Interesting post. I think I’d have to check my local laws on its usage, to be on the safe side. If I ever had to use it, any others who see me use it, they may think its’a real gun. At, $359, I noticed one of them had 6 rounds, and a laser. Not sure if certain jurisdictions allow laser pointers as legal; I regret in my area, lasers on a real gun are not legal.
Guess there are lot’s of pros and cons:
Pros’:
- For those who cannot legally carry firearms
- For inside those places or areas where a firearm is not legally allowed (that is if a Byrna is allowed)
- Less lethal, less legal problem compared to if one used real bullets
Con’s:
- It seems a bit large, not as concealable
- Might it be less effective since many now wearing Pandemic masks
- Might it be less effective in winter, due to perp having more layers
- If the perp gets to me afterwards, his chemicals can get onto me, putting me out of commission
I suffer from nasal/throat allergies, so this would kill me; I’d rather be gun shot.
It reminds me of taser guns. I’ll definitely be watching the various responses, for different helpful viewpoints this community often has.
