During a sale after Thanksgiving, I ordered a Taser Strikelight 2.

The SL2 has three light settings (red, 400, and 700 lumens). It also has the electric shock function which is a “touch” thing. I have NOT gotten the courage up to zap myself, as the sparking is pretty darn loud and, in a dark area, surprisingly bright.

After about 15 minutes of messing with it, and checking out the performance of the flashlight at night in a rural area, I ordered two more, one for each of my adult daughters.

The two primary reasons I think this is a great gift for them is 1) because both live in rural areas and the zapper would absolutely stop any stray dog in its tracks, and 2) it’s a very good light, and would totally cover their large yards if deployed at night.

I also think this would make a better non-lethal weapon for woods carry than any spray. I am 100% speculating, but that sparking is absolutely intimidating and I think animals with keen senses will be particularly affected by it.

You have no range with these. They may seem impressive, but there is a solid reason "bear spray" not "bear prods" are used.
 
I hate to be negative, but because they're contact devices they're not a good alternative to OC spray's range and ability to "blind". As a backup to OC, yep!
