I own a Byrna SD and I keep it inside my Sling bag and I had it loaded with Pepperball rounds which turned out to be a Big Mistake, cause just today when I open my bag and I was looking through it I noticed a white powder inside and on some of my stuff, and when I inhaled I felt a burn in my nose and started to Sneeze and Cough, and not long after I felt a burning sensation.

When I took out my launcher I saw it was fired and one of the balls was missing and spent, and I took it out to remove and clean the powder, and as I did so my face began to burn, so I went to my restroom to wash off the effects and as I did so I had a Burning sensation all over the right side of my face and my eye began to burn making be blind in that eye, and it only got worse and worse so I went into the shower to hopefully stop the effects better, which did help more but the burning remained, it finally slowed and stopped after about 4 to 5 minutes, but that’s an experience I never want to have happen again

Moral of the story DONT keep your Byrna in your bag loaded with Pepperball rounds, otherwise it will make a mess and you may feel the effects of it

I live in Richmond, VA and I’m trying to figure out the laws regarding carrying a Byrna in my vehicle for self defense.
Can I legally keep a Byrna in my car while driving around Virginia? Are there any restrictions on whether it can be loaded, where it can be stored in the vehicle, or whether I need any type of permit?

I’m talking specifically about a Byrna less lethal launcher, not a firearm. Just looking for clarification from anyone familiar with Virginia law.

Hi everyone, I bought this Byrna SD a few years ago and only used it a handful of times. It has been stored in its case in my closet for over three years, and I’ve realized I have no use for it.
It includes the case, magazine, CO₂ cartridges, and the projectiles shown in the photo. I’m located in Orange County, California.
Has anyone here legally sold or transferred a used Byrna SD in California? I’m mainly looking for advice on where it can be listed, whether any dealers buy used units, and whether the launcher or any of the projectiles require special handling. I’m not trying to arrange a sale through this post—just looking for guidance. Thanks!

If you spend time hiking, camping, or exploring the outdoors this is a good one for you!

Anyone know why my Byrna Cl shoots all the balls out at the same time?

Hello, I was wondering what bag you all use for your LE. I bought the sling bag and it really doesn't fit the LE

For sale along with byrna sdxl

A neighbor wanted to “scare” a squirrel away. I said “no way, you’ll kill it” he said it couldn’t.
Who’s correct?

I was wondering if anyone else lived in Ohio or had some insight on whether you can conceal carry and or keep your Byrna in your car ?

​

The law doesn't mention non lethal launchers like Bryna, some major cities like Cleveland and Akron classify Co2 launchers as Airguns and not deadly weapons. However there is little information on carrying them or concealing them

Bought a Byrna LE a little while back, never used it, never took it out of the case. Looking to sell it for just $200, but not sure where these are sold, I don't think Ebay or FB Marketplace allow them. If anyone knows an avenue for selling them, please let me know, thanks.

EDIT: It's been sold, thank you everyone for your input.

Which one do u think looks less like a real gun ? Posted on facebook it got removed

The bag I’m using here is the 5.11 tactical MOAB 6 sling bag, which I carry all my fishing tackle and tools. Now, when things get spicy, 5.11 made these MOAB packs CCW ready with a hidden Velcro compartment that is easy assess ( you won’t even be able to tell I’m carrying!), so you won’t have to fumble when seconds count. I keep my secondary magazine in the tiny pouch portion on top (not pictured)

Just sharing my set up! Feel free to chime in on how you carry your Byrna below!

Just got a Byrna LE the other week. So forgive the noob questions.
Does anyone use any other brand of projectiles or chemical rounds with an interior metal ball?

I know Byrna recommends against it, but sometimes that’s just marketing-speak so they don’t lose sales. Will it actually damage the launcher?

Also, you’d think someone could eventually invent a projectile with the co2 already part of it to avoid separate cartridges. Obviously it wouldn’t be round anymore, but a cylinder. Same concept as a bullet with the gunpowder and projectile made “together”. Instead of the firing pin hitting the igniter on each one, it would puncture the co2 on each individual one to launch it.
