VIPERTEK VTS-195 - 53 Billion Heavy Duty Stun Gun - Rechargeable with LED Tactical Flashlight
Rechargeable batteries so unlike Mace you don't have to worry about it expiring..
Anyone here who doesn't have pepper spray needs to pick one up.

Theres a two pack. Give one to a friend.
Always test it once downwind first. Each cannister has about 20 shots.
If you ever have to use it never pussy foot it, otherwise you'll just escalate the situation and potentially freeze. Unload the thing on the attacker so that you're 100 percent sure it'll incapacitate
They're cheap, it's not like you're wasting gas or something.

There's that thing too. Those are good from close range.
It's good to get brightly colored ones so you can easily find it.
The pepper spray with the plastic shell is better because the grip makes it obvious which way it's pointing.
But again, always test them to make sure they aren't defective. There's always a chance that you have a dud that doesnt spray right.
Wow this thing is so cool.

I want one.
OK, here's the deal: I'm a cop who has a fair bit of experience with the whole "self-defense" thing. If you want your wife to be able to protect herself from some kind of attack, a knife is an absolutely terrible way to do that. Don't get me wrong, a good pocket knife is something that everyone should carry: they are super useful for opening packages, cutting up snacks, even trimming hangnails in a pinch. But when a bad guy is trying to do you harm, a knife is a really bad way to stop it.
The very best thing your wife can do is to take a good self-defense class and learn some basic situational awareness, because the best way to win a fight is to avoid a fight. If she really wants to be able to protect herself, get her some good strong pepper spray. A good dose of this in the bad guy's face will give her time to run like hell and get help. Another good, but more expensive and less reliable, method is a Taser. Not some shitty stun gun that commonly gets called a "Taser," but and actual "probes shoot out and embed in the bad guy" Taser. Stun guns just cause a little sharp pain where and when they touch, but the taser gives you stand-off distance, and actually locks us the major muscles of the bad guy for 30 seconds (on this model, at least) if it gets a good hit. That said, I've used a Taser X26 on people a number of times, and when it works, it works great, but about a third of the time it doesn't work at all. A gun is a last-ditch choice, and then only if your wife is willing to put an enormous amount of time, effort, and money into instruction, training, and regular practice.

Terminator SGCPMC-980,000,000 V Smart Cell Phone Stun Gun - Heavy Duty Rechargeable With LED Flashlight https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IIH1TI8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_AzCxDbY762HVM
I'm making my calculations from Alibaba and Amazon,
Let's say 18,000 fireworks are about 5$ each? even though the huge fireworks cost up to 20$.
That's about 100k usd in fireworks.
Let's say the commando knives are 16$ each = 83k
Let's say the swords are Katana, and cost between 100$ to 200$ - 100k to 200k
Tasers 24$ - 132k
Flashlight Taser 21$ - 90k
I don't know how much the christmas decorations cost, or what are the "other cold weapons" in thousands. but i don't think it's cheap either.
I'd say this is about 1mil$ sent to harm people instead of food/medicine to he Palestinians.
I went with the 999,000,000 volt. Just for good measure.
It also comes with a safety pin so if it's snatched from me it can't be used against me
...take this.
While I sympathize with the officer I'll add that this scares me.
While I'm much younger than the man in the video, and know not to get out of the car, keep my hands visible at all times, etc., I have no idea if there are actions that I could do in the future that could get me in trouble.
What if I have my phone in my hand? It's solid black and rectangular. Could it get mistaken for a tazer? Probably not, but I could easily imagine gesturing (sorry sir, I didn't see the light back there (reaches over shoulder and points out the window with phone in hand)) such that an officer could perceive it as a threat.
Edit: More!
Or this. I may be an amazon addict
correct. It's not a taser. It's like a stun gun, but it's cheap. See this example.
"He's tried to buy a tazer multiple times on stream and can't find anywhere that sells one, I believe he's still trying."

