Which statement describes when a drive stun occurs?

• A. The front of the DFSG, with or without a live cartridge, directly touches the body and the electrical charge passes to the body.
• B. The DFSG fires from a distance without touching the subject.
• C. The device only works when clothing is removed.
• D. The probe penetrates and locks into the subject's body.

Answer: (A)

Drive stun happens when you place the front of the device against the recipient’s body and deliver the electrical energy through direct skin contact. This description fits the statement because the energy passes into the body through that contact point, and it can occur with or without a live cartridge in the device. It’s not about firing darts from a distance, which is a different mode of operation. The other ideas—needing clothing removed or a penetrating probe locking into the body—don’t describe drive stun, which relies on direct contact to transfer the current.
