Should you buy a byrna?

In this video i give my opinion on some of the debated topics surrounding byrna SD and other less lethal launchers. This is not a paid review as i am not currently affiliated with @Byrnanation and this launcher was paid for by me from the byrna amazon store. If you are going to be purchasing a byrna please consider using the amazon affiliate link below. It will help out the channel a bunch. Thank you for watching!

I absolutely agree with everything you said. As a combat vet I would say that anything you can do to de escalate a situation without taking a life is not only good for you legally but just good all around.

Just took a kinetic from a SD at 30feet. Any closer and it would have been bad. Folks have to remember that they are meant to inflict pain to force compliance or deter, not kill

[NickyKDChaleunphone]

Byrna is great for those who live in Blue states who have strict gun laws and strict gun self defense laws

This is a option for someone not comfortable handling a firearm.

I live in California, and we cannot carry a firearm without a permit. And getting one is almost impossible. This is a great alternative to carry in my car or a large event just in case. Like he said, if you use a firearm on someone get ready for lawsuits. I know a few people that shot at intruders and they ended up paying a lot of money to the victims. It's ridiculous, but that is how things are now. I'd rather subdue the person so I can get away.

I bought my LE about 3 weeks ago and love it’s ability to get me out of harms way…

Your video is to the point and covers all of the concerns that I had before making my purchase. I wish I’d seen your video first. Thanks for the great video covering the facts and variables… I’m now a new subscriber to your channel. Also no need to let your wife shot you unless you simply want to experience the pain. 😮

I own a 9mm pistol, but I never carry it, even though I live in New Hampshire and can legally open or concealed carry. The thought of dealing with the aftermath of a self defense shooting, chills me more than the concern I have for my personal safety. Enter Byrna. Problem solved.

Good video. Many people say it's worthless but it has great stopping power without killing power.

[danofiremano]

There's a young woman that I work with getting harassed by an ex-bf who is a bit psychotic, so I advised her to look into Byrna as an alternative to a firearm.

[bengeist]

I agree with what you are saying. Logic and common sense always speaks to me!

[EducatedBlackMan]

I am a CCW permit holder but would like the option of non-lethal force against an unarmed attacker. I am 67 and can't fight a younger stronger assailant but wouldn't want to go thru the legal system if I used a firearm. I will put this on my Christmas list.

[MakingCentsInTrucking]

Good points on why you should own. I believe everyone should be able to protect themselves from a threat and not be so dependent on law enforcement. I highly recommend that ladies consider this as an option for self-defense. It levels the threat when you are out numbered or overpowered without the guilt of taking someone's life!

If this video gets 25 likes I will let my wife shoot me with a kinetic projectile for a video. Thanks for watching!

[tommyhernandez]

Great video brother. I live in northern California. It is really difficult to purchase a firearm for home defense. Its even more difficult to obtain a ccw permit. I bought two byrna sd's. One for me, & one for my wife. We are both very pleased with them. I'm looking in to getting some of byrna's bag guy repellent. I hear it works really well.

[cjpatz]

Because it’s non-lethal, it’s mostly meant to buy you time, by either deterring threats, or allowing you time to retreat. It’s not meant to end the threat.

[AirgunAlley]

Nicely said! Everything. Great video, thanks

I agree with your video but I do want to expand on the fact that there are use cases where it's very useful to have non-lethal options around. In most states, it is illegal to store a firearm without locking it up in a gun safe with the magazine outside of the gun. If someone breaks into your house in the middle of the night, you're trying to wake up, all the while going to your gun safe, unlock it, load the magazine and then go. This doesn't take that much time but every second counts. With a non-lethal guns, you can have it loaded and on your nightstand no problem. With the Byrna specifically, the CO2 won't be punctured until you need it, so you know you'll have fresh CO2. The other point is that ammunition for non-lethal can be a bit more creative. Loading the magazine up with alternating pepper balls, riot rounds, or kinetic rounds mean that you can fill up an area with pepper powder and being able to inflict some damage to someone. This is super useful and will deter the usual robbers. Of course, if someone is targeting you specifically with a gun, there's not much you can do even if you own a real gun anyhow.

Byrna LE saved the dog and I during our walk when we were attacked by 3 medium sized dogs off their leash.
I used the MAX OC/CS balls, took effect in 2 seconds and they hauled butt.
I use the recommended load, one solid kinetic round on top, then OC/CS balls, in the newer 7 ball magazine.

[lesslethalfordummies]

Logic and common sense in one video? Well said and overlooked by many.

[woader]

I believe you should continue posting videos. Great presentation. Subscribed.

Edit: some content with firearms would be great as well.
