IF you were in contact with the bear would you get the jolt too?


Good question? Of course if the bear had a hold of you, getting a jolt of high voltage/low amperage would be the least of your worries. ;D
Most stun guns I've seen have the trigger/handle oriented in such a way, that the business end has to be pointed away from the user.
Problem with a stick/camp axe, is that if your in your tent, you don't have the space to use it?
That stun gun would be for close quarters/last ditch measure only.

I keep Bear Spray in tent along with my knife.
Worse case scenario, I take a deep breath/close my eyes and hit the spray.
I figure I could crawl to water and rinse off as long as the bear is incapacitated or driven off.
