    With all due respect: 

    To reiterate, "You get what you pay for." If you're going to buy a
    gun, you don't buy a bb gun and expect to stop a criminal. If you're
    going to buy a stun gun, purchase the top quality model and brand--
    you're not going to stop a criminal with a 9-volt battery. 

    I'm sure those "stories" don't tell what model or brand those stun
    guns were, either. I wonder if that is in Consumer Reports haha. 

    To answer another question, yes I have seen both the best models and
    the cheap models in full action at shows, and some wearing very thick
    clothing (there are people who actually get paid to be tested on,
    thank God I wasn't one of them). Pepper spray? Same thing, you get
    what you pay for. 

    Choose your weapons wisely, just like your tools ;) 

    Also fyi, I don't own any weapons as I don't need them or want them,
    I just know about them; I operate on a different level of
    understanding with my surroundings. And no, I'm not a monk. 

    (This will be the last off-topic post, for me. I apologize in
    advance.) 

All the best,
Jim Sprague Jr.