Ok, long time kinkster and electricity enthusiast.
TL;DR Thing 1 and thing 2 But most important is Folsom Electric I can not begin to recommend their products strongly enough. They are expensive, but absolutely and completely worth every penny. My Folsom Bi-polar butt plug when used with a good TENS control box has given more people orgasms than any toy except my Magic Wand. I have tried many of the cheap knock offs, save your money, if you want a butt plug or a vaginal toy, only the Folsum Bi-polar butt plug is worth your money or time.
First off, don't worry about barefeet on concrete, that's now how DC current works. It only goes from the positive terminal to the negative terminal via the path of least resistance. If you lick a grounded metal pole while being shocked by 10 million volt taser, the result will be exactly the same as if you were in a rubber room. It'll suck, but it won't "hurt" you any more cause you are grounded. AC current is different. (Side note, Lightning is DC current, and it works the same as a stun gun, it's just that instead of to little metal electrodes the whole earth becomes one electrode, and the whole sky becomes the other. It's not the electricity that kills you, it's the heat)
Also remember that the strength and type of sensation is inverse to the area of contact. Lets use a strength scale of 1-10, 1 being licking a 9 volt, and 10 being a Stun Gun. A jolt of strength 8 delivered by a stun gun will wake you the fuck up. However take the same strength shock, and instead of delivering it through two small studs, deliver it through a couple big TENS pads, and sure, there will be some involuntary muscle contraction but it's not gonna hurt at all. So when using a cage to deliver the shock, the shock will be delivered by the whole cage evenly, and you will still need a second point of contact. In effect the cage is the positive connection, you still need a negative connection. So you'll need a TENS pad on your balls or something, and if that pad has a smaller surface contact area than the cage, you'll mostly feel the shock there.
Electricity is probably my favorite kink, even over chastity and sounding. Please ask me all the questions.
I'm just gonna leave this here.
You could always buy a stun gun
Or you could disassemble a camera and use the flash circuit
Or you could make your own using a flyback transformer

I found the link for you guys https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IIH1TI8/ref=twister_B01IIH1TQK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Alarm systems and Ring doorbells are reactive rather than proactive. They help the bad guys get caught after they break into your home and steal your stuff or injure/kill the occupants.
You want to be proactive. My 2 main focuses would be the following:
Things to think about for Main focus 1 (security):
As far as making it difficult for someone to get into your apartment, having the appearance of a hard target will help. Beware of dog signs are supposedly effective for homes, I don't know how they work for apartments. May be worth researching.
How secure is your door? How deep do the screws go into the door frame on the bolt? If it is less than 3 inches replace them. Consider a door jam, I don't have one of these yet but have heard great things about their effectiveness of resisting doors getting kicked in. Obviously won't help while you are out but is great for when you are inside.
How secure/reachable are your windows? Is it feasible that someone could get to your window with or without a ladder? Secure your windows as best you can. I am a fan of security screens for windows but on an apartment I doubt you are going to want to install those.
Do you have a balcony? How secure is the door/slider? If it is a door consider a door jam like for the front door. If it is a slider then make sure you have a security bar. Glass is a weakpoint, I like security screens as for windows, but if not an option security film may be.
Things to think about for Main focus 2 (defense):
I saw in a previous comment you are not comfortable having a gun in your house. I would suggest you get comfortable with it. A firearm is the most effect tool to use in self defense because it is a distance tool. It can be used to stop a threat before they get within range to do lethal damage. Also it is not uncommon for armed robbers to be equipped with stolen firearms themselves and you will be left at their mercy praying they are just thieves and not murderers. If you do decide to get a firearm to protect yourself and your home get some training. A good instructor will make you comfortable with firearm safety and help you develop good practices early to be safe and effective with a firearm. I realize you might not want to consider this option and it is your right to choose whatever you feel comfortable with but I wanted to mention it anyway.
Non-firearm defense tools you could utilize is flashlights, pepper spray, blunt objects (as lethal as firearms but not as effective for self defense), sharp objects (also as lethal and less effective), stun guns (can be effective against weak willed opponents).
Personally I always have a 800 Lumen flashlight, knife, and pepper spray on my body. In my home and car I also keep a 1000 lumen flashlight and large fixed blade knives. Although I would hope to never be in such a fight for my life that I have exhausted all my firearms and have to use them.
I would highly recommend you get a bright flashlight you are comfortable carrying with you and pepper spray. A bright flashlight can be blinding in low light, if you have to deploy it shine it in their eyes and use that opportunity to see what is in their hands. Pepper spray is not very effective against determined attackers but may be enough to buy you some time to escape.
You may also want to look into a stun gun to use when walking the dog to deploy if the pepper spray fails to stop your assailant. I have two flashlight/stungun combos for walking the dog.
You only get one life, when it comes time to act or die; act with everything you got and the tools you have available to yourself at that time. Hopefully you will never have to deploy those defense tools but keeping them handy could be the difference between a long life and one that ends that afternoon.
Good luck and stay safe
So would this be considered a stun gun, concealed as a flashlight or what? (I don't know much about either)

