Wow. This is special level stupid. If you're having to shoot at someone, you need something lethal. This isn't even as debilitating as pepper spray or a taser.

read the fine print: "while drastically lessening the possibility of family members being killed in an accident".
Nobody forces you to use them, hell, it's USA... But it could be a good alternative for people affraid of their gun falling into a hand of his child.

Read the news. Accidents do happen.

drastically lessening the possibility of family members being killed in an accident. This is thought up by someone who has never faced armed intruders......personally I prefer .45 ACP hollow point.

Anything that can prevent people being killed unnecessarily is good, but with the mentality of people [psychopaths?] like, Racqia Dvorak, and CAVUMark, will people actually buy it? Perhaps only when one of their family die accidentally, will the message get through.

Only in America is there a need for a solution to such a problem. A CO2 BBgun will probably be as effective...
But it may still be mistaken for a real firearm and get you shot.

Sooo basically pepper spray in dry pelletized form. Better off with a taser/pepper spray combo device.

This seems to be stupider than the violating the caveat about 'never bringing a knife to a gunfight'. A person has no idea what weapons are carried by an assailant.....I shudder to think of someone attempting to 'defend' his/her life against someone with a 9mm or a. 40 Cal or a. 45. Multiple hits with these handgun rounds do 't always stop a 'high' or determined attacker....besides, this item would be illegal in Canada.

These days, anything that improves the safety level at home, -especially something that has no waiting period, background checks or 'political baggage'- has to be a good thing. That said, facing off an armed attacker with merely a (essentially, scaled-down) paintball gun should I think rather have a more serious backup plan in place too.

Great.... now when the criminals get their hands on these.... the rates of A SALT will drastically increase. ;)
But seriously, this is awesome, and assuming it works as stated, would be the PERFECT alternative to the whole.... "I have to own a gun because that is the only thing that works" Mentality.
