How Byrna works

The Byrna Launcher is not considered a firearm, however, it is not a toy! It is a highly effective less-lethal weapon. While it is legal to carry in all 50 states*, it should only be used for lawful purposes, including self-defense. Like any other weapon, be it a hammer, knife or baseball bat, the Byrna should never be brandished or used in a threatening manner, except as necessary in the defense of oneself or others.

While the Byrna can be carried openly and does not require a conceal carry permit, Byrna recommends that because the Byrna launchers closely resemble actual firearms, they be carried discretely. Byrna offers a number of discrete carry options for your Byrna launcher, ammo and accessories.
