do you actually have to touch the person to shock them

yes... Two contacts on the front of the unit are what gives them the electric shock.

Yes, you have to touch the person to shock them. There are contact points on the front of the unit and they have to touch the person. BTW, you may have also noticed two sideways prongs sort of facing each other. When you press the button to fire the unit an arc flies between these two points making a loud electrical noise and a bright light and I think this alone would scare a lot of muggers, purse snatchers, etc. It's pretty loud and frightening.

It is, you've got to get a solid poke in though. If you are asking whether they can just respond to touch, however, the answer is no.

I tried it but didn't like it - it rubbed against his legs. I like a shock collar. I gave him a mild shock once and that's all it took. Now he responds immediately to all my commands, stop, heel, etc.

Yes, the attacker must be touched with the contacts at the tip. The good thing about it is that it packs a much greater punch than could be advertised.

Your dog is just surprised by it, not so much scared. If you use it on yourself, you can just feel the electric current. It doesn't really hurt. You may jump the first time because you're not used to feeling that sensation, but it is not painful. You should try it on yourself. I will not shock my dog with a setting higher than I've tested on myself (I feel this is a humane way to use it). But to answer your questions, 1 is the lowest shock setting and it's "surprising" your dog, not hurting it.

It produces an actual shock to the target. I have not actually felt it my self but when the button is pushed you can hear the current run through the metal connectors.

No, you have to press the button. The alarm is really loud though. It will surely startle any attacker.

No, that's a different model. However, if you stick your finger in it, and are grounded, it will trip in a nano-second and you will not be shocked due the the GFCI circuit. The only time you can get shocked is if you contact both polls and are not grounded. You can prevent that with an AFCI circuit breaker in your circuit breaker box.

You have to touch the attacker...but, very effective...have kids and if someone grabs it off your wrist the pin comes out and it cant be used against u..

You can shock the misbehaving dog only. You can not shock both at the same time anyway.

Well I haven't been attacked, but it's like any other device that shocks people. You have to touch it to them while holding down the button to administer the shock.

that is a good question, you might feel a small shock but most of the power from the stun gun will go to them, I have been shocked by my own and they def do hurt lol

It is not supposed to shock you at all. Please return the product, it me may be a defect.

You can test it by touching it. It gives off an extremely mild "shock" that will make you jump, but then you laugh. It does not hurt at all and our whole family had to try it out after my husband did first. It gives you an insight into how the squirrel might feel when touching it. They are not hurt, probably surprised and annoyed.

it is not really a shock but more of a vibration...but...it is strong and does sting!! have fun!!

No, if you look closely, there is a button and a slide switch onthe same surface of the flashlight. The slide switch turns the light on... the red button activates the stun. Both cannot be activated at the same time. So if the light is on you won't inadvertently shock too. I got this for my wife and she loves it. Of note... the light is really bright too.

It delivers enough shock to deter animals but will not physically injure anyone that touches it. Kids will probably only make the mistake of touching it once. It delivers a pulse shock, not a constant shock. It will give anyone shocked a break to pull away.
