The Stun Gun

The Yellow Jacket Smartphone Stun Gun Phone Case is a contact defensive weapon. This means that the device must come in direct contact with the attacker for it to be effective. While it may obviously be deployed (fired) in what would be considered a "warning action", by dry-firing it towards a menacing adversary, for it to actually inflict a painful and incapacitating electrical discharge (shock) on an attacker... It must come in directly with the attackers' body.

There are specific advantages of this type of required contact deployment. The chances of "missing" the attacker are minimized as nothing must be aimed and fired at the attacker. The Stun Gun can be used on multiple attackers in quick succession. It does not need to be "reloaded", between each deployment (shock). The device can be deployed against the adversary who attacks a victim from behind... Attempting to grab them in a constricting manner of some kind. It is much easier and effective to deploy a contact Stun Gun in a crowded environment such as subways, large gatherings of people in extremely close proximity such as public gatherings or concerts, inside a vehicle or elevator, etc.
