Nota Nut: Whew! I thought I was the only one!
Seriously?
I think they're a good idea in general, not necessarily as part of a 'defense' scheme...but for safety/reliability/convenience in general. Though certainly they have 'defensive' applications as well...you know, those times when it might be nice to be able to drive away from a critter and be able to make it to the local State Patrol barracks.
I'm not sure what their price tag is, however...and if it is astronomical, they might not be worth it.
