Stun batons are powerful personal protection that's small enough to fit into the pocket of your raincoat or be telescopic: no wonder police and other law enforcement personnel prefer them to other weapons! And now, in most states, stun batons are legal for civilians, and very practical for increasing your security at work or on the streets. But stun batons and guns do have some restrictions based on where you live: check with your local police as to the legality and restrictions of owning a stun baton before making a purchase.

Stun batons can be carried in tote bags, take charge when you enter unsafe areas, or in vest in a holster that's carried either over or under your outerwear. In some cases, as in security jobs, you probably want people to see the stun gun as a deterrent to crime, but for private citizens, the stun gun may be used as a last result, and so should probably remain hidden unless you're under attack.
Stun guns can be disguised as other objects such as pages or cell phones, but the advantage of a stun baton is that is can lengthen your reach so you don't have to be as close to the attacker. Stun guns can range from 4 inches in length to more than 20, so you can decide what you're comfortable with based on your situation.
