Stun guns are the new trend for many women in today's society. As the economy crumbles, the crime rate against women and teenage girls is increasing and many are seeking effective methods of self defense. Of course one option is to carry a gun, but for many that is not acceptable and they are looking for other non lethal means of self defense.

There are self defense classes that teach us how to physically defend ourselves from an attacker when faced with body to body contact. However, this method of self defense can be dangerous or even deadly and for most of us, the less we struggle with an attacker the better our odds of survival.

Pepper spray is another option but it is not always effective and in windy conditions, can adversely affect the user making a bad situation even worse. On the other hand, stun guns are very effective and will work on anyone regardless of their size or level of intoxification.

There are many stun guns on the market that discreetly blend in with everyday casual wear. Let's face it not many women like the idea of carrying around a big, ugly stun gun that looks more suited for Jack Bauer on 24 than it does a woman. Of course, safety is always first; but there's nothing wrong with being fashionable and in this case fashionable means being discreet.

Stun guns can save your life while being fashionable and discreet. Let's take the Stun Pen. The Stun Pen is the size and the shape of a magic marker and has a safety switch and push button trigger.
