Summary

A company that sells non-lethal self-defense weapons has brought a lawsuit against the State of California, alleging a state heavy on gun restrictions, was violating the Second Amendment because it is making it difficult for people to buy their products. Byrna Technologies, who's weapons look like handguns but shoot powerful chemical irritants rather than lethal bullets are legal in 50 states, but California has blocked sales of Byrna's ammunition and launchers. The complaint compares Byrna's products to Tasers and other stun guns which both received Second Amendment protections by the Supreme Court. FOX's Tonya J. Powers speaks with Bryan Gantz, President and CEO of Byrna Technologies, maker of non-lethal self-defense weaponry, who explains what his products do and why they filed this lawsuit.
