Both stun guns and pepper spray have become extremely popular self defense tools over the last few years I am often asked about the legal restrictions on travel with these items. Even though both stun guns and pepper spray are legal in most states there are a few precautions that should be taken before you travel, especially if your travel plans include a commercial airline flight.

• First of all be sure to take a few minutes to check for restrictions on either product at your destination. Even though they are legal at you departure point, they will most likely be confiscated if your destination point does have restrictions.
• Second, all commercial airlines have restrictions concerning travel with disabling devices or chemicals. Neither pepper spray nor stun guns can be carried on your person or in your carryon luggage. You can however, place both items in your checked luggage. Pepper spray canisters cannot exceed a four ounce limit.
• Third, check to be sure that your pepper spray canister has a locking device. This will insure that it will not accidentally discharge in your baggage while on the plane.
• Fourth, be sure to tell the airlines that you have a stun gun or pepper spray canister in your checked luggage and that it is in a place where it can easily be located. They are obligated to check the pepper spray canister to be sure that it has a locking device.

The most important thing that I tell my customers when traveling with either product is not to try to conceal them. With the commercial airlines use of metal detectors and X-ray machines they are sure to be detected, even those canisters disguised as lipstick or other items. If you will follow these five basic tips you should be able to travel with both items without incident.

Here are two quick links to check for the areas with pepper spray or stun gun restrictions.

Stun Gun Laws and Restrictions

Well “Stun Master” has done it again. The new 2.7 million volt Multi-Function rechargeable mini stun gun is the latest addition to the Stun Master family and is more than just a stun gun. This highly advanced self defense weapon features not only an amazing 2.7 million volts of stopping power (which is sure to not only discourage any would be attacker, but leave the dazed and confused on the ground), but also has an extremely loud personal alarm; flashing emergency lights; a very bright LED flashlight; a built in battery charger; and a wrist strap/safety disable pin. The rechargeable NI-MH (Nichol Cadmium) battery is environmentally friendly and has a very long life.

It is obvious that their was a lot of planning behind the design of this stun gun. Its compact size, just 4.75″ x 2.5″ x 1″, makes it extremely easy to conceal, fitting perfectly into small hands. The extremely bright LED flashlight will not only help you find your way through those dark and eerie places at night, but can also be used to temporarily blind your would be attacker. The personal alarm and flashing red lights will draw attention to your situation, and with 2.7 million volts, well that’s just scary power.

The rechargeable NI-MH batteries are what the automobile companies are using in the new Hybrids. These batteries have no memory which allows them to be charged at random after just a few cycles instead of having to wait until the battery is completely discharged. This means that you can keep the stun gun charged to maximum capacity without fear of shortening the life of the battery. With the battery charger built right into the unit, you never have to worry about loosing it.

The feature that I find most attractive is the wrist strap/safety disable pin. If for some reason you are overpowered and the stun gun is taken away from you, as long as the wrist strap is around your wrist the stun gun will be disabled and it cannot be used against you.

Since 1994 Stun Master has been the pioneer for high quality, non lethal self defense weapons and with the addition of the 2.7 million volt Multi-Function stun gun, they will once again take their rightful place as the leader of the industry.
