Vang Comp's Thunderstick Summit is a 3-day training event featuring some of the top defensive shotgun trainers in the world. Over 100 shooters from across the USA gathered in the Utah desert for intense training in efficient weapon manipulations, ammunition management, judgmental shooting and Less-Lethal training.
Byrna's Law Enforcement Division was honored to have been invited on behalf of firearms expert and instructor Mark Fricke to assist in educating the attendees about why Byrna's Less-Lethal 12 Gauge Ammo was heavily engineered to provide both civilians and law enforcement the opportunity to use their shotguns in a less-lethal scenario that does not require ear protection yet intense stopping power.
As those temperatures begin to drop this fall, the busiest travel season of the year is right around the corner. As you prepare to embark on that holiday vacation, make sure you’re also prepared to defend yourself before you head out. If you’re one of the 208 million Americans that will be road tripping, make sure the launcher is accessible from your seat, not stowed in the trunk or in a bag in the back seat. If a threat presents itself, it will rarely give you time to run to the trunk or rummage around your luggage. While in your car, keep your burner concealed. While Byrna launchers are legal in all 50 states, overtly displaying a launcher may cause undue attention and spoil your vacation early.
Maybe you’re one of the 134 million Americans that are flying commercial to your destination. In that case, your Byrna launcher can come along with you in your checked baggage, along with any type of Byrna projectiles, and they do not need to be declared like firearms do. While the FAA technically allows CO2 cartridges on commercial flights, the TSA has some policies in place that may prohibit them. If you’re carrying an SD, consider mailing a couple of 8g CO2 cartridges to meet you at your final destination. If you’re carrying a Byrna LE, you are likely to be able to grab some 12g CO2 cartridges at any sporting goods, hardware, or big box store after arriving.
Remember, on vacation, we tend to dress very differently than in our normal lives, so think about how you’re going to carry your launcher while on holiday. If you’re going to be spending a week in a bathing suit, make sure to bring along a sling bag or waist pack to carry your launcher in. Remember, the best defense is avoiding the problem altogether, but just in case that isn’t an option, with these tips, I know you’ll be prepared to defend yourself.
Luke Mclaughlin has built a very successful construction company in Huntsville, Alabama that has embedded him with his community as the go-to person for a job that will be completed with quality and reliability.
After adapting the Byrna line of self-defense products to ensure the safety of his crew, he quickly understood that Byrna was also an opportunity to fulfill a need in his community, all the while enriching the people with a new sense of peace of mind.
"It's a no-brainer" Luke tells Byrna during the grand opening. And the line of customers that came into to get a one-on-one breakdown on the Byrna platform and to pull the trigger in the shooting lanes left saying the same thing.

To set up this drill, we just need a chair and one target placed 10-15 feet away. You will also need whatever means you carry your Byrna in while out in public, be that a holster or sling bag.
We’re going to start this drill seated with the chair facing the target. As we begin, we will draw our Byrna while remaining seated and fire 3 rounds at the target, then stand, get into a good firing stance, and fire an additional 2 rounds. Sounds easy, right? For the next iteration, we are going to turn the chair 90 degrees to the right and complete the drill again. So on, so forth until we have made it all the way around.
So here is a pro tip: As you turn to address your target, try to move as much of your upper body as you can to closely resemble a normal shooting position from the waist up. Also, after you are comfortable shooting this drill, you can crank up the realism by putting a table in front of you to move around.
So get out there and train early and train often so that if the time comes, you’ll be prepared to defend.
Lynda from Watkinsville, GA recently told us her story of why Byrna has become an irrefutable necessity in her life. After learning about a woman being murder on the same trail she was just on with her son, Lynda found Byrna to be the self-defense solution as the potential for stumbling upon an unwanted encounter stays at the top of her mind. Lynda is a survivor of sexual assault and a mother and we are proud to provide the means to protect herself and her family.

