 "I am a full time Culinary Student at the Arts
Institute of Houston. On February 10, 2004 I was on my way
to Reliant Park because I had landed a job cooking at the
Super Bowl. As I was exiting off of 610 at the Kirby exit
I blew out a tire. As I was changing it, a man approximately
6 foot, 220 pounds pulled behind my vehicle. He approached
me and asked several times if I needed any help, and I repeatedly
told him that I had it under control. He had alcohol on his
breath and seemed to be getting annoyed with the fact that
I did not need his help. At this point I was beginning to
feel uneasy of his presence. He started to reach and grabbed
my arm and at this time I pulled out my 80,000 volt Mini Talon
out of my pocket and stuck him once in the stomach and it
stopped him. I stuck him a second time in the heart area and
he fell to his knees and hit the concrete, face first. While
he was on the ground I struck him again in the back of the
neck. Scared, I left the scene and then realized I needed
to turn around and return. As I drove up a Police Officer
and Paramedic Unit arrived too. The Paramedics brought him
to with an ammonia vial. They loaded him onto the stretcher
and placed him into the ambulance. The next two days this
man was on a respirator while they reestablished his heart
rhythm. He was eventually released from the hospital and arrested
for attempted assault. As of this writing I have heard nothing
more from this incident. Afraid for my own safety that day,
I feel the Mini Talon Stun Gun possibly saved my life."
