Drunk Road Rage Incident Stopped In Its Tracks Thanks To Byrna

Road rage can happen to anyone, anytime. You are your own first responder.

Adam Alexander was pulling out of his parking spot on his way to his night shift at work when a person swerved past him and then immediately threw the vehicle in reverse to start a confrontation with Adam. Thankfully Adam had been prepared to defend and took his Byrna out of his bag and quickly dialed 911. Quickly Adam assessed that other driver who had exited his vehicle was clearly intoxicated and not armed with a firearm but was aggressively approaching him. Based on the rapidly escalating situation unfolding, Adam brandished his Byrna SD and put the laser on the man’s chest and with that the road raging driver backed down and retreated to his vehicle.

Adam’s dashcam video illustrates the importance of careful situational awareness while being prepared to defend. Law enforcement arrived shortly thereafter and confirmed Adam’s correct use of force, imprinting an important rule to his routine: “I’m never going to not have my Byrna on me.”
