Byrna Less-Lethal Personal Defense

1. Self-Protection: Unless you are using your launcher for target practice, training or general recreation, the Bryna should be considered a defensive tool only.

2. Launcher Operation: Read the manual that came with your Byrna, cover to cover. Seriously - you should read it. Bryna has done a great job of explaining how to operate the launcher in the included manual. To get the most out of your investment and to maximize safe operation, please read the manual.

3. Training and Knowledge: Even beefore purchasing and using any defensive tool, individuals should seek proper training and fully understand their chosen device. This ensures proper, responsible, and effective use when needed. The staff at Byrna have a saying - "Train early - train often." That is good advice. Please do not ignore it.

3. Understanding Appropriate Use: It's important to understand appropriate use and defensive concepts. Being able to explain and justify defensive decisions helps demonstrate responsible ownership.

4. Laws: While the Byrna is legal (in some form or fashion) in all 50 states, your city/county/state laws may or may not place certain limitations on the use of the Bryna launcher or on certain ammo. Be sure you are aware of and follow all laws, rules and regulations.

5. Staying Current: Regulations and guidelines can change over time, so staying informed through official sources is essential. Regular consultation with qualified professionals can help ensure continued compliance with current standards.

6. Know your limitations: Do not engage in any situation where you believe you are unable to prevail.

7. Last Resort: Try to de-escalate when you can and before using your Bryna. If you can't get to safety and you are in danger, then use your training and your Bryna to defend.