This is the one I have. I love it. The taser really works, I have brother in laws who were "willing" to try it out for me. :) I haven't tried it on a window yet, but hopefully I never have to!

I've used this the past 2 years and have never had to actually tase a dog. The noise and flash alone has been enough of a deterrent
As a man, allow me to translate what you see into how we see it.
By dating him, you've shown interest. He has every reason to think you're into him. By being busy and making excuses not to see him, you've shown that it's not that you're not interested (since you would've just said that - you've been dating long enough to know he's not psycho) [again, this is his perspective, not an objective truth] your life is just hectic right now. Solution? Make plans far in advance so you can plan around that [admittedly, he should get the hint when that doesn't work, but if he's even just a bit clueless, he won't].
So as we can see, you've got a slightly clueless guy that is going to feel a bit strung along (don't feel guilty - this happens). Here's how you break up with him. Call him up and say, "I think you're really sweet, but I don't think we can take this relationship any further." Now, I don't want to make it like you SHOULD be sorry, but if you WANT to, you can add a "I'm sorry if you felt I strung you along." to ensure he doesn't try to harm you, if you're genuinely concerned about that. Overall, though, you need to chill. Most people aren't violent so unless he's given you a reason to fear him, you gotta live your life, friend.
If you're REALLY worried someone will attack you, carry a stun gun. I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FHDZGGM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3C7IRSYS82UNR Decommissioned a road rager when he felt that I cut him off and wouldn't let me walk away. (he's fine, it's not a powerful stun gun)
Arm yourself. That is almost certainly not the only potential dog problem in your neighborhood. Get a stun gun. The sound alone will send a dog flying off. If not, jam it in his mouth. Get two, one for his ribs too.
One dog on my walk liked to charge across his yard and lunge up at the top of his 3 foot fence barking and snapping right at my face, until I lit up the zapper about a foot from HIS face. Yowled and turned tail. Not a peep in the months since.
Another neighbor's dog got loose and kept coming into my yard, I yelled at it and it would head back toward its place, but circle on me as soon as I turned my back (I know that wolf behavior shit.) So grabbed the stun gun and walked out about 20 feet from it and lit up the zapper, same as the other dog- total shock and awe, tail between the legs and gone home at full speed.
Weapon of choice, its a flashlight too:

*EDIT: Full Disclosure, I am a cat, and I will eat your fucking dog.
We have a few depending on how we’re gonna transport them. They are close quarters but they are the last resort. When it gets really scary is when there is nowhere to run. We live in Belltown and you could be cornered pretty quickly against a building. The taser is loud AF and a friend who is a cop says 5 seconds will knock you straight to the ground in convulsions. I told my wife, if you gotta use it ever...show them no mercy for you shall receive none....
Here’s one
Here’s another one
I'd take a Tazer, one of the ones that you have to hold against skin. The sound alone scares the fuck outta every dog I've ever met. I take one to the dog part to break up dog fights.
To me they dont feel much different. I have the same one that appears in most of these videos. I can hold it to my arm and hold it while its going off, really dosnt hurt that bad. Get one, they're pretty fun to mess with and scare your friends. Just don't think its gonna save you from getting mugged/jumped lol.

