@@VeraxMusicI have the black one but it’s called knowing our rights and treating it as a real firearm where I’m not going to bring it places that I know I’ll get in trouble and I’m not just flaring it around. If I’m going to be in danger it would be the same as using any other self defense - I get it’s a common issue to worry about how it can get back to us but it sucks that we have to feel like that.

I'm glad it worked out for him, but honestly you would think a fellow truck driver should know that if he's driving slow, it means he's at the end of his shift and can't drive any faster without getting in trouble for it. My father was a truck driver in the 70s and 80s and he would tell us stories of his travels when he got home, most were funny but a few were kinda scary for him. He carried a gun,but luckily never had to use it.

Keep your doors locked.

This illustrates why the LL arms are valuable. There are many instances where you certainly don't want to kill anyone, but the show of force keeps things from getting out of hand. Furthermore, if he had to use the Byrna, he could pull the trigger with a good chance that the person he's firing on is not going to be seriously hurt. Pulling the trigger when you know you will likely kill someone can cause a lot of trepidation that works against you in a tense situation.

What a cool dude

Found out the hard way that if you buy Byrna products on Amazon, their customer support people will not help you. All they will say is "You didnt buy it from us so we cant help you". (the pistol didnt ship with the ammo) Wont buy their stuff again.

I don't know why this is not a option for the police. So many cases of police killing someone that they didn't have to,and gives Americans the impression that they are killer happy.

Wow, great end to a situation..

I like the whole idea of the Byrna! John.

Any driver that’s been doing the job for more than a few weeks should know the spent clock crawl. We’ve all been there and we all see other drivers having to do it often enough to know exactly what’s going on. Dude must have been having a rough day. Either that or he needs to attend an anger management course and maybe look for another profession! Whatever the case, kudos to this driver for having the intelligence and maturity to have a non lethal option at the ready. That situation could have easily been tragic. It’s NEVER ok to forcefully open a driver’s door and doing so can easily get you killed.

Then you use your real gun. Not really necessary to shoot and kill a meth head in your front yard.

I know a guy that keeps both right next to his sofa. Pick the right tool for the job.

I know I'm late seeing this video but I just have this to say because for the 1st time I heard somebody with some common sense say there are times when you may need a firearm a real firearm but The Times when less than lethal is sufficient I totally agree that if you don't have to take a life please don't but if you're left with no other choice do what you gotta do so you go home to your family! Right on Mr. Truck driver!

This whole thing could have been avoided had this guy just went into personal conveyance and state for the reason to find safe parking. READ IT, ITS IN THE RULES!

I was considering buying one for self defense if needed, but it was concerning that the gentleman in the video said he lit his aggressor up and the man was able to just walk away. I was hoping to hear that the attacker would be disabled for a short period of time, to allow the victim time to escape, or conduct a citizen's arrest.
