Was he found guilty? My guess is no; but Id love to know the particulars that got him charged in the first place. Was there a destruction of property? In any case its an anomaly

Its like charging the kids who make the "McGyver bombs" in a plastic bottle with aluminum and drain cleaner with making a bomb because the chemicals expand and cause the plastic bottle to pop making a loud noise
 
LTL launchers generally do not require a background check or a CCL to purchase or carry concealed in most states. That seems to be the only attraction for some folks I think. Note, I did not say "all" states. Negativity here in years-past seemed to be that the pepper-balls didn't burst on impact reliably iirc.
 
Here’s a picture from their webpage. Cost is $579. I wonder how many have been sold? To me these are in the “better than a sharp stick” category.

Hi,

I'm not convinced these are an effective non-lethal deterrent. While I did not take part in the testing, several employees and instructors at my range used these in simulated self-defence scenarios. The management was considering selling them in the pro shop. When I asked about their evaluation, none of them were impressed. They said half the time the pepper balls would not break open upon impact. This was a couple of years ago. Maybe the product has been improved since then. I don't know.

The fact that it looks so much like a gun might prompt a bad guy to pull his own gun. You know what they say about things that need to be brought to a gun fight. I think good old fashioined pepper spray would be just as effective at close range, arm's length.

Here's a review...



Thank you for your indulgence,

Come up against someone on PCP, and the deterrents are few.