The national news media has been turning to Byrna leaders for their expertise and point of view in response to the latest headlines. Everyone at Byrna is honored to be a part of the national conversation and strive to become a household name in every home.
Brett from the Byrna Owners Group on Facebook recently posted a story about how the one time he forgot to pack his Byrna on his walk with his dog was the one time he was attacked by an unleashed dog. He left the situation bloodied, as was his dog, and learned a serious lesson: never leave home without your Byrna.
Unfortunately, natural disasters are a way of life for many Americans. I am here in Iowa, near the epicenter of some of the worst floods that this region has seen in decades, and as we are right in the middle of hurricane season on the East Coast and in the gulf, and with wildfires heating up out on the West Coast this is a good time to make sure that you are prepared in the case of a disaster in your region.
When we think of emergency preparedness, most of us think about our food and water supply and if we have a generator in case power goes out. Unfortunately, one of the most overlooked aspects of emergency preparedness is your safety and security.
During a natural disaster tensions run high and people start resorting to things that they would never do under normal circumstances and of course we’ve all seen the looting that takes place during some of these events.
And to make matters worse, in a state of emergency first responders are stretched to the absolute limit dealing with that disaster and it’s likely that if you have to call police for help, it could take an extended period of time for them to get to you; which is why you have to be your own first responder!
Thanks to Byrna’s versatility in how it can be deployed, it’s ruggedness through all kinds of weather, including flooding, and the fact that it can be legally carried in all 50 states makes it the ideal choice for your first line of defense during a disaster.
I’ve included some links below with some great information on preparing for natural disasters in your area. So as you gather supplies and make those emergency plans, make sure you include a Byrna, or two, so that if the time comes you are prepared to defend.

On this episode of “If They Only Had a Byrna”… A Massachusetts man has been arrested and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon after shooting his attacker with a firearm at a pro-Israeli demonstration.
In September, while Scott Hayes was attending a pro-Israeli demonstration in Newton, Massachusetts, a protestor charged Hayes from across the street and began brutally attacking him. During the lengthy attack, where multiple people attempted to step in to help, Hayes shot the protestor once in the abdomen with a pistol he was licensed to carry.
Once police arrived, Hayes, the victim in the attack, was arrested for assault with a dangerous weapon as well as violation of a constitutional right causing injury. The attacker, however, survived the gunshot and was not charged with a crime.
If they only had a Byrna… Hayes would have been able to engage the attacker sooner, possibly before he had been able to close the distance, thwarting the assault altogether. And even if the attacker had made it to Hayes before he responded, the Byrna launcher can be used effectively at point-blank range without the fear of killing someone or causing serious bodily injury.
While the legality of using deadly force in this case will be argued in court, the use of a Byrna launcher could have saved Hayes from what will surely prove to be a lengthy and expensive legal battle, and possible prison time.
Be smart, be safe, and be prepared to defend.
Governer Mike Huckabee invited Byrna CEO Bryan Ganz to his nationwide show on TBN to elevate the less-lethal conversation that he strongly believes in.

Today’s Prepared To Defend drill of the day is… Byrna’s Box Drill. This drill is a modification of the classic box drill and trains us how to buy time to more efficiently engage two targets. This drill also assumes that we are going to remain static and not move off the x as we’ve done in previous drills.
To set up this drill set the targets at a distance away from you that you are comfortable with, and then set apart from each other. The spread distance is up to you but I would keep them within about 30 degrees from your shooting position.
Today we’re going to start this drill at either the low ready or what we call position three, with the weapon tucked into our chest but pointed down range. But you could also start this drill from the holster if you so choose. As we begin the drill we are going to engage one target with one round, then transition to the other target and fire two rounds, then transition back to the first target and fire one additional rounds for a total of 4 rounds.
By using this 1-2-1 cadence, we are slowing down the first attacker with the first round, allowing us to more quickly get to the second attacker and then coming back to assure the first attacker has been stopped.
So here are some pro tips: When you are transitioning from one target to the next, lead with your eyes. Look at your target first, then start moving your body to have a much easier time lining up your shot.
