We could relieve backpackers and campers of a lot of bear repellant and/or heavy revolvers or shotguns typically carried in our woods for protection and reduce the number of DLP (defense of life or property) dead bears (and mauled hikers who didn't shoot that well). If you use this idea, I and my hiking partner want a pair of free ones. I wouldn't even mind if the civilian version produced a 360 degree full circle effect. I would rather experience discomfort than a mauling or have to go tracking a wounded bear.
