They are legal it seems: https://www.criminaldefenselawyer.co...s-new-york.htm
Thanks, Glenn.
Long before I knew better, I bought a stun gun at a gun show. Years later, after reading multiple accounts of their ineffectiveness, I put it against my arm and turned it on. It was unpleasant, but certainly not disabling. If used for self-defense, it would seriously only succeed in getting the attacker mad at the user.
So, really she has pretty marginal technique. A lot of noise making little contact. I wonder if she would have deployed it on his median, ulnar or radial nerve just behind thumb, to effect release. I have only seen one online,vid where it made sense. Guy was basically using it as blows came in against the attacking limb. I am curious too as to efficacy of different brands as outlined in a paper available on the Saber Red site. Would love to see a True Taser product with smaller size and designed to “drive stun”
More optimum targets I would think are subxiphoid area (solar plexus), neck, axilla. All of these have large neural plexi which should cause more pain and activation, but really just speculation until one has a nice selection of devices, and suitable volunteer.

I doubt that the women for whom the stun gun was recommended in our little Nextdoor conversation for purse carry would have the slightest idea where any of the anatomical targets above are located. If they did because they trained, they would be better off without the stun gun and something else. Using it as an impact weapon is a different story.
