OT: this is SCARY....serious stuff!!
I am glad you are ok!! I watched a homeless guy grab at a middle school child on a bike at the stop sign by work one morning. He probley wanted the kids lunch money. I screamed as loud as i could to let him go! and he did.. thank the white bearded man above!.
On to the shopping part. No taser in the stores,no guns etc.. here is a funny for you.
P.S no animals or people were hurt during this demo.(Long sorry)
My SO is always a caring and ahead of time thinking guy. My safety is one of his prime worries(unsure why as if I am clumsy or something). This is his latest comfort for me.
Last weekend He saw something at Larry's Pistol &
Pawn Shop that sparked his
interest. The occasion was our 7th year anniversary and
he was looking for a little something extra for me.
What he came across was a 100,000-volt,
pocket/purse-sized taser(stun gun). The
effects of the taser were supposed to be short
lived, with no long-term
adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her/me
adequate time to retreat to
safety.... WAY TOO COOL!
Long story short, he bought the device and brought
it home. He loaded two triple-a batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button.
Nothing! He was disappointed. He learned, however, that if he pushed the
button AND pressed it against flesh or a metal surface at the same time, he would
get the blue arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.
Awesome!!!(so he thought)
Unfortunately, He has yet to explain to me what that burn spot is on the
face of our microwave.
Okay, so He was home alone with this new toy, thinking to himself that it
couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-a batteries, right?!!!
There he sat in the recliner, our dog looking on intently (trusting
little soul) while he was reading the directions and thinking that he really
needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood, moving target. He admits that he
thought about zapping the dog (for a fraction of a second) and thought
better of it. He is such a sweet dog. But, if he was going to give this thing to me to
protect myself against a mugger, He did want some assurance that it would work
as advertised. Was he wrong to think like this?
So,He tells me that he sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with his reading glasses
perched delicately on the bridge of his nose, directions in one hand, and
taser in another. The directions said that a:
one-second burst would shock
and disorient your assailant. a two-second burst was
supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control. a three-second burst would
purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground
like a fish out of water.
Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting
the batteries.
All the while he is looking at this little device
measuring about 5" long,
less than 3/4 in*****ircumference; pretty cute
really (and loaded with two
itsy, bitsy triple-a batteries) he claims that he thought
"there is no possible way it can be very powerful!"
What happened next is almost beyond description, but
I'll do my best to explain...
He was sitting there alone, the dog looking on with his
head ****ed to one side as if to say, "don't do it master," reasoning that a one-second burst from such
a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad..
He decided to give
himself a one-second burst just for the heck of it.
He touched the prongs to his naked thigh, pushed the
button, and HOLY MOTHER,
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION! (&# %&) (# %)
(&#*#*)!!!
He is pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked him up in
the recliner and then body slammed him on the
floor over and over and over again. He vaguely recalls waking up on his side in
the fetal position, with tears in his eyes, body soaking wet, both
nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with his left arm tucked under
his body in the oddest position, and tingling in his legs. The dog was standing over him making
whining sounds he had never heard before, licking his
face, undoubtedly thinking to himself (dog), "Do it again, do it again!"
Note: If you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself
with a taser, one note of caution:
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A ONE-SECOND BURST when
you zap yourself!!!
You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a
violent thrashing about on the floor. A three second burst would be considered conservative.
That hurt like hell!!! A minute or so later (He can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), collected his wits
(what little he had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. His bent glasses
were on the entertainment center. How did they get up there??? His triceps,
right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. His face felt like it
had been shot up with novocain, and his bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. He is
still looking for his testicles and offering a significant reward for
their safe return. Last word of Caution- Don't leave men home alone!

Take a self defense class and carry that pepper spray. Thats what I do... and I ran like hell the last time any man tried something on me. I would let the police know of the incident. Sometimes you can file an online report. But chances of finding that man are slim unless he does the same thing again. Let Mc Donalds management know... but they probably dont care...you never know. Also scream like hell if someone pops up again like that and poke them in the eyes. (or the pepperspray). Open the door and hit him in the crotch... Its hard to think of these things in the moment but a self defense class can help... Jess
Damn that would have freaked me out! I'd definately be calling the Mac D's management to let them know they should have done something about it. I'm thinking about getting some pepper spray too. I feel more vulnerable now that I'm smaller (I'm not small by any means though) does that make sense? Like before I could have just sat on somebody trying to attack me, lol.
OK, I'm not proud of it, but I worked at McDonald's for YEARS through high school and college(Actually, come to think of it, it was GREAT experience)...
Unless that particular McDonald's is NOTHING like the three different ones I worked for in a few different states, here's what SHOULD have happened when you said that into the speaker: The employee should have kept the speaker "on" and hollered to their nearest manager or co-worker to call 911. Here's why: their policy is (or at least, it used to be) not to put employees unnecessarily in harm's way. For example, if someone came into the store to hold it up, and an employee in the rear heard it, they were not to come up to the front and try to be a hero. Instead, they were to make their way to the phone and dial 911 to call for the right kind of assistance.
I know that seems harsh, but if the guy DID have a gun, not only would you be in danger, but whoever else they sent out there into that scene.
WTH did they tell you about it when you got to the window??? If they didn't give you this kind of explanation, and if the manager didn't come to the window and tell you exactly what they had done to try to get you help, I would DEFINITELY call the store manager, owner and corporate! Not to mention, THE COPS!!!!!!
Dang, I am SOOO glad you are OK!!!!
((((HUG)))) Love ya!

When in doubt, empty the clip. There are certain advantages to living in Texas after all.
The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.
