I have looked into get those stun guns. Personally, I think that many people would not want to have that gun in their home but you have to be able to protect yourself against someone that would be bigger and stronger than you and this is a great little device to have nearby in case such occasion should arise. And if you have a girl that is in college this is a great thing to have in her pocketbook in my opinion. I know that I would absolutely get one for my daughter if she were in college. Prevention is everything these days.
