Non-Lethal Weapons

Here is an overview of some non-lethal weapons that seem to be worthwhile: The Kimber Lifeact Guardian Angel, Kimber LifeAct Jet Protector and the Taser C2.
These have all gotten pretty good reviews lately and could be useful in states where concealed carry is hard to do and for handling threats that don't warrant a firearm. They might be a step up from the billy club under the front seat.

Do you guys have any additional recommendations for non-lethal weapons?

I have several telescopes, but none are semi-APO, APO, or in anyway valuable.

A big stick. I am not a believer in non-lethal weapons for several reasons:

1. You cannot practice with them so you don't know how good you are at using them or if they will work at all.

2. They are useless against lethal weapons (this is a big one)

3. Their regulations/legality are not premptive under state laws, which makes their legality vary from one locality to another, which can cause legal troubles for the users.
