  Retraining and re-equipping safety crew, but our woke, far left governor has made acquiring a CCW, difficult to say the least.

  Some of our team have CCWs, but some do not, so we are considering adding Byrna or similar for those w/o CCW.

  How about your experiences?  I see Umarex also produces a version, how is heir dependability ?

Up front-  I've never handled or used one.
Seen em, that's it

It's not something I'd pay for myself.
I've seen impaired /doped up suspects shrug off
tasers as if it were a ant bite. Same for pepper spray.
I want to know that whatever projectile that I'm sending
at another pur son is going to end their aggression
before they can do harm to me.
That's always been the bottom line, although the
thought of self defense is repulsive to many
for some weird reason.
IMO someone who would attack me is worthless
all around, and doesn't deserve any considerations.
If my self defense causes irreversible harm to an
aggressor that's on them. T.F.B.

, but they may help.

    I know of whence you speak, but the choices I outlined were a Byrna or a sharp stick.  I neglected to mention, this is for a church safety group.

  I don't know if the Byrnas are as good as Sean Hannity says they are, but at least they are something.

  I know of at least myself and perhaps 3 others carrying to include the Pastor, but it wouldn't hurt to have a bit of extra fire power, depending on the when or where of the circumstances.
