That is true. I cant justify spending that much on it either. Its just not for me. I live out west and have seen cheonics eat direct taser hits, rip the barbs out and still resist or take off running. As u said it all depends on the attackers determination. And their level of intoxication plays a factor as well. Spray is good but have to pay attention to wind direction for sure or that could very quickly backfire. I remember when i was in high school and there was a huge riot. Cops pepper sprayed the crowd and ended up catching a bunch of their own in the mix as well. Was my first lesson on proper use of pepper spray lol. Back on topic tho....

I am curious of the legality of the byrna as it is co2 charged like a pelet gun.

OGC say they take about 4 days after they receive it. They told me it would be ready on the 4th day, but they stress they will call you when it is ready. They called me on the 5th day and said they forgot to do it the day before. I've since used J. Hara, Danger Close Tactical, and bought from FirearmsInternation.biz. They have all been prompt and great to work with. Side note, Firearms international will do free FFL transfers for existing customers.

I second firearmsinternational.biz good braddah and great service. Ammo prices are cherreh too.
