 carry a firearm, but it's great to have other options. Lethal force isn't the answer for every situation. Imagine a threat comes to you and your family, right? It's imminent. Instinct may drive you to reach for a firearm immediately. What if there were another way to defend yourself and deescalate a situation without the irreversible consequences of deadly force? Berna's non-lethal pistol launcher, equipped with tear gas and kinetic ammo, can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes. No need to go DEFCON 1. We just need protection to ensure we can defuse the situation and drive the threat away.
