The non-lethal weapon fixture includes a carrier having a contact point and a separation indicator connected to the carrier. The contact point is configured to interface with a non-lethal weapon. A separation signal is transmitted by the separation indicator upon separation of the non-lethal weapon from the carrier. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A non-lethal weapon fixture, comprising a carrier comprising an enclosure and a contact point positioned within the enclosure; a non-lethal weapon interfacing with the carrier at the contact point; and a separation indicator connected to the carrier and configured to initiate a separation signal upon separation of the non-lethal weapon from the carrier, the separation indicator including an electrical circuit configured to transmit the separation signal to a transducer upon separation of the non-lethal weapon from the carrier. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The non-lethal weapon fixture of claim 1, wherein the separation indicator is configured to transmit the separation signal to the transducer at a remote location relative to a location of the carrier upon separation of the non-lethal weapon from the carrier such that the transducer initiates an audible alert from the remote location upon separation of the non-lethal weapon from the carrier. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The non-lethal weapon fixture of claim 2, wherein the location of the carrier and the remote location are within the same room. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The non-lethal weapon fixture of claim 2, wherein the location of the carrier and the remote location are within separate rooms. ### Claim 5 A non-lethal weapon fixture, comprising: a carrier having a contact point; a non-lethal weapon contacting the carrier at the contact point; and a separation indicator connected to the carrier, wherein a separation signal is transmitted upon separation of the non-lethal weapon from the carrier at the contact point. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The non-lethal weapon fixture of claim 5, wherein the non-lethal weapon is irritant spray. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The non-lethal weapon fixture of claim 5, wherein the separation indicator includes an electrical circuit to transmit a separation signal, the electrical circuit being openable based upon the contact of the carrier at the contact point with the non-lethal weapon. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The non-lethal weapon fixture of claim 7, wherein the electrical circuit is open when the non-lethal weapon is in contact with the carrier at the contact point. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The non-lethal weapon fixture of claim 7, wherein the electrical circuit is closed when the non-lethal weapon is in contact with the carrier at the contact point. ### Claim 10 A method of defense with a non-lethal weapon, the method comprising: positioning the non-lethal weapon at a carrier such that the carrier interfaces with the non-lethal weapon at a contact point; transmitting a separation signal upon separation of the carrier from the non-lethal weapon at the contact point. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein transmitting the separation signal includes initiating an audible alert. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein transmitting the separation signal upon separation of the non-lethal weapon from the carrier initiates the audible alert from a remote location relative to a location of the carrier. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising enclosing the non-lethal weapon in the carrier to contain the non-lethal weapon within the carrier. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising maintaining an electrical circuit connected to the contact point such that transmitting the separation signal occurs upon the opening of the electrical circuit. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein transmitting the separation signal occurs by closing an electrical circuit connected to the contact point. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein transmitting the separation signal includes transmitting the separation signal to a remotely located non-lethal weapon fixture. ### Claim 17 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, wherein transmitting the separation signal includes transmitting the separation signal to a plurality of remotely located non-lethal weapon fixtures. ### Claim 18 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising: receiving the separation signal at a signal receiver; and transmitting a second signal from the signal receiver to a remote location. ### Claim 19 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising: receiving the separation signal at a signal receiver; and transmitting a security signal to at least one building actuation module. ### Claim 20 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising: transmitting the separation signal to a location within a room containing the carrier; and initiating an audible alert from the location upon separation of the non-lethal weapon from the carrier.