And secondly, don’t just move your arms or shoulders. Focus on turning your hips so they are squared up on the target your engaging, this eliminates a lot of the unnecessary movement in your upper body allowing you to get on target faster.
So get out there and train early and train often so that if the time comes you’ll be Prepared to Defend.
Nationwide news outlets New York Post, Fox News, MSN and AOL recently featured an interview with Byrna's Chief Marketing and Revenue Officer Luan Pham to find out why Jewish communities have turned to Byrna for self-defense amid rising antisemitism.
Veteran and proud Byrna owner, Hector, recently wrote to us to send thanks for creating a formidable less-lethal option for home protection. We thank him for his service and for taking the time for providing the feedback that pushes all of us at Byrna to continue in our mission of providing the best less-lethal self-defense tool in the market.
On this episode of, If They Only Had A Byrna… A man in fires a spray of bullets from an AR 15 at suspected car burglars, injuring one.
This last month in Antioch, Tennessee, a man witnessed two subjects attempting to break into his vehicle as it was parked in the apartment complex lot. He subsequently retrieves his AR 15 and fires multiple rounds at the suspects, hitting one of them in the leg but also hitting 4 vehicles in the parking lot with multiple rounds.
Police subsequently responded and seized the shooters rifle. While the suspect who was shot was only wounded the shooter will likely face multiple criminal charges.
If they only had a Byrna… the car owner could have used the mission 4, a launcher modeled after the AR 15 pattern to deliver as many as 60 rounds on one co2 cartridge of Byrna max or pepper at the would be car burglars. Even if some of his rounds missed, the resulting cloud of chemical powder would have saturated the area and rendered the criminals incapacitated. Stray rounds from a mission 4 also would not have damaged other residents vehicles or possibly killed someone, making it a much safer and effective use of force.
It's important to remember that any forced used against another person, even in self-defense and especially in the defense of only property must be reasonable, which will be difficult to prove in this case. Remember, be smart, be safe, and be Prepared to Defend.
Zack's Sports Gun Shop outside of Albany, NY has been owned and operated by Kevin Zacharewicz for the past 31 years. His loyal firearm-loving customer base was introduced to Byrna Less-Lethal a few years ago and Kevin quickly learned the potential Byrna had to not only provide his customers with a formidable less-lethal option but that the demand was constantly emptying his inventory. He knew the decision to create a "store within a store" was a no-brainer and devoted a large footprint of his retail facility to Byrna to hold more product and create a shooting lane to solidify the Byrna experience.
That decision has brought the Byrna sales at Zack's Sports to the rank of the top three selling brands, among the industry giants of Glock and Keltec, with his predictions of Byrna becoming the store's top seller.

You’ve just had to deploy your Byrna launcher to defend yourself against an attacker… now what?
The first thing to remember after a deployment is to get to safety. Even if the assailant has fled the location, you should get somewhere that you know is secure.
Call the police as soon as you can. If other people were present, its likely they may be calling the police as well, but who knows what they will tell them, so make sure they get the facts directly from YOU.
When you do call, tell the dispatcher these things:
-Who you are and where you are
-What you are wearing so police can quickly identify you on arrival
-That you used a Byrna less-lethal launcher to defend yourself
-And give them a description of the suspect and where they are or which way they fled
-Try not to say too much more to the dispatcher, but if you are in an area that may not be completely secure, stay on the line with them until police arrive.
This is important: Make sure you do NOT have the launcher in your hands when police arrive. Stow it before their arrival, or if you have to keep it out to make sure you or others stay safe, place it on the ground AS SOON as you see officers arriving on the scene.
With these tips you should be confident that even if you do have to use your launcher against a threat you will still be prepared to defend.
Today’s Prepared To Defend Drill Of The Day is… OFF THE X. During a critical incident many people tend to lock up, only able to focus on a single task at a time. This drill teaches us to move laterally, and preferably toward a position of cover while simultaneously engaging our target.
