How the Cell Phone Stun Gun Was Used

Following is a story how the Cell Phone Stun Gun was
used in self-defense.

Rachel hated the subway. She grew up in a small town in
Washington State, so she enjoyed being outside at every chance
she could get.

As an attorney in the big city, she often had to get to work at
an hour that most folks were still dreaming in their beds. So she
used the twelve-block walk from her apartment to her office as a
chance to spend some quiet time enjoying her surroundings.

Still, she often felt a little nervous about walking those
streets alone. So she picked up a Cell Phone Stun Gun for self-protection.

It looks just like a regular phone, complete with a holster and a
belt clip. And nobody's going to question a well-dressed
businessperson walking down the street holding a cell phone.

Rachel's intuition paid off one Thursday morning, when a junkie
burst out from behind a dumpster and started screaming at her to
hand over her purse. As she put her hands in the air, she used
her thumb to disable the safety lock on the Cell Phone Stun Gun.

Rachel grabbed her purse with her other hand, tossing it past the
criminal. As he bent over to pick it up, she jabbed the Cell
Phone Stun Gun in the small of his back, shooting 950,000 volts
of electricity through his body. She never even had to take it
out of its carrying case.

With her attacker curled up on the ground, Rachel pulled out her
real cell phone to call the police. Her colleagues always
wondered why she carried two cell phones. They usually assumed
that a powerful woman needed them both. Rachel grinned as she
realized they didn't know just how much power she really wielded.

Personal Safety Tips - Confronting danger

• Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, something is probably wrong.
• Be aware of your surroundings.
• Walk close to the curb, facing oncoming traffic.
• Carry bags close to your body.
• Look confident.
• Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back.
• If you are being followed, head for a crowded place.
• If people start milling around you, it could a set-up for a mugging.
• Know yourself, how do you react in a crisis situation? Do you scream, cry, freeze? How would you defend yourself?
• Remember there is no right or wrong approach to dangerous situations.
• Show your anger, not your fear. a furious reaction often may stop an attack. Remember an attacker is looking for an easy victim. Yelling is always a good deterrent (a good choice is to yell FIRE) this will draw attention to those who do not want to get involved but may be concerned for their own safety and may come to help.
• If there are other people around, yell loudly enough to get their attention to what the assailant is doing.
• If you are alone and do not know anyone on the street or nearby, try calling a name out to make the attacker or assailant to believe you may be with someone. This may also help if you are alone at home.
• If someone has a weapon stay calm and wait for an opportunity. Weapons make the situation more dangerous and difficult, but there still may be something you can do about the situation.
