Couple Repel Boarders With A Stun Gun

In the shallow waters off the southeast coast of Florida a man and his wife were enjoying a leisurely day of fishing. While the wife was below in the galley preparing the evening meal their sailboat was approached by a medium-sized speedboat. The two men aboard waved cheerily and, as they approached, said they were new to the area and asked questions about the local fishing.

Meanwhile, the speedboat drew close enough for Bad Guy #1 (BG #1) to get a good grip on the sailboat. Husband told BG #1 to let go. As he moved to kick BG#1’s hand off, Bad Guy #2 (BG #2) jumped aboard the bow of the sailboat while brandishing a large, semi-automatic firearm and yelling that the boat owner should lie on the deck, face down. Hubby did as he was directed, where BG #1 covered him with a handgun.

BG #2 headed aft, hollering for the wife to come up on deck and “join the party.” When she did not come up immediately, BG #2 headed down the steps to get her.

The wife, hidden behind the stairs, simply waited until BG #2 took a couple of steps down, then applied her stun gun to the bare calf of his leg. He shrieked, fell forward, and landed on the cabin floor where she stunned him a second time.

Meanwhile, up on deck, Hubby took advantage of the shift in BG #1’s attention and tripped him. BG #1 landed on the deck, hard enough to lose his grip on his gun, which Hubby recovered for his own use.

Below decks, the wife kicked BG #2’s gun away, but kept a firm grip on her Taser while Hubby radioed for help from the Coast Guard.

When interviewed later, the wife said that while she was deathly afraid of firearms and would never even consider using one, she figured she could handle a stun gun.

Turns out, she was right.
