Personal defense device

A personal defense device, comprising:

• an elongated, electrically non-conducting, hard, rigid, generally cylindrical, hollow tube with a handle end, an electrical discharge end opposite said handle end, and a circumferential wall;
• first and second electrodes extending from said electrical discharge end of said tube;
• electrical circuitry disposed within said tube, for increasing voltage to a high level for selectively producing an electrical discharge of stunning intensity from said electrodes;
• a high intensity light disposed in said tube and selectively projecting light radially therefrom;
• said high intensity light producing sufficient illumination to temporarily visually disable a person at whom said high intensity light is directed and activated;
• a selectively rotating collar disposed circumferentially about said tube and over said high intensity light;
• and
• said collar further including a plurality of colored lenses and one open passage circumferentially disposed therein, whereby said collar is selectively rotated to position one of said colored lenses or said open passage over said high intensity light for selectively filtering illumination from said high intensity light as desired.

• first and second electrodes extending from said electrical discharge end of said tube;
• electrical circuitry disposed within said tube, for increasing voltage to a high level for selectively producing an electrical discharge of stunning intensity from said electrodes;
• and
• at least one user replaceable electronic component disposed within said tube;
• an access cover disposed over said at least one user replaceable electronic component;
• a selectively rotating collar disposed circumferentially about said tube and over said access cover;
• said collar further including at least one open passage circumferentially disposed therein, whereby said collar is selectively rotated to position said at least one open passage over said access cover for accessing said access cover for removal thereof to access said at least one user replaceable electronic component.
