Gangster Stopped by Blast of Light

As a paramedic, I come across people in their times of greatest need. Unfortunately, some of those people are the bad guys. After my shift one morning, at 2:00 a.m., I was driving south on a deserted part of highway 99. A stabbed gangster, who I'd helped a few hours earlier on my shift, had lived, thanks to my help. That didn't make the rival gang that stabbed him very happy. They wanted my life, since I was also a witness to what had happened to the guy.

I didn't notice at first that I was being followed, but then a sedan pulled up beside me. The driver flashed a gun and yelled at me to pull over. Then I flashed something at him: 120 lumens of blinding light from my 6P® Defender®. The sudden burst of light completely overwhelmed him, causing him to slam on his brakes and swerve away. The California Highway Patrol then captured the gangster and charged him with multiple felonies.

I enjoy my job and love helping people in their times of need. Thanks to SureFire coming to my aid in my time of need, I can continue doing so.
