket.
Who’s it for: Anyone who walks a lot, doesn’t have pockets, or is worried about a punch attack.
And, here are two different types of pepper spray presentation. In our experience, most people expect pepper spray to be in a basic canister and maybe on a keychain. There are options here too!
6. Style: Retractable Dog Leash with 1/2-ounce Pepper Spray
You get home late at night and you still need to take your dog out for a walk. Or you take your dog out in the early morning hours when the city may still be asleep. Going on a hike with your dog? Put this leash on him and you’ve got protection if someone gets too close. This is a 15-foot leash and handles dogs up to 110 pounds. This is the other item we’re giving away!
Who’s it for: Anyone with a dog.
7. Style: Lipstick Pepper Spray, 10 foot range
You want to go out and have items in your purse that don’t attract attention. Women don’t always have pockets in our jackets or clothing, so this fits right in your purse and looks like it belongs there. You can reach into your purse and pull out something that doesn’t look suspicious. Maybe someone gets too close to you while you’re in a public bathroom or at a concert. You just look like you’re fixing your lipstick until the person gets too close, and then SPRAY!
Who’s it for: Any ladies who like to go out and want something in their purse that doesn’t look like pepper spray.
8. Style: Canister with case and key ring
Pepper spray that just floats around in the bottom of your purse or toolbox in your truck or whatever, is no good. You need it to be accessible and to work in a moment’s notice when called upon. The case and keyring help with that.
Who’s it for: Anyone.
9. Shot Shell Pepper Spray
This is a clever presentation of pepper spray that looks like a shotgun shell. The whole idea, to me, of something like this is that you can have a personal defense item that no one knows you have. If you’re going out hunting or shooting in the woods and you don’t want it to be obvious that you’re armed, you may want to stash a few defense items here and there. For instance, I could see this being in a glovebox, in your range bag, or in your hunting blind and it’s not immediately obvious. If someone messes with you, they’re in for a shock because they don’t expect you to reach down and pick up a shotgun shell that is also pepper spray. This product is coming soon.
Who’s it for: Hunters, shooters, outdoorsmen and women.
