Why do people continue to buy contact stun guns, despite them being the most ineffectual nonlethal weapons of all time?

@Chickie Carrying a gun isn't always the best option, but people who are interested in self defense should at least carry a viable alternative. Good examples include...

-pepper spray/tear gas
-high-powered tactical flashlight
-S.A.L.T. pepperball launcher
-shooting taser (preferably X2, X3, or Pulldown Gun)
-retractable baton
-blades (throwing knives, shurikens, etc.)

@BlueVeins Why you so pressed about what weaponry people chose anyway? Just curious. Is this your passion?

@Chickie It's a little bit of an interest of mine, and I... tend to despair in the sheer amount of violence and suffering in the world. And I think, maybe there wouldn't be so much if we knew how to defend ourselves from it properly. That's all.

@BlueVeins preparing the would be victims and discouraging the would be attackers — can’t say I disagree with you.
