During a recent campus event, conservative media personality Glenn Beck shared one of the most terrifying days of his life — when his daughter found herself alarmingly close to violence. According to Beck’s recollection, she was reportedly only ten feet away from a scene involving Charlie Kirk.
Beck described the chaos and confusion that followed. His daughter had sent text messages, but amid the unfolding violence it took time to get her on the phone. In that moment of uncertainty, Beck’s first question: Did she have her Byrna launcher with her? He had repeatedly instructed her to carry it while on campus. She didn’t have it at that moment — and that gap in preparedness clearly shook him.
The incident reportedly began in the early afternoon, yet Beck did not see his daughter until 8 PM — hours of anxious waiting and distress. Beck also noted the visible signs of trauma his daughter experienced after the fact. Through his account, he emphasized a key point: unpredictable events demand preparedness. While no one can foresee violence, having tools and strategies for protection can provide a measure of control in uncontrollable circumstances.
At Nakestores — your premier Byrna dealer — we align with that message. Non-lethal self-defense is not about fear, it’s about empowerment. If you or a loved one are at risk of being in a situation where only seconds matter, having the right tools can make all the difference.
In Beck’s story we see three important take-aways:
-
Proximity doesn’t guarantee safety — his daughter was within ten feet of danger.
-
Communication isn’t always immediate — texts were sent, but the wait for direct contact stretched on.
-
Preparedness provides peace of mind — Beck’s first thought was: “Does she have her Byrna?”
At Nakestores we offer hands-on training, product demos, and expert guidance in non-lethal self-defense. Reach out today and let us help you get prepared, not panicked.
