Byrna launchers are legal to own in all 50 states with no permit or background check. A few states and cities have specific restrictions on certain ammunition types — check our shipping restrictions page for your area.
Byrna is designed to stop a threat, not cause lasting harm. Projectiles deliver strong, temporary deterrent effects — pain and irritation that end the encounter without ending a life.
That's exactly what it's built for. If it's loaded, it's ready — no buttons, no priming, no sequence to remember. You point and pull the trigger, same as you'd expect.
Byrna launchers give you two ways to stop a threat. Chemical irritant projectiles burst on impact, dispersing a cloud of pepper and/or tear gas powder capable of disabling an attacker for up to 30 minutes. Kinetic projectiles are hard, solid rounds that deliver intense impact — with enough force to break a car's side window from 30 feet away. And you can do it all from up to 60 feet, keeping distance between you and the threat.