The distance that we start this drill from our target isn’t all that important. Pick a distance that you are comfortable with at first and then you can always back up to increase the difficulty. Here we also have this board to represent a piece of cover that we are going to move to about 10 feet away.
As we begin, we are going to start moving laterally toward our cover while simultaneously drawing our Byrna and firing three rounds. As we reach the cover we reassess our target at this point.
So here is a Pro Tip. Point your toes the in the direction you want to travel and allow your torso to stay squared up with the target. This way your shooting platform from the waist up doesn’t change and you’re far less likely to trip.
Targets moving laterally are harder to track by a would-be assailant, and putting a hard object between you and your attacker is always an advantage no matter what they are armed with.
So get out there and train early and train often so that if the time comes you’ll be Prepared To Defend.
"Dear Byrna,
So, on my way home from work today I decided to stop at Papa Murphy’s to pick up a pizza for dinner. This particular Papa Murphy’s is located inside the Smith’s grocery store at Central Ave. and Tramway in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ok, those from Albuquerque know that this location is not in the best part of town.
I go in, pay for my family size supreme pizza, and leave. As I am exiting the store, I am immediately approached by a homeless dude who had a striking resemblance to Charles Manson. He grabs my arm and says, “Give me that f*^king pizza!” I turned and immediately replied, “Go f*^k yourself!” When I turn to walk away, the homeless dude shoved me and grabbed my pizza. Well, nobody jacks with my Family Size Supreme. I immediately reached into my jacket pocket and replied, “Here, have some pepper with your pizza!” I whipped out my Bad Guy Repellant (BGR) pepper spray and gave my newfound friend a good three-second blast right in the eyes. He immediately threw the pizza in the air, which went in about fifty different directions, grabbed his face, and started screaming.
I turned to discover that a security guard standing by the door had witnessed the entire event. He was laughing his butt off, “Pepper for your pizza, that’s the funniest thing I have ever heard.” The security guard was laughing so hard, that he was down on one knee with tears in his eyes. I thought for a second, he might have gotten some of the BGR.
I went back into the store, told my story to the cashier at Papa Murphy’s. They replaced my Family Size Supreme free of charge. As I made my way out of the store for the second time, the security guard was still laughing. I asked, “Where’s that guy?” The security guard pointed across the parking lot and said that he was at the gas station washing his eyes. I asked him if I should wait around for the police. The security guard replies, “Are you kidding, they will not come out for something like this.” I stated, “good enough,” and I left. Shopping in this cesspool called Albuquerque is always a challenge, however, thanks to Byrna’s BGR, I was able to fend off a pizza thief and gave the security guard a good laugh.
Thank you Byrna!
Larry J."
Today’s Prepared To Defend Drill Of The Day is… Back OFF. This drill represents an encounter that has started off very close and teaches you to create distance while engaging the threat. This distance is not only important to get us away from an attacker but if you are using a Byrna Max or Byrna Pepper round it also assures that you will be outside of the affected cloud of chemical agent.
Since the vast majority of real-world encounters will start between 3 and 5 feet, we are going to start this drill just out of arms reach from the target. As you begin the drill, start by backing straight up to create as much distance as you can from the target while simultaneously drawing your Bryna from your normal carry position. After we draw and present the Byrna we are going to fire three rounds from our 5 round magazine and then re-assess our target.
The key to this drill is to keep moving through the entire iteration until you have created at least a 20’ gap from the target. Once you are able to move continuously through the drill and make solid hits, you can begin picking up the pace. You can also increase the difficulty by putting yourself on a shot timer seeing how fast you can both create that distance AND make accurate hits.
Arkansas State Troopers attempted to pull over a motorcyclist with no license plate who refused to stop and led them on a lengthy high speed chase. After turning into a residential area, the rider jumps off the bike and attempts to run on foot. One officer attempts to use an electro conductive weapon on the suspect as he runs striking him with the probes in the back. One of the probes hits a gallon of gasoline that he was carrying in a backpack immediately engulfing the rider in flames.
