Byrna self defense

[CHenry]

I wasn't thinking about you doing it while on duty as LE. My bad.

But I'm not a LEO nor am I considering buying this. Your bad again.
I think it looks legit for someone to defend themself but dont want to kill anyone. I was simply asking that question.
And it requires no special permit or anything, just like a taser I guess.
Reading comprehension seems to be your short straw.

They say they are legal in all 50 states but I definitely wouldn't want to have to use one in say NY.

 

[boocat71]

Looked at them a little bit. My understanding is in NY and California you can only use the rubber balls no Chemical irritant.

I saw a corrections officer shoot an inmate multiple times with one before the inmate choked him unconscious. I wouldn't bet my life on it

 

[RockHopper]

Yes... I've shot one several times. Did you have particular questions about it?

 

[JamesBell]

When I worked in corrections we had pepper ball guns. Used to shoot one another with them regularly at SORT training events. The things were wholly ineffictive. Getting hit wasn't a pleasant experience but it wouldn't stop you from doing something unless you were looking for an excuse not to do it. Unless this thing has a great deal more energy the kinetic rounds aren't something I could imagine doing anything useful.

Both of my brothers have one, I do not share their opinion of it's stopping ability.

 

[MR.T.]

My dad bought one a while back. I asked why. He had a reason. I don't remember what it was.
He still hasn't done anything with it, like practice with it, bought any CO2 cartridges for it, are anything else like that.
It's basically a paintball gun that shoots balls of pepper spray. It's just going to piss someone off.

Okay, all responses seem to match. I was just wondering the effectiveness for a lady or anyone who doesn't want the responsibility of lethal force.
Apparently this is a gimmick defense system.
Im.gonna stick with my .45, 9mm or 5.56 pistol. Lol
Older I get, legal risks don't scare me as much

Well all the edges appear to be well rounded and blended so it won't cause too much pain to the user when a pissed off bad guy inserts it where the sun doesn't shine
