Silly: Hawaii Approves $80 And $50 “Blast Sticks” For Self-Defense, Fires Baby Powder At Criminals

The following report is by KHON 2:

Hawaii’s newest non-lethal self-defense device just hit store shelves two weeks ago at Live Safe Hawaii.

At the push of a button, a powdery substance blasts into the air.

“The safety, you’re just going to move it to the left and press the button,” said Kurt Tsuneyoshi, The Blast Stick marketing manager. “The moment you press that button, it punctures that CO2 and this whole capsule is like a shotgun shell full of pepper and PAVA and it’s just going to blast one time.”
