The nearest place to actually shoot a Byrna before you buy one is fifteen minutes up the road — not a warehouse in another state.
Take Savannah Road out to Route 9, west toward Milton, and turn off at Pettyjohn Road. Nine miles, no highway, no toll. You will be on the range before the parking meters downtown have run out.
Every other Byrna in Delaware arrives in a cardboard box. Ours you can hold, shoot at 60 feet, and hand back if it is not right for you. That is a fifteen-minute drive from Lewes to find out — against a week of shipping and a return label if you guess wrong online.
Lewes is a walking town, and that is exactly why people here ask us about less-lethal. The canal path at dusk, the ferry terminal lot at 10pm, the mile back to the car after dinner on Second Street — none of those are situations where most people want to be carrying a firearm, and most of them would not be legal places to draw one anyway.
We also see a lot of Lewes second-home owners and retirees who want something in the nightstand that does not need a safe, a permit, or a conversation with the HOA. A Byrna is not a firearm, there is no background check, and it will sit loaded in a drawer for years and still fire on the first pull.
You can buy a Byrna online in ninety seconds. What you can't do online is find out whether it fits your hand, whether you can reach the safety, or whether you'd actually hit anything under pressure.
Our outdoor range is open to anyone from Lewes considering a launcher. Fire every pistol we carry back to back, feel the difference in size and recoil, and see your groups on paper. No obligation to buy anything.

Yes. You have to be 18 or older and that is the whole requirement in Delaware — no permit, no background check, no waiting period. What matters is where you are taking it afterwards: laws on carrying CO₂-powered launchers and chemical irritants vary by state and municipality, so tell us where home is and we will tell you what we know and what we do not.
Yes, and that is the point of the place. Our outdoor range is open to anyone considering a launcher — fire every pistol we carry back to back, see your groups on paper, and there is no obligation to buy anything at the end of it. Call ahead on (302) 339-9129 and we will have the range clear when you arrive.
No. Byrna launchers are legal in all 50 states, are not classified as firearms by the ATF, and require no permit and no background check. You must be 18 or older to purchase. Note that in Delaware — along with Idaho, Illinois, New Jersey and Rhode Island — convicted felons are prohibited from owning one even though it is not a firearm.
We honor every Byrna.com sale — same price, no shipping wait. Active and retired military and law enforcement take 10% off with ID, though that one cannot be combined with a sale or any other promotion.
17049 Pettyjohn Road, Milton DE. Monday to Friday, 11am to 5pm — other times by appointment. Call ahead and we'll have the range clear when you arrive.
