I suggest to people who carry firearms for defense not to carry non lethal "weapons" as well. It seems to me that it could cause more problems if you have to fire your weapon at someone. In my opinion it sets you up to fail in your argument of I had no other choice but to fire upon person X. Well you did have another option you could have stun gunned or pepper sprayed or whatever else. You may also look overly aggressive with a belt full of gadgets like you're batman. After the fact these perceptions matter. They could mean the difference between you going free or going to prison.
For Bears or other animals attacks or threats you shoot first and ask questions later. If an animal charges me I'm going to shoot it and I'm going to shoot it until it is dead it would be inhumane not to kill it after shooting it once. Animals that threaten people don't get second chances in my book. The next person may not have a weapon to defend themselves. So don't pass the problem along. Put the animal down as humanely as possible and be done with it. Again this is just my opinion and you need to decide what is best for you and your family. I'm just putting that out there as something to think about.
