Had this woman used a Byrna gun, the perp would have been incapacitated but still alive.

Thank goodness she's not an idiot.

Ha! Exactly. If she plugged the perp twice, center mass, and the guy still had the wherewithal to shoot her multiple times before staggering off to die, imagine the outcome if she only had a Byrna “gun”.

No doubt! IMO it would have been a 100% certainty he would have killed her.