Stun guns and tasers are different, correct. Stun guns shoot those strings that connect with the assailant, a taser will only shock the person if it comes in contact with their body. The state of Ohio is very lenient with tasers. As long as they are only used for self defense, they’re perfectly within the law. Also, I would rather face penalties of the law than be raped or abducted. Coming from a girl who has already been followed this first week or so of school. Anyways, here’s the one I have, highly recommend it.

Here's 19,000,000 volts of deterrent for 25 bucks. Also doubles as a flashlight if you have a breakdown somewhere. I got this for my wife, she hasn't had to use it thankfully, but the noise that this thing makes when you activate it is enough to scare off all but the craziest of crazy people. Also if the wrist wrap is removed it will not allow the electrode to engage, so someone else won't be able to use it on you.
Lots of stun-guns use a 9 volt battery and a pushbutton switch to create a 2.5 centimeter (1 inch) spark. So the answer to your question is:
YES, it is possible to make a spark with a 9 volt battery and a push button switch.

OP should get a flashlight like this that blinds people. Or a much cheaper one like this similar to what I linked to previously, except this one has a stun gun.
You should buy a taser or some pepper spray
I'm a small girl, 5'3" and 110 pounds. Never been threatened by another charger, but have definitely felt unsafe given amount of homeless and crazies around where I live. I carry a taser - 10 bucks on Amazon, fits in your pocket, has a flashlight and it will let out a warning CRACK that scares the shit out of people without having to actually fire it. Highly recommend. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F4EM5N6 (comes in other colors than pink)
get one of these and tell him to back the funk off.

I just got me one of these suckers. I'm more likely to run away if attacked, but if that's not an option I would like a discrete, non-lethal weapon.
Fair enough. I bought one of these flashlight stun guns for my wife, it works well. It wouldn't immobilize someone, but just making it pop sends people ducking. Can also be used in your hand to punch and is a great flashlight and an okay strobing light. (Strobes hurt in the dark)

Bought this for my girlfriend when she has night class. She uses the flashlight on the stun gun instead of her phone whenever she is walking to her car after class... and by a quick switch of the button, it is ready in "stun" mode. When pressed, the noise of the stun gun going off is very audible. The noise alone would probably make an attacker back away. Size is small too, not too bulky, and fits fine in her small bag without taking much space.
Get a handheld stung gun and stun that mf'er. Nothing says I don't take shit from tweaker garbage like 38 million volts. After he is rolling around, zap that mf'er again just to assert your urban dominance!!! If he manages to recover before you get off the train, zap him again, hell, just keep him incapacitated until you get off, and then, make him say uncle and hock a lugie on his face as you leave.

