A combination lethal/non-lethal firearm device is disclosed wherein a lethal gun, pistol or rifle that conventionally fires solid projectiles in the form of bullets, is converted to a non-lethal defensive weapon by means of a novel canister unit attachment which will deploy a non lethal chemical fluid such as tear gas or pepper gas. The novel non-lethal apparatus uncomplicated in construction and is adapted for easy use and inexpensive maintenance. The non-lethal apparatus has a top portion which is removably attached to the underside of the barrel, and a rear mounting portion attached to a trigger guard of a firearm. The direction of fire of the fluid propellant therein is along the firearm barrel and in the same line of fire as the trajectory of a solid projectile bullet of the firearm. Activation of the chemical dispenser is achieved by a novel means of pressing a force application pad near the trigger guard, the force application pad being attached to a pivoting arm which communicates with an actuating button on the canister, whereby the chemical agent is propelled out of the apparatus. Because of the mechanical advantage gained by the pivoting arm, an extraordinary amount of strength is no longer necessary to deploy the non lethal propellant and a peace officer may quickly and easily choose the better of lethal or non lethal defensive procedures.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A removable firearm coupling non-lethal chemical agent dispensing apparatus, comprising:a firearm trigger guard mounting portion with a mounting arm extending therefrom;a housing unit attaching to said mounting arm at an opposing end to said mounting portion;a coupling portion being attached to said housing unit and receiving a firearm barrel and firmly holding said coupling portion in substantial alignment with said firearm barrel;a canister of chemical agent disposed within said housing unit, said canister having an actuating button and a nozzle tube in substantial alignment with said firearm barrel;a cap portion having an aperture to receive said nozzle tube, and an actuating ridge to receive said actuating button;an actuating lever being in communication with said actuating button, where application of force to said actuating lever produces torque along an axis to facilitate actuation of said actuating button and dispensation of said chemical agent.
