The only reason police carry sprays, tasers, and stun guns is to appease blissninny zealots who will try to paint them as evil after a legitimate shooting, by being able to say that they tried something else before they had to use deadly force. The have been SUED into a position where they have to. It doesn't make it a good idea. If you think carrying two or three layers of less-lethal weapons is a good idea, this assumes that you have trained in how to use each one correctly, WHICH INCLUDES HAVING IT USED ON YOU AS WELL. When in a confrontation, you will be aware of which weapon is appropriate, and you are willing to draw and use multiple weapons in an encounter. This makes your plan so ridiculously complicated it is absolutely impossible that it will work. People are killed with less lethal weapons every year. They often have reduced or no attack on bad guys. Sprays work BOTH ways. Stun guns are contact weapons, which means you have to get CLOSE to the bad guy to use it. I DON'T WANT TO GET ANY CLOSER TO HIM THAN I HAVE TO. The advantage of a gun is that you can drop back three steps, and still be able to defend yourself while the bad guy can't touch you.
I know you feel really cool with all that stuff on your belt, but you need a better plan.