This is probably my most "embarrassing" item.
If you knew what I looked like you wouldn't assume that I'd want to carry a weapon with me. I'm kind of a paranoid girly girl sometimes though and that occasionally embarrasses me. >.<
It's more then $5. Feel free to surprise me if I win. :)
I carry a stun gun. It's legal here. I've never used it and I hope I never have to, but it is nice to have in my hand whenever I'm alone just in case. It also has a flashlight which honestly gets way more use. This is the one I have in case anyone is interested. Really cheap, small enough to fit easily in my purse, and I've never had it run out of charge (only ever charged it like 2x in the year I've owned it).
I bought my girl a flashlight/taser
One of these bad boys. I keep one in my purse. It's fun to make it crackle every now and then when I'm alone.
Did he actual hit you with a TASER or just a "stun gun"?
A "stun gun" (like this: http://www.amazon.com/Monster-SG-M18000BK-P-Rechargeable-Stun-Gun/dp/B00KHSTTMA ) is even less effective than a TASER because it does not overload your central nervous system -- it relies on "pain compliance" (your nerves feel that electric shock and say "ouch!" and a conscious brain is supposed to say "hey, that hurts, maybe I should do something to make this not hurt").
A real TASER (tm!) has barbs that penetrate your skin with sufficient depth to create an internal electric current that overloads your CNS. If he actually shocked you with one of those, I'd be very impressed because he's got to be loaded (TASER reload cartridges are $30-50 each).
My short answer and best advice to you is:
Do not put yourself in a situation you can not comfortably get out of. Do not put yourself in a situation that can or will likely lead to a situation you can not comfortably get out of.
My long answer for posterity:
"Safe" is a relative term, something that is safe for me may not be safe for you. Austin has had a lot of issues lately with violence and sexual assault, In this context I would ask yourself the following:
If you cant confidently say yes, yes, no to those questions why take the risk? Just go to the gym, hit the trails during the day with light and heavier foot traffic.
&#x200B;
Lastly as for the taser recommendation, its not the worst suggestion but not the best imo. If they are close enough for you to taze you are already in deep shit and behind the 8 ball. Get a long throw pepper spray Do not let someone who makes you uncomfortable and wont leave you alone within reaching distance, spray them and beat feat to safety. You can carry the taser as a last ditch backup. In fact they sell combo taser / flashlights so you can kill two birds with one stone. Vipertek VTS-T03
Just my 2 cents on your question.
I've got this one with a flashlight. I have the light on during my run, and you can make the two points arc with a bright arc and crackle. I've never had to hit anyone with it just make the arc and noise.
It isn't a shooting one, it is handheld and you have to make contact.
The noise is really loud and I once held it and made it go off when I was first trying it out. My cat jumped so high from the surprise sound, I felt so bad I scared her that bad.
Let the pudgeball try and grab this from you. "Snatch Prevention - Should an assailant try to snatch the device from you, the shock plates on the side of the unit will also deliver a high voltage shock." Also, "Extremely potent and effective. I am 6'3" 230 lbs and it put me on the ground in half a second." Little pudgey should be what? 190? 200? Close enough!
I have one of these

There are a lot of tasers that look like they could be Bat-Tasers. Many of them have protruding "ears" at the business end.
I think this may be a little more economical, but just as effective.
Lol. I did think of that. I'm just afraid that if I was able to unbuckle my dog's leather collar, I could open a lock box.
I'm thinking of getting one of these though

As others have stated, tell others where you are going, when you plan to be somewhere.if possible check in with people. The bear spray is good one and a better one that the hornet wasp spray because it has a wider funnel of spray so it is easier to aim. With wasp spray you have to be careful not to get hit yourself, it is a neurotoxic so it can affect you too. And the effects can remain. Another option is a taser like this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MV7BOUT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_rbXTCbFJB1VCZ
They specifically designed to give you time to get away from the treat. They will zap for 30 seconds and it will take the person at least a minute to get control again over their muscles. If you pull the trigger again it will zap for another 30 seconds. These are allowed in all states after a 2016 Supreme Court decision. But with all means of self defense you have to think about step 2; how do you get away or keep the treat down. You could use these zip tie handcuffs and make sure to tie persons hands behind them https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3UAZ3B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_UfXTCb4WPP4G4
I am sorry that you have to think about this but the best advice is to go with someone else. If you live in an area where you are allowed to protect yourself with a firearm, get one and get training on how to use it correctly. Your life might depend on it.

