Real Byrna Stories from Real Byrna Customers

Tracy L Badson
Private citizen
Hey, I'm Tracy Dodson. My burner saved my wife and me from a guy trying to break into our house. I'm showing you the scene where it all went down. It saved our lives, can't believe it.
Christian Webb
Regular American
Hey there, it's Christian from North Carolina, and I'm pumped to tell you how Byrna wasn't just for self-defense, but also for my neighbor. Living in an area with rising crime rates, I wanted a way to protect my family without a gun, and Berna seemed like the perfect solution. With positive reviews and endorsements from police departments, it was the effective, affordable, and comfortable choice for us.
DerJuan Donaldson
Logistics Driver for a preservation company
I've purchased Byrna SD launchers for myself, my wife, and sister due to safety concerns. Had to use it in self-defense during a carjacking incident. The launchers provide comfort in knowing my family can protect themselves without lethal force.
David Curtis
There's been a rise in auto theft and vandalism in our area and the police have informed us it snap from teenagers and the neighborhood consensus is it's not if but when we could be targeted. So I have mounted cameras to monitor outside perimeter of my property and have taken the other step of my nonlethal byrna, equipping it with a laser. So if the time arises, I'm prepared both day and night to protect my property and there will be no advance warning to the bad guys. It will be shoot now and ask questions later without any worry of repercussion.
Mathew Marshall
Staying safe
I bought the Byrna SD and it's the best purchase I ever made. A guy with a knife approached me, but when I showed my Byrna, he got scared and ran away. It's not just for self-defense but also to have fun shooting into the Byrna tent with 8g CO2 cartridges.
Stephen Martino
CEO
I live in northern California where there have been many thefts. My daughters asked for training and guns for protection, but I explained the seriousness of using a firearm. As an ex-military with a concealed weapons permit, I purchased Byrnas for my daughters to emphasize gun safety and responsibility.
Thom Masters
Private citizen
I'm Tom Masters and I feel uncertain about my safety due to potential legal consequences of using a weapon in self-defense. Today, criminals seem to face lenient punishments while police face limitations. To feel secure, I've opted for self-defense spray over weapons, finding it easy to handle and a source of confidence, though I've never used it.
ernesto acebo
Registered nurse, USAF Reserves
Hi, my name's Ernie. I haven't yet had to use my burner. I'm grateful for that. Uh, but I carry it with me every day at work. I am a critical care nurse. The Byrna fills the gap nicely as a self-defense option as a deterrence and a safety and security option without, without violating state law about firearms in hospitals. I can be in compliance and feel safer at the same time.
Brad Burford
My name is Brad Burford, and I encountered a black bear near my garage in Northwestern Pennsylvania. The bear was aggressive after going through the trash, so I had to draw my Berna SDle to protect myself.
Richard Hime
Owner/Operator
I'm Richard, a veteran with vast experience in law enforcement and firearms. I recommend the Byrna as a non-lethal device for its range, rapid reload, accuracy, reliability, and effectiveness with a variety of projectile types. It's a top choice for both law enforcement and civilians looking for personal security solutions.
Glen Thompson
Owner, Innovative Home Inspection Services
As a home inspector working in sketchy areas alone, I needed something for personal protection. I opted for a Byrna as shooting someone in my state could get me in trouble. With Byrna, I feel prepared to defend myself and my clients if needed, thanks to its accuracy and customization.
Lisa
I've always been interested in self-defense and protecting myself as a 5 ft tall individual with hand and vision limitations. As a Jewish person in uncertain times, I sought non-lethal protection. After practicing with a Byrna, I'm thrilled to have hit a bull's eye at 30 ft, feeling more prepared and empowered in case of an attack or intrusion.
Randal Pollard
I'm Randy, a pastor of a small California church. We had a Labor Day picnic event where I showcased the Byrna Launcher. Over 30 people tried shooting it, including children, and were amazed by its accuracy from 40 ft away without much kickback. Even those familiar with handguns found the experience comfortable and less intimidating.
Mike Dangelis
I purchased the Burna SD with booster and added TCR lasers to protect myself on my RV trips. Diagnosed with leukemia, I rely on these products for safety. Grateful for the sense of security they provide as I enjoy my time.
Lynda Hernandez Medellin
Student
I purchased the Byrna because a girl was murdered on my running trail, triggering my fear due to being a victim of sexual assault. Even though I'm a boxer, my natural reaction is freeze, not fight. Feeling safe while driving for Uber is crucial for me as a DACA student.
David M Carnahan
Security Gaurd
As a security guard in downtown LA, where over 327 homicides occurred last year, safety is paramount. I rely on my Byrna SD from Byrna daily to handle confrontations and ensure protection for myself and others. Thanks to Byrna's reliable products, I feel secure and able to perform my job effectively. 🙏
I was riding my scooter when a loose pit bull came at me, so I dropped the scooter, froze for a moment, and drew my Berner while yelling for it to back off. A car honked to scare the dog too, and the pit bull ran away. The Berner helped me feel protected without me having to fire it.
I defended myself from a home attack using Berna, a non-lethal device that stopped the assailant without causing death. By using Berna, I avoided potential criminal charges, a wrongful death lawsuit, and the financial ruin those could have caused. Berna effectively saved my life and my life's work.