If they’d only had a Byrna… the officer would not only have been able to engage the suspect from a greater distance but there would have been no risk of the suspect spontaneously combusting from the use of an ECW. This is not the first time that a suspect covered in a combustible substance has ignited after being struck with the probes of an ECW and is just another aspect that officers have to take into account before they use that type of force.
Byrna launchers and .68 caliber projectiles have proven to be one of the safest and most effective uses of force for the widest array of situations, so when you are choosing how to defend YOURSELF, be smart, be safe, and be prepared to defend.
Crissy has devoted her life to a career in executive protection, responsible for the personal safety of high-value individuals. Currently she is on a multi-team security detail that span dozens of states, as well as various countries in Europe, Crissy took some time to chat with Byrna's Dir. of Law Enforcement Josh Schirard to elaborate on why her unique self-defense experience has made a major fan of Byrna the minute she learned about the less-lethal self-defense platform.
Just last month a Chicago woman was the victim of a home invasion that occurred in broad daylight when several men broke into her home while she was inside. After seeing the intruders, she yelled that she had called police at which point they promptly exited the house. The victim and her neighbor then chased the intruders down the street while calling 911.
911 dispatchers stated that police would be on their way, however it took them over four hours to reach the scene due to an overwhelming backlog of emergency calls.
If they’d only had a Byrna… This resident would have had an effective means of dealing with these intruders. Armed with a TCR or Mission 4 that could easily be kept ready in the home, she would have had an increased capacity and capability to engage multiple intruders with an overwhelming but less lethal amount of force.
This again illustrates the theory that most “criminals” that receive any resistance from their intended targets will abort their attacks. With Byrna you can make sure that you are a hard target and that YOU are prepared to defend.
Firearms YouTuber Kentucky Ballistics proclaims to his 4.45 million subscribers that the Byrna Mission 4 is "arguably the most powerful less-lethal rifle in existence."

We’ve all seen the videos… you’re stuck in traffic and somehow a misunderstanding has erupted into a full blown road rage event, another driver is banging on your window trying to get into your car, and you are stuck… now what?
The important thing here is to not get out of your car if you don’t have to, and if there is ANY route to drive away, TAKE IT, even if you have to break a traffic rule to do it. Get to safety.
But if you can’t and the assailant has a weapon that’s likely to break your window or your window is already down use your Byrna launcher from inside your car. This is one of the big reasons that my first two rounds are kinetic rounds. Its likely that if I have to deploy my Byrna in this situation with Max or Pepper rounds I am going to be within that 5 foot cloud of chemical agent. With 2 kinetic rounds, those may be enough to stop the threat but should at least be enough to back them up giving me some distance before deployment chemical rounds.
During this entire encounter though, you should continually look for a way out and take it at the first opportunity. These events can be very intense and happen with seconds, but with these tips you should be prepared to defend.
Five people robbed a man in the middle of the street last week in Beverly Hills, CA. A restaurant owner who witnessed the attack said “This has become the new normal and it’s a pity that this beautiful great state of California, especially Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, has been ruined and the politicians seem to be thinking it’s a new normal.”
Byrna less-lethal self-defense enables the ability to incapacitate an attacker up to 60 feet away. The pull-pierce technology provides formidable stopping power that is always at the ready. No background checks, no permits required. Legal in 50 states.
COMPACT AND CONCEALABLE
The biggest challenge in creating the Byrna was to pack enough stopping power into such a small piece of real estate. If the launcher could not easily fit in a glove box, purse, or jacket pocket, it might not be available when it was needed most.
THE BYRNA NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO STOP AN ASSAILANT
The Byrna needed to have ample stopping power. Our goal was to give ordinary citizens the ability to disarm, disable and deter a would-be assailant without causing permanent injury or death, in order to give them and their family time to get out of harm’s way.
