 If not, what are your options? Well, that's where Berner comes in because Berner is an effective, non-lethal form of self-defense, and it fires powerful projectiles, kinetic projectiles, that incapacitate even the largest perpetrators, and it includes tear gas and pepper spray. And the best part is Berner is legal in all 50 states. You don't need a permit. You don't need a background check. It's part of my own personal safety and security defense strategy.
