Nonlethal self-defense company aims to give homeowners a new option

The company is called Byrna, a national group that's been around for about three years.

Any comments from Freepers about this less-than-lethal weapon? I don't trust myself with a gun because, frankly, I realize that I'm kind of clumsy. This seems like it might be a good alternative. Other advantages: no license, can be carried in all states. I'm interested in what experienced gun owners might have to say. The company's website is byrna.com

I like pocket sand...

The perps will remember you, that is all I will say.

Why do Republicans need all those guns for?

To protect their families from the Democrats.

It still looks like a gun. Cheaper to get a can of bear spray.

Got dog?

This may sound like the stupidest thing you’ve heard all day, but I say it, I think it. And it’s actually intelligent.

Here goes.

“The problem with non-lethal weapons is that they don’t kill assailants.”

You can quote me on that.

[Celerity]

Now as an uber driver, I do carry sprays la spray. But that’s because you can’t shoot someone because they won’t get out of your car peacefully.

That’s murder.

But if your life or someone’s life around you is in danger then the spray is no longer your only option.

My home defense is a Catahoula and an 870 12 Guage. My truck gun varies; either a g27 or g29, or a .357.
I have a .380 but I never carry it.

[Celerity]

I, celerity, trust you with a gun.

What you said demonstrates your humility. I too was in your spot. I got the gun and it took me about 6 months before I would actually carry it.

Your attitude of respect and cautious doubt make you a prime wielder of legal force.

I support you. You can do this.

[waterhill]

LOL!

[I want the USA back]

It looks like a gun. The cops will still shoot you and your dog if you answer the door with this.

If the unlawful intruder has a gun and sees you with what looks like a gun he will use his gun on you, and you don’t have a gun.

Other than that, it’s just fine.

No matter what one uses, one can trust a corrupt, inept, and totally loathsome Soros-funded bottom dwelling DA to still arrest the innocent one. And it will continue until said DA fears to show his/her/its face in public lest they risk....

[JesusIsLord]

Does the saying, “Don’t bring a sling-shot to a gun fight” apply here?

[SoConPubbie]

Not interested.

The Perp’s right-to-life is over when he/she/it threatens my life.

>I don’t trust myself with a gun

Get training, go to a range with lots of rentals, try them all on for size. Buy a few, get more training.

You could probably substitute their ammo with beans.

A cop buddy used something similar during some recent riots. He said they were very effective at encouraging rioters to find something else to do that night.

+1.

A well placed .22 round can ruin a perps life.