ALWAYS AT THE READY – THE BYRNA NEEDS TO BE READY TO DEPLOY AT A MOMENT’S NOTICE
With most .68-caliber launchers, the CO2 cylinder is punctured when it is loaded into the launcher. Over the next 24-hours, the CO2 will leak out, rendering the weapon inoperable. In response, Byrna developed its patented first-shot, pull-pierce technology. This allows the CO2 cylinder to remain in the launcher, unpunctured, until needed. Then, when the trigger is pulled, the CO2 is punctured and the projectile is fired simultaneously, meaning that the Byrna is always at the ready whether it has been sitting for a week, a month, a year, or several years.
DISTANCE EQUALS SAFETY
With batons and stun guns, you are in hand-to-hand combat before they are effective. Even with pepper spray or a Stun Gun, you are range-limited to 10 to 15 feet. By then, the situation has escalated out of control. The Byrna SD and EP have a 60’ effective range and the Byrna LE has an 80’ effective range.
MULTIPLE SHOTS
Byrna’s handheld pistols carry up to 7 rounds in a magazine and can fire multiple magazines from a single CO2 cylinder. Stun Guns, by comparison, are limited to just one or two shots. The ability to fire multiple shots without reloading, allows the user to put multiple rounds on target and/or confront multiple threats simultaneously.
BUILD A QUALITY PRODUCT
The Byrna is NOT a toy. It is a very sophisticated piece of technology. Whereas a traditional handgun has approximately 35 parts, the Byrna has more than 110 parts – and unlike a handgun, it must hold air at 800 psi. The Byrna is constructed to exacting specifications from the same glass infused polymers, military grade aluminum and stainless steel as the most well-known and well-respected firearm brands.
Glenn Beck uses his backyard as his training ground for his arsenal of Byrna less-lethal self-defense product. Elevating his tactical preparedness and having a great time while doing so, Glenn acknowledged how crucial it is to have Byrna in his life.

Because of that we advocate training in a neutral fighting stance. This stance mimics a natural comfortable standing position. As you can see larks hips and feet are squared off to the target, and shoulder width apart. The most important aspect of this stance is the slight bend at the waist that shifts her weight from her heels to the balls of her feet. This allows her to react and move quickly if the need arises.
As we move up her back we see her shoulders rolled into the center of her body and her head in a neutral position, straight up and down, bringing the sights of the launcher up to her eyes and not her eyes and head down to the sights; this is very important.
Finally her shoulders are mostly square to the target and both her arms are extended, equally distributing pressure between the two of them.
Spending time to make sure your have a solid stance while training will make sure that you are providing a stable platform to shoot from, so that if the time comes, you are prepared to defend
Sean Hannity takes to his backyard to train with his Byrna, building on his years of firearms expertise and continuing his tactical readiness all in the safe and legal confines of his own property. Byrna provides a less-lethal self-defense tool to not only incapacitate a threat but also a means to train without leaving your driveway.
If you ever have to use a Byrna launcher to defend yourself or others, like on this city street here, there is a good chance it may be in the presence of other, non-involved people. These people may be on the other side or down the street and have no idea what happened up to this point, but you drawing a launcher definitely has their attention now!
This is why it’s so important for you to make sure everyone hears you telling that attacker to stop, get back, leave you alone, and that if time permits, that you are about to deploy a less-lethal device. [video shows a scenario of deployment and vocalizing less-lethal].
If this altercation is taking place in public, it’s also likely that your actions may be caught on camera, and vocalizing your intentions only helps strengthen your case when the event is played back.
So be ready to get loud and vocalize those commands so that if the time comes YOU are prepared to defend.

So you MAY have been going slightly over the speed limit… And now the officer is at your window AND you’re carrying a Byrna launcher in the car. Are you required to or should you say anything about it to the officer?
In this case it’s always important to listen to the exact question the officer asks.
What if he asks... “Do you have any firearms in the vehicle?”
