At Byrna, we love hearing real-life stories about how our products help you stay prepared to defend yourself. In this episode of Byrna Breakdown, event manager Moses shares a jaw-dropping encounter—one where he used his Byrna against a chainsaw-wielding intruder in downtown Los Angeles.
A massive 300-pound man scaled the gate of Moses' venue, armed with two chainsaws, attempting to break into a neighboring unit. With no immediate police response in sight, Moses had to take action. Using his Byrna launcher equipped with a green Crimson Trace laser, he warned the intruder before ultimately firing a well-placed shot that sent the man fleeing.
In this breakdown, we analyze Moses’ response—his decision to maintain distance, issue a warning, and use his Byrna effectively in a high-stress situation. His experience highlights why personal protection matters and why sharing these real-life stories is so important.