In addition I would totally suit up and be a vigilante throwing annoying grenades
I agree with every saying to check the laws in your state. I personally live in the suburbs of a pretty big city in a low crime area. My office is also in a low crime area. I always carry my can of pepper spray and/or a charged taser when I'm walking to my car at night. In my state, you can't conceal-carry a taser, so I'll walk with keys in one hand and taser in the other. So far I've had zero incidents, but you can never be too safe!
Btw this is my taser. It's cheap,, has a flashlight, and it's PINK! :) https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01F4EM5N6/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1484760174&amp;sr=8-2&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&amp;keywords=taser&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=41bflzkxNHL&amp;ref=plSrch
You should consider getting pepper spray and a taser for when you aren't at home, first step is to check if they are legal where you are.
If you decide to get pepper spray, this kind is a gel, so you don't have to worry about where the wind is coming from. As for a taser, this one appealed to me because it is designed to make it difficult for it to be taken from you.
First off, please, don't give us heart attacks with the titles...you two are our hope for humanity. Secondly, I got this for my little sister while I was deployed so that she could have something for college. One of our dog handlers had one, and it works like a charm. I HIGHLY recommend getting something like this so Cass will feel safe(r)

Would this be a better solution? I'm thinking about buying one. Seems more effective than mace.
No problem, wish you the best of luck as well.
Here's a link to the stun gun I carry, definitely keep one of these in your pocket or your door too just in case. It's better than pepper spray in that you won't harm yourself if you need to discharge it.

But, honestly, a 12 gauge shotgun is best.
Kel-Tec, etc.
It has excellent stopping power and ia simple enough for any novice to use.
The fact of the matter is, if you are in a State that has gun owner and homeowner friendly laws, a shotgun is your best friend.
NTA. If your getting harassed by a cat caller, introduce them to my little friend.
I'm assuming you mean something like this, but unfortunately, it's not a great solution. Most stun guns don't work reliably on appendages and as a pain compliance tool, can be resisted by someone with a high pain threshold, thick clothing, or just a shit-load of drugs. I would count it as an improvised weapon, and perhaps if you're able to get it out in time, you may deter someone from attacking you. If you're actually fighting, however, it's a knife-like weapon but far less effective. You have to be square-on in order to hit with both contacts, and hold the stun gun there for maximum effect. Compared to a knife, which can cut very quickly and with glancing cuts, it's very slow and cumbersome.
IMO, pepper spray is probably the most effective, least costly solution. It holds the least legal culpability, can be used safely out of knifing range, can be used against dogs and wild animals, and doesn't require much in the way of training. The typical police-grade pepper spray canister can be purchased for ~$30 or so, and is way more useful.
Whenever I go out caching, I leave a note saying where I intend on going and what caches I intend on pursuing in roughly the order in which I intend to find them in.
While I'm in the field, I carry a walking stick with me. Mine is made of ash, is about 4' long, and tapers from about 1.5" diameter to about 1" diameter with a slight wedge on the 1" end. In addition to allowing me to easily poke around piles of leaves, push away branches, and knock down stray spider webs in my path, I can also hit a pitched baseball without fear of it splitting or cracking, so someone's skull won't be an issue. (Most baseball bats are made of ash, in fact.) That's my first line of defense. My second is a small handheld taser that I carry with me. (Specifically, this one.) It also functions as a flashlight so I can carry it without looking like I'm armed, and hey, it's a flashlight too.
In a serious situation I also carry a Leatherman with me which has two blades that can open at the same time, back to back, effectively giving me a sort of double-edged knife.
Fun fact: in America at least anyone can buy a low power taser without any ID or background check or anything. They only cost like $20 or $30 for a good one like this one on Amazon. Nothing that will drop an adult and make them wet themselves, but definitely strong enough to make that filthy Hobbit regret putting they damn toes on your armrest

I've thought about ordering one of these cheapo taser flashlights to see if they are remotely decent. Reviews on Amazon seem pretty good, but I have no experience with them.
I do like that it looks like a regular flashlight, and just shining that in someone's face is something that is passive yet ruins their night vision and would be cool to follow up with a taser jab to the neck if they persist in theory.