Because none of the Byrna launchers are considered firearms, you could legally tell him "No sir, there are no firearms in the vehicle".
But what if the officer asks…“Do you have any weapons in the car?”
While the legality of having to answer these questions will vary by region, in the vast majority of cases it’s unlikely to negatively impact the situation if you tell the officer something like this... “Yes sir, I have a less-lethal Byrna launcher in my center console.”
The key here is NOT TO REACH FOR IT. Keep your hands in view on the steering wheel during the entire encounter. It is important to understand that more officers are ambushed and killed during traffic stops than any other type of activity. The more comfortable you make them the more likely you are to have a positive encounter.
So while carrying a Byrna in your car probably won't alter the outcome of a traffic stop it WILL assure that if the time comes, you are prepared to defend!

Earlier this month the mayor of San Jose California was conducting a street-side interview with a local news station when a man approached the mayor and and news crew and became highly confrontational. He was quickly intercepted by the mayor’s personal security, a San Jose police officer wearing plain clothes. The suspect then attacked the officer and a fight lasting several minutes ensued between the two until backup could arrive to assist. The plainclothes officer sustained several injuries as a result of the fight and would spend the night in the hospital for treatment.
If they had only had a Byrna… the plainclothes officer would have had an elevated but appropriate level of force to deter and subdue the assailant possibly allowing him to take the suspect into custody without a fight. In this case, the mayor’s security was only armed with a pistol, but because the suspect did not yet pose a deadly threat, using the firearm would have been classified as excessive force.
In this instance, the officer could have drawn the launcher the second it was apparent the subject was becoming verbally aggressive and even used it indirectly to deter him from proceeding and to get him to leave the area. The officer then could have escalated, if needed, to direct impact to incapacitate the suspect and get the mayor to a safe location.
Having a Byrna allows you to address possible threats much earlier so they don’t have time to escalate, allowing you to escape the location and escape possible injury, so be smart, be safe, and be prepared to defend.

In February of this year, a Texas family visiting California was filling up their rental car at this 76 gas station before returning it when they were robbed by several men. A closer look into this particular gas station’s history revealed that this was just one of a large string of robberies occurring here and also revealed that this fact is widely known by residents. It is believed that the suspects are targeting outbound tourists as they are in a hurry to get to the airport.
While police are aware of the incidents and have increased patrols, the criminals just wait for police to leave the area before resuming the attacks.
If they only had a Byrna… these tourists would have had an effective means to defend themselves that is legal in all 50 states, including California. Decades of historical evidence tell us that in the case of crimes of opportunity such as this one, assailants are looking for an easy target and in a vast number of instances, when they are presented with any form of resistance they abort their attack.
It is also important to remember that the average response time for police across the country to emergency calls is over 5 minutes; which means in most cases YOU must be your own first responder. So having an effective means to provide that protection at a moment’s notice that can be carried anyway is essential to the safety of you and your family.

Earlier this month, Patricia Bullrich, the Argentine Minister of National Security, along with the national director of the Airport Security Police and the Secretary of Security, hosted a comprehensive demonstration of Byrna launchers at the Higher Institute of Airport Security in Buenos Aires.
Minister Bullrich highlighted the decision to equip airport security officers with 1,000 Byrna launchers, citing the device's proven effectiveness in South America, where it has been successfully deployed hundreds of times. She also referenced recent officer-involved shootings in the region, suggesting that outcomes might have been significantly improved if Byrna launchers had been used.
The demonstration included a series of reality-based scenarios that demonstrated the versatility and effectiveness of the Byrna launchers in maintaining public safety without lethal force.
In her closing remarks, Minister Bullrich articulated a vision for a transformed and tranquil Argentina: “We aim to enact profound change and restore order, ensuring the safety of all Argentines. We are committed to making informed decisions that protect those who serve us. Together, we strive for a modern, secure, and peaceful Argentina.”
This event underscores Byrna's commitment to fostering safer communities worldwide by equipping individuals with the means to defend themselves responsibly.

