Granny Calls Collect
There are all kinds of things you can do with a cell phone, including email, texting, listening to music and even making calls. But a grandmother in the small town of Speake, Alabama discovered a new use for the device and it may have saved her life. She made it into a weapon.It started Saturday, when the woman discovered her porch light wasn"t working, so she opened the door to check on the reason. That"s when cops say a man waiting outside forced his way into her home and threatened her with a Taser. It appears he actually used it on her, but the feisty victim didn"t go down.
Instead, she grabbed the nearest weapon she could find to fight back - her cell phone. Cops have so far refused to say exactly what she did with the item or how it helped her defend herself. But it appears she may have beaten the intruder with it, wielding it like a blunt instrument until he fled.
Authorities are sure the stun gun was used, but can"t account for why it appeared to have so little effect. "She thinks she was hit," Lawrence County Sheriff Gene Mitchell told the Decatur Daily. "Why it didn"t put her down, we don"t know. Then she used the telephone as a weapon and fought back. The man ran off."
Police say there have been similar home invasion incidents in the area over the past few months, but this was one grandma who had had enough. "She just wasn"t going to put up with it," Mitchell concludes. He credits the fact that the woman"s small granddaughter was home with her at the time for her courage to fight back. Both have since been relocated because the suspect remains at large.
This may be one way to use a cell phone, and for the above story, it was an innovative way for grandma to outwit and get rid of a predator. However, there is an effective phone that will stun the attacker without ever alerting them to the fact that it is not just simply a phone.
The Pretender 950,000 Volt Stun Gun Cell Phone is non-lethal, runs on batteries and is easy to conceal in a purse, backpack or just carry as you would a regular cell phone. It also has a bright flashlight built into it. It will definitely be a stunning surprise to a would-be attacker, immobilizing them and giving you enough time to get away and get help.
