11:05 - 11:22 (17 mins)  Bryan Ganz, CEO Byrna Technologies  

Byrna alleges that California is violating the Second Amendment by banning the sale and possession of its non-lethal launchers and chemical irritant projectiles. Ganz says California’s policy is actually pushing people toward lethal firearms because they cannot legally purchase a less-lethal option.
Key points Bryan can break down on air:
• Why it’s easier to get a California concealed-carry permit than to own a less-lethal Byrna launcher
• How California classifies Byrna’s pepper projectile rounds as “tear gas” — and why that categorization is legally faulty
• Why Byrna’s launchers qualify as “bearable arms” under Heller (2008) and Caetano (2016)
• The company’s nationwide market: over 750,000 Byrna devices sold in six years, widely used for defensive purposes
• Why New York may be the next target if the California suit succeeds
• How the lawsuit fits into the broader legal reshaping of modern weapons bans under Bruen