This is a civvie version of the X26p.
The old joke among cops and nurses is that "the winner of a knife fight is the one who dies in the hospital".
The legality of stun gun style weapons varies by jurisdiction in Maryland and the pendulum seems to be swinging back toward legalization; Annapolis rescinded their ban and Baltimore doesn't enforce theirs.
As cheap as it is, I carry this little sucker whenever I'm walking at night. I've only ever used it to illuminate the dogshit I'm picking up, but having the dual function is a nice supplement.
OP, I highly recommend you get something to protect yourself like a [stun gun] (https://www.amazon.com/Vipertek-VTS-979-Rechargeable-Disable-Flashlight/dp/B01FH2Q8QK/ref=sr_1_3?s=hunting-fishing&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1499706137&amp;sr=1-3-spons&amp;keywords=stun+gun&amp;psc=1). [This] (https://www.amazon.com/VIPERTEK-VTS-989-Heavy-Rechargeable-Flashlight/dp/B01FHDZGGM/ref=lp_3445248011_1_1?srs=3445248011&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1499706459&amp;sr=8-1) is the one that I have. The little metal bands down the front are electrified too, if someone tried to grab it away from you. Even without having to use it, it makes a very frightening sound. It is a discreet size too and can hang on a belt loop without bringing too much attention to itself, but again, this thing is fierce.
Might be a good idea to buy one of these
well they make them with taser prongs on them granted its a rechargable battery, but all you would need is a coil across the prongs and you're set
My brother gave me a taser when I moved out of the house but I'm afraid of dealing with someone who's already touching me. Does it not backfire if there's skin to skin contact?
Edit:
It's looks exactly like this, but a different brand.
Ok, so that [stun gun] (https://smile.amazon.com/VIPERTEK-VTS-881-Micro-Rechargeable-Flashlight/dp/B01F8KL3T8/ref=cm_wl_huc_item) is amazeballs. Seriously. I carry a pocket knife with me when I'm out and about, that stun gun would be much better haha!

Knives are not a good self defense tool. I train in combat sports and we train in knife fighting and all i can say is EVERYONE in a knife fight gets seriously hurt.
Pepper spray is my self defense tool of choice. Can be used without being in arms reach of an assailant. If u want something by the bed, u can get a roll of industrial velcro from the hardware store and pepper spray and attach a pepper spray to the side of ur bed frame or bed side table.
U can get vibration alarms for the windows to sound the alarm if a window is broken. And/or window alarms meant for opened windows. A good heavy duty lock for the door.

Do you have Force Lightning?
The Olight actually looks perfect for my price range...
Have you heard anything about things like this?
I've come into this late and don't know if anyone's suggested these things yet, but just in case they haven't been I'll go ahead.
I'm glad to hear you've called the police and that they'll be patrolling your area more. In the meantime, you can buy a door brace to ensure your door stays shut while you're home, and pepper spray to keep by your bed. I would also recommend purchasing a pepper spray to keep on your key ring so that you have something on your when you are walking to and from your car.
You could also buy a taser gun, but I have no personal experience with them and could not vouch for them personally like I can for a door jam and pepper spray.
I'm sorry you're going through this. It's really scary to not feel safe, especially in your home, which should be a source of comfort for you. Take steps to make yourself feel better protected, and continue to call the police if anything else occurs. Do NOT hesitate to call them. I hope this situation gets taken care of quickly for you.

