I have never heard of a gas powered gun used for self defense. Plus if someone mistakes it for a real gun you could have some real problems.
A stun gun is specifically made for self defense and would seem to make more sense to law enforcement when they arrive.
Pepper spray would be less expensive than a stun gun and you could use it at a greater distance (you have to be touching someone to use a stun gun on them).
Just remember that is is something that can only be used for self defense, if you use any of those things on someone and it is determined that you did not need to use it to defend yourself it would be an assault. I'm not trying to be preachy, just need to realize the responsibility when you have one in your hand deciding if you should use it.

A gas powered pistol is not going to help you unless it looks like a real firearm and can be used to intimidate. A stun gun is equally ineffective in a confrontation. By the time a conflict has reached the point of needing it, you are already embroiled in a physical altercation and can't get your hands on it.
The best defense is to be aware, and avoid confrontation all together.
However, of the two I would choose the stun gun, and it is a legal form of protection. Also, it is non regulated because so far has been non fatal in the majority of cases.

I have no idea , if its legal, u would have to contact someone of importance, in N.C. The stun gun is prob, better. Cuz the other one resembles a gun a lil too much. Imagine, pulling something outta ur car, that looks a lil like a gun in da middle of the night, and a cop sees. It woudlnt be a pretty picture! Self defense is very imporant. Just make sure u do it legal. and for now, carry some pepper spray with u!

You definitely want the stun gun. An airsoft gun is practically useless AND is commonly mistaken for a real gun by the cops. Get the stun gun so you don't have to amswer awkward questions about why you have a "gun" in your car, or why you don't have a life 'cause some asshole stabbed you dead because the airsoft gun you bought didn't do **** to him.

Stun gun is your better choice. The air soft is a toy that won't repel anyone. The stun gun will do the trick and you can get away in most cases.

Pepper spray is your best bet. A stun gun you have to be in direct contact with someone to use it and an iar soft gun is a joke. Pepper Spray can be used at a distance and is pretty hard core if you spray somebody with it. And it is totally legal anywhere!

I'd get the stun gun. Nothin like 100,000 volts of electricity going through a man to make him wet his pants and forget about you.

Go with pepper spray since you don't need to be close to the assailant, and never use a bb gun, if there is ever a mix-up police could think its real, and until they can hold it and examine it they can legally think its real and shoot you.

stun guns work very good, however i would recommend pepper spray, or both, they both have their faults, but if it something happens and they fail you are better off haveing some distance between you .