As the warmer weather quickly approaches so does that summer travel season. And we are here in THE most popular beach in the US to bring you the top 5 Byrna tips for your summer vacation.
1:
If you are one of the 208 million Americans that will be road tripping this summer make sure the launcher is accessible from your seat, not stowed in the trunk or in a bag way in the back seat. If a threat presents itself, it will rarely give you time to run to the trunk or rummage around your luggage.
2:
While in your car, keep your Byrna concealed in a center console, door panel, or glove box. While Byrna launchers are legal in all 50 states overtly displaying the launcher may very well cause some undue attention and spoil that vacation early.
3:
Maybe you’re one of the 134 million Americans that are flying commercial to your destination this summer. In that case, your Byrna launcher can come along with you in your checked baggage along with any type of Byrna projectiles and they do not need to be declared like firearms.
4:
While the FAA technically allows CO2 cartridges on commercial flights, the TSA does have some policies in place that may prohibit them. So, if you are carrying an SD, think about dropping a couple of 8gr CO2 cartridges in the mail to meet you at your final destination. Or if you are carrying a Byrna LE, you’ll likely be able to grab some 12gr CO2 cartridges at any sporting goods, hardware, or big box store after arriving.
5:
Remember, on vacation, we tend to dress very differently than in our normal lives. So think about how you are going to carry your launcher while on holiday. If you are going to be spending a week in a bathing suit, make sure bring along a sling bag or waist pack to carry your launcher in.
And here is a bonus tip… Be aware of your surroundings. Many of us tend to get a little complacent on vacation so be proactive about spotting potential issues early. Remember, the best defense is avoiding the problem altogether, but just in case that isn’t an option with these tips and a Byrna as a travel companion you will certainly be prepared to defend.

On this episode of, if they only had a Byrna. A man in Fullerton California is killed by a bean bag shotgun after an encounter with police.
Earlier this month, police responded to several reports of a man possibly high on narcotics, acting erratically outside of a Fullerton McDonalds. Upon their arrival, the man became increasingly agitated and began swinging his belt at the officers. After attempting to negotiate with the subject for 10 minutes one officer unsuccessfully deployed an electro-conductive weapon, further agitating the individual. A second officer eventually fired four less-lethal direct impact or bean bag rounds for a 12ga shotgun, subduing the suspect. However, upon reaching the subject, they observed that one of the bean bag rounds had penetrated his chest causing massive bleeding, and despite treatment, the suspect would be pronounced dead a short time later.
If they only had a Byrna, then officers would have had the option to first deploy max or pepper rounds indirectly, using just the cloud of chemical agents to subdue the suspect. And if they needed to escalate to direct impact, all of the Byrna rounds have been extensively tested by third-party labs to assure that the chance of penetration or causing serious bodily injury, even at point-blank ranges is almost non-existent.
While officers deployed the less-lethal rounds as they were trained this isn’t the first time that this type of ammo has caused serious bodily injury. And it is very likely that a lengthy investigation could result in both criminal and civil penalties for the officers, the city, and the manufacturer.
On this episode of, “If They Only Had a Byrna””… a verbal altercation at a gas station escalates until one man is shot in the leg.
A witness began videoing this altercation after two men were seen engaged in a heated verbal exchange. This argument quickly escalated and one of the men became visibly aggressive, started advancing toward the other subject, and then began kicking his truck. The second subject then drew a firearm and fired one shot, striking the aggressive male.
If they only had a Byrna… the subject that fired the gun could have instead used a Byrna SD or LE loaded with max or pepper rounds to quickly deter the aggressive subject from any further advance and to keep him from causing further damage to his vehicle.
Considering the suspect was unarmed the legality of the shooting will surely come into question, and this subject will likely be facing criminal charges for using an unnecessary amount of force.
Remember, the level of force used in self-defense must be reasonable to level of the threat, so be smart, be safe, and be prepared to defend.