Just some examples!
Alright, First, Stungun not a taser, tasers are way more dangerous (because of how the electricity arcs between the two contact points). Just to help assuage some of your fears.
Second, your girlfriend might need to ease up about it if you qualify as "terrified" (but hey, I love a little terror for my subs, maybe it's your dynamic, just... check that you are really okay with this, I do a lot of work to establish consent, especially with anything this unnerving).
Now, on to your actual questions.
First, yeah, it sounds awful, but it's a real low amperage so it's fairly safe, and while it will HUUUUURT if done right, most of the time it's not that bad.
I have a similar model to the one above, and if you put it against your skin and trigger it, it hurts, but not nearly what you'd expect, for me it's barely enough to distract me. However, we've discovered if you do it through clothes, the intensity goes up about a hundred fold. THAT hurts BAD. However, it's never done any lasting harm. No burns, no internal damage, no palpatations, anything like that. Predominantly what it's doing is causing a painful constriction of the muscle it's in contact with, inlike a T.A.S.E.R., which runs the current through you between the two probes (in which case having your heart in that path can be REALLY F** BAD).
I'd avoid doing it in bondage, or really even in a constrained position. It's going to cause that muscle to tighten up hard, and apart from some people with some pretty intense training, your natural reaction is going to be impossible to control. If you restrict your movement you increase the likelihood of pulling or tearing something.
Electricity is dangerous, you should be careful no matter what people tell you about it. I suggest you look into general electro-play safety before proceeding with this.
In addition, I stepped up pretty slowly from a violet wand (which are great even if they aren't punchy enough for you, though I'll warn you they are the kind of toy that spends a lot of time in the closet). I then picked up This: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B004S36BTY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
and this:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FPE6UN2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
And I was careful with using them. I'm hoping at some point to step up to a full cattle prod, but since they aren't intended to be used on humans I want to do more research first.
The smaller uzi pen stun device is a lot of fun actually. While the Vipertek feels like being hit with an electrified sledge hammer, the pen feels like having a long sharp pin driven suddenly into your body.
Ok well everyone here is telling you the right thing in going to the cops. I read all the comments and I'm baffled that you think its a bad idea.
That being said, it is still important you do WHATEVER you can to stop someone from hurting you, regardless of the chance you have. If you think this guy is about to burst through your door with flying fists, you must do anything to give you an advantage.
The key here is not to worry about 'getting in trouble,' 'betraying my friends,' or 'being uncool.' The first thing that matters is yourself. The well being of your body is the most important thing, and the consequences are utterly irrelevant in comparison. While there is still the fact that you barely stand a chance, appreciating the likelihood of the event happening out of the blue is your only option if he will ignore a restraining order (which is both very unlikely and very illegal) Let me take this moment to reiterate that contacting the police and doing every confusing thing to get a restraining order put into effect is a solution several orders of magnitude greater than the one I provided. I am telling you how you should be prepared if this fellow does find his way to you.
Here's the main idea: you don't stand a chance, but if you are forced into a bad situation, use a predetermined strategy to rush and zap him with a powerful taser in order to give yourself the biggest advantage. But seriously, in order to give yourself the best chance of staying intact, use your imagination to prevent the fight at all costs. Contact the police, a relative, your neighbors, even something like a church. People will help you find ways to protect yourself. Until this crazy situation is sorted out, you should not focus on anything else at all, including school, work, concerts, sports. The ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS YOUR WELFARE. That's the bottom line.
Really? It looks like the one I have which hurts, but not that bad. I normally tap out after 6-8 shocks with it.
I read a post a while back of a girl with a crazy stalker, she had restraining orders but the police couldn't do much about it legally. She ended up getting a gun and shot him when he broke into her place at night. I don't know where you live or if you'd be comfortable with a gun, but definitely getting some sort of self protection is essential. Also a restraining order type thing if you haven't already.
You could also try a taser, this one is SUPER loud and scary to where if anything happens just the sound might be enough. It also has bars on the sides to where if he tries to grab it it will tase him.

be careful out there & make smart choices, no amount of $$$ is worth getting raped or killed
I have a stun gun that looks like a flashlight, like this one. I also routinely carried a gun. The only time I ever needed either I was actually conflicted about whether to stun him or shoot him. Fortunately the gf stepped in and talked him off the ledge.
Found it. And it doesn't look like anything I want to be on the wrong end of.
