I was able to find this on the Amazon listing page.

"Due to restrictions in some states, county and city laws we do not ship to the following locations: Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois, New York, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, District of Columbia, Annapolis, MD, Baltimore, MD, Chicago, IL, Philadelphia, PA, Baltimore County, MD, Crawford County,IA."
I'd suggest pepper spray over a stun gun. Stun gun requires very close contact. Pepper spray you can at least step a few feet back and use. Just my .02
If someone is wearing thick clothes, the stun gun may not work.
If a person is on heavy drugs, neither may work LOL
I don't mean to threadcrap, but I don't get how this got to go FP...

First of all, the price difference with Amazon is only a couple of bucks, and the Amazon seller has 99% positive feedback (or actually only a few cents price difference for the VTS-103)

Second, there is NO PRODUCT INFO on the Vipertek website. I mean there is a useless catalog which has NO SPECS, NO RATING, NO POWER OUTPUT in µC. Seriously. What kind of BS is that? What kind of manufacturer is that that doesn't put product specs in their own product listings on their own web site? That's just plain stupid and shady, Sorry. See vipertek.com

I tried figuring out the differences between their various products, and I found a couple of comments that mention that TS-195 is supposedly around 1µC as rated by SABRE (their competitor) but TS 103 is less that 0.5µC (good enough to just scare but not seriously incapacitate).

If you guys are serious about this for personal protection, why not spend extra $10 and purchase this

https://www.amazon.com/SABRE-Tact...pons&psc=1

for $22 instead, rated 2.517 µC - much higher than *any* of the VIPERTEK products (according to the scares info I am able to find).

Also Sabre seems to be much more reputable and seems to be used by police departments around the country. Also sold by amazon.com rather than a 3rd party dealer.

Seriously. Thanks to OP for bringing up the topic, but I don't see how this is either a FP deal or a good product. Unless you want to save $5 and get your ass beat because you used underpowered piece of junk instead of something with the actual stopping power...

For the record - I know nothing about the stun guns, I was just shocked by the complete luck of info or specs on most of the VIPERTEK listings including their own web sites, and with a little digging seems like pretty substandard product with much better comparable products selling for just a few bucks more.

Where do you live that you got stray dogs roaming around
Just a regular neighborhood where loose dogs are running around that escape from their house or their owners let them roam free. Animals can be unpredictable. Just playing it safe. Some protection is better than no protection.

Pepper spray is pointless against aggressive breeds. They will just keep on coming and at best you're just going to upset them even more. Additionally, stun guns will conduct through most clothing because the two electrodes will cause it to arc through thin layers of clothing.

On a separate note, I use a Vipertek VTS-T03 for work. Vipertek is a very reputable. The only reason I use the other model is because it's also a flashlight, and looks like one, so it's non aggressive looking if I have to pull it out and less likely to get others riled up unnecessarily. As far as dogs, your best bet is just to carry a heavy blunt object like a baseball bat. It will help you maintain a fair safe distance if a dog gets aggressive, and if all else fails you can take a swing at it and possibly disable it from attacking.

Same one I use, except mine is blue. Less intimidating, especially when I just need to pull it out to use as a flashlight. Any of their products are good though and your deal is a good price for that particular model.

I mean that's one extreme, obviously not what I'm referring to.

Bear spray might work better than pepper spray against the four legged animals. Maybe the two legged variety too, I don't know.

Its the crackling sound is what gets the dogs attention, discouraging their attacks. It worked once when i was walking my dog and another dog was about to attack my dog. VTS-T03 the one with the flashlight is the one i have that i bought when it was on sale here on sd. It i recommended to try the stun gun on yourself so you know its effects. It just stings for a sec when i tried in my thigh. I still carry pepper spray and a knife for self defense, stun gun to scare dogs.
