Will A Con Byrna?

Saw this advertised on CNN: basically it's a glock-like co2 powered handgun-like device that shoots nonlethal musket-like sting balls into potential assailants:

Hi Rod:

I looked it over, as you probably recall I am not a gun owner myself, although I have some hunting experience from my youth.  One thing intrigued me on their web page - you and your brethren in New York can not buy these.  See below.  I do not know if it is illegal to own them.  This seems pretty counterintuitive to me.  Does California want to force you into the gun market if you are interested in defending your family?  Any insight?  Jim

Thanks for the comments and info, Jim. I wasn't aware of the restriction to California or other states. It's not clear to me if the "gun" or launcher as it's called is restricted or only some of the ammo it shoots. Anyhow, your point is well-taken.

Upon further review, it looks like only the tear-gas or pepper spray ammo in CA.  Everything in NYC though.  

It was a great day when I moved away from the laws of liberal CA Dem politicians. Liberal politicians also increase the cost of living a few hundred dollars a month.
