"I never saw myself as a gun owner but with the recent uptick of political discourse in the world I believe that self protection is no longer an option but a necessity. As soon as I discovered Byrna's non-lethal alternative, I jumped on the opportunity. My philosophy is: Better to have, and not to need, than to need and not to have."
— Michael Cohen
