Stun Gun Non Lethal Self Defense
Stun Gun Non-Lethal Self Defense
When you want a non-lethal self defense stun gun that works at range instead of arm’s length, the TASER Pulse 2 is the one I recommend. It gives you 15 feet of standoff distance before a threat ever gets close.
Our Top Pick: TASER Pulse 2 Conducted Energy Weapon
I spent years relying on distance and decision-making under pressure. This device gives you both. The 15-foot range means you don’t have to let someone get within grabbing distance to defend yourself — that’s the biggest weakness in most stun guns. The laser sight helps you aim under stress, and the LED flashlight means you’re not fumbling in the dark when it matters most.
- 50,000 volts with a 15-foot effective range
- Built-in laser sight and LED flashlight for low-light situations
- Rechargeable lithium battery, 2 cartridges included
Price: $399.99
What Makes a Good Non-Lethal Self Defense Stun Gun
Not every stun gun is built the same way. Before you buy one for personal protection, look at these things:
- Range — can it stop a threat before they reach you, or only after
- Battery — rechargeable means it’s ready when you need it, not dead in a drawer
- Backup cartridges — a miss shouldn’t mean you’re defenseless
- Visibility features — a light helps you see and helps you aim

FAQ
Is a stun gun legal for self defense?
Laws vary by state and city. Check your local regulations before you buy or carry one.
How is a stun gun different from a taser?
A stun gun requires contact. The TASER Pulse 2 works at range, up to 15 feet, so you don’t have to be close to the threat.
Do I need training to use one?
No special training is required, but I recommend reading the manual and practicing safe handling before you carry it daily.
