I heard about a situation where a man bought a stun gun for protection. One day, he was walking in the park and thought he saw a mugger approaching.

Later, when he was telling his friends about it, he made it sound really funny as he described how he almost zapped an innocent jogger.

I know a story. A security guard at a mall was chasing a shoplifter. He reached for his stun gun but in his haste, he dropped it.

The guard was just as surprised as the shoplifter, but managed to catch him.

Well, stun guns in science fiction can have various forms and functions. Some are designed to be handheld devices, much like the ones we might imagine in a futuristic police force's arsenal. They can be modified to have different power levels, depending on the situation. In certain science fiction stories, stun guns are also integrated into other equipment, like a part of a spacesuit's utility belt. This shows how they are an essential part of the fictional technological world, used for self - defense or subduing unruly individuals without causing permanent harm.
