My father’s parting gift to me when I got my own place was a pair of cell phone stun guns. I am aged 24 now, and I could be 40 but still be the daughter he wants to safeguard with self-protection tools.
Being out and about to conduct business with unfamiliar faces did not compel me to take his cautiousness to heart. But after an experience that put my life on the line, I saw the error of my ways.
I went out to meet a client and personally deliver an order of beauty products. I brought one of the cell phone stun guns that my dad had given me as self-protection tools.
I was surprised to find a man waiting to meet me, not the woman I was expecting. He claimed to be my buyer’s brother and that his sister could not get out of another meeting.
Something didn’t add up that cell phone stun guns kept flashing in my head and my hand made its way to my purse where one was. The more he added to his tale, the more I worried.
We seemed to be simply walking while talking, but I found he had tricked me to following him to a deserted spot, the kind that often required self-protection tools. The moment I caught him drawing some item from behind him, I fired my stun gun.
I wasted no time in hitting him with the stun gun. Perhaps he never saw it coming as my weapon looked like any normal cell phone, so he made no attempt to stop me. He dropped to the ground and then I saw it was a knife he had held in his hand.
As I escaped, I could not help pondering my luck after accepting cell phone stun guns at my father’s suggestion. His regard for self-protection tools benefited me as it surely would my brother, to whom he bequeathed a Taser device.
