Firstly with the new firearm laws and control act in South Africa , owning a firearm will be very difficult as 70% of all aplications are turned down for no reason in South Africa.
If you are one of the lucky people in SA to still own a firearm “be very careful”, even shooting in self defence could land you behind bars these days.
True story: I personally know a member of the South African Police Department (X) who coughed up thousands of his own money defending himself in court for shooting a armed man who pointed a gun at him.
X was on patrol one evening when he and his partner had to respond to a disrurbance call, X arrived on the scene where he was confronted by a armed gun man who pointed the gun at X in his drunk rage, X shot the man “only wounding him” but had to part with thousands trying to prove his actions where only in self defence.
Acting in self defence when a life is taken is “very” risky and hard to prove these days, now most people are turning to high voltage stun guns, pepper sprays and pepper guns for less lethal self defence.
Now lets take a look at the best form of non lethal self defence, without a doubt number 1 on my list of less lethal protection products have to be high voltage rechargeable stun guns. Stun guns are non lethal as their amperages are low “Yet” extremely effective through high voltages. Stun guns will take any attacker or attackers for that matter “completely” out of action very fast (1-3 seconds).
Stun gun effects on attacker will be pain, confusion and complete loss of muscle control. These rechargeable units deliver electrical shocks many times before recharging is required.

Now lets look at the second best in my opinion (providing you have the money to spend). Pepper guns, aah yes shooting pepper balls at high speed over great distances 
pepper guns dont get me wrong are very effective, they deliver pepper gas at high speed into the body or face of the attacker.
Now for the downside to pepper guns and pepper spray, if your attacker is intoxicated or on some form of drug (especially in South Africa), these guys do not feel effects of the hard hitting pepper balls or pepper spray in the eyes right away. Infact they can finish what they started and only begin to feel the effects of pepper balls or pepper spray up to 30 minutes later “Not good for you”.
Here is where stun guns are king, no matter how big, how bad, how strong or how intoxicated anyone is “A high voltage stun gun “will” take you down in seconds.
True story: Hannes is a big male who loves rugby, one day he decided to buy one of these little battery operated 50 000 volt stun guns for his wife that hardly make a sparkle. So Hannes was sitting on the couch drinking brandy and watching the rugby match as many South African males do, after a couple of toots and halfway through the game Hannes decides that he has too know for sure if this little battery operated stun gun will do its job when the occasion arises “after all it has to protect his beloved wife”.
So our clever Hannes has now finished half the bottle of brandy and is starting to feel very brave, he just has to know if this little stun gun that set him back R485.00 really works. Our brave Hannes presses the “little” stun gun to his left nipple and pushes the button!
Really! how clever and brave is Hannes!, he woke up on the floor making sounds he had never heard in his life before! The entire rugby team had just run into his lounge, picked our poor Hannes up and slammed him to the ground, then picked up the couch and slammed it on top of poor Hannes! the two objects that used to be testicals were now feeling like they had been hit by a meat tenderiser and were now logged in his ribcage!
How could such a small battery operated stun gun produce so much power as to completely knock Hannes out? What our rather large and slightly intoxicated Hannes never thought of was…
IF YOU PUSH THE BUTTON YOUR MUSCLES WILL CONTRACT AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RELEASE THE BUTTON UNTILL YOU ARE RENDERED UNCONCIOUS!!!
Shame!! I think less brandy for Hannes next time with the stun gun far out of his reach! Maybe Hannes has upgraded to the new high voltage rechargeable stun guns… eeeiiisssshhhhhh!!!!!!!
YT 806~ R190.00 Free Shipping
This new super police stun baton at 2 million volts is the best on the market by far. Used by police and security forces the YT 806 stun baton is my personal non lethal weapon of choice.
Now its time to start thinking about less lethal forms of self defence, high voltage stun guns are listed on many websites from R499.00 – R1795.00 Yes these prices are exactly why stun guns are unaffordable for most people. The three stun gun models listed here retail from R499.00 – R1200.00 in many retail stores throughout South Africa.
