To be fair, I think what he's saying (Ty, not Kerry) is that the guy standing guard outside asked for permission to carry a big stick so that he could scare away bad guys, and we said okay, here's your stick, but then he went and clobbered some bad guy with it, which is far beyond the scope of use he implied that he would make of it.
It's at least colorable, but it's weak as hell. You can't issue the stick and then claim that you never meant for it to be used. If you wanted the use limited to "only hit people who are trying to come in", you would say so up front. You wouldn't say that it was obvious that that's what you meant later, after he hit someone with it. Unless you were covering your tracks.
