Bears and my Byrna !
I've had my Byrna SD for 1 /12 years and today is the first time I had to use it for self defense. However not against a human, a bear! I live an area where we have black bears that will break into homes. Today is the first time I have lived here (for decades)that I hear my front door being pounded on and almost being broken down. Not by a person, but a bear. The bear got tired, left and walked 50 feet into the forest to get its 1 year old cubs. I could tell they were think of all coming back and giving my door a three bear try-UNTIL I fired my Byrna, not at them but near them. The sound of it scared them off and for now, end of problem. A word about guns where I live. I live in CA, if you fire a gun in my area, for any reason you are going to get a visit from the Sheriff and head off to jail. I wan't worried with my Byrna. Plus if I had to shoot the bear with the Byrna, I'm sure the sting of it would have made it run away also. Thanks Byrna for a great non lethal solution. Jeff S.
