Kevin loved his work. As the night watchman for a warehouse, he got paid to exercise. Spending seven hours a night taking laps of the facility gave him a good workout, and he enjoyed the relative peace and quiet of working overnights in the city.
Kevin wasn’t crazy about the neighborhood he worked in, but he figured he was far better off being locked inside the warehouse overnight than running into some of those lowlifes on the street.
As he made his rounds one night, Kevin heard a clattering from one of the storage lockers. He wrapped his hand around the handle of his Stun Baton, which hung in a holster from his hip. He convinced his boss to let him carry one after a friend of his who works as a prison guard shared stories of how the same piece of equipment had saved his life during a riot.
Kevin crept around the corner and observed a looter busting his way through dozens of cardboard boxes, tossing precious looking items into a burlap sack. With a flashlight in one hand and his Stun Baton in the other, Kevin approached the criminal.
“You there!” commanded Kevin, “put your hands up!”
Mistaking the Stun Baton for a plain old nightstick, the looter tried to hustle past Kevin toward the exit.
Big Mistake.
As the criminal ran past, Kevin reached out with his Stun Baton, its twenty-inch length easily closing the gap between Kevin and his target. Three seconds later, the Stun Baton had emptied 500,000 volts of energy into the looter’s quivering frame.
Kevin managed to stop the criminal cold and recover a family’s prized personal belongings, all without breaking a sweat.
So much for his workout!
