Reply To: Byrna vs Salt/Mace Launchers

[Steve]

I am throwing this launcher idea as some people are interested in another layer of protection along with the self defense arsenal here.
The bad thing to think of is some launchers are total black color and someone CCW or law enforcement may see in the fog of war on the street as a firearms. Which could get oneself shot and be considered the aggressor.

So I am letting this post for people to voice their experience and opinions.
Have considered these for a backup, but there still are options to explore in this area.
Not a legal eagle so not sure if CA & NY with no chemical kits sent, that other states can have, if one did get those pepper or teargas balls. If legal to use in other states would those users get into hot water?

Those brand sellers don’t get into the weeds about that stuff, they just sell them.
It is good for future users to know these things before plopping money down, they are expensive items to use. The Co2 might be cheap but will it last long enough between uses. They say replace the used or partially used cartridge with a new one, the chem balls usually last to five years.
So we can explore these devices if they are a good fit for some, Law Enforcement and the military, civilians maybe if trained.
