On my news last night I saw a report that schools are conducting active shooter drills in the same way they do fire drills. This is becoming an issue that every school needs to plan and prepare for to protect their students' lives. On the TV report they were practicing running and hiding but I think giving teachers access to Lamperd's Pepper Blast to disable the shooter would be much better. One teacher throwing one Pepper Blast could stop the shooter cold.
Every school needs to learn about this.
Wow - another school shooting in Florida today. This is an issue that every school must prepare for now. Lamperd's Pepper Blast is what they need so any teacher or other school staff can be ready to stop a shooter in thr first few minutes. Putting guns into schools is not the answer because it only increases the danger. Lamerd's Pepper Blast will not kill anyone but it will stop shooters and save lives.
I think it is was excellent move on Lamperd's part to train police on Pepper Blast so that they can then go out and recommend it to the schools in their own areas. This is a very credible way to get the product introduced, after which word will likely spread to a more and more school districts that Lamperd's solution to the school shooter problem is the the best measure to put in place and be ready.
There seems to be no end to these shooter threats. Very glad to see this one was stopped before anyone was killed this time. But the schools need to be prepared and Lamperd has the solution they need in Pepper Blast. Funding is being approved and allocated for new school safety measures now. Using that funding to put Pepper Blast in every school is the way to go.
Everyone I talk to is opposed to arming teachers with guns. Lamperd's Pepper Blast is the best option and it should be in every school. The schools are looking for options now and new funds for school security measures are being approved. This is the best opportunity that LLLI has ever had.
I agree that Pepper Blast is a WAY better solution than giving teachers baseball bats but this story shows schools are looking for ways to stop a shooter without arming teachers with guns. Every school should have Lamperd's Pepper Blast, not guns and not baseball bats. And I also agree there is no reason just to toss one Pepper Blast. More would be better and there's no reason teachers could not throw more than one at a shooter.
The high cost legal liability is one more strong reason every police department needs Pepper Blast and other less lethal options too. I didn't even think of that until I saw this story about Detroit paying $225,000 for dogs that were shot by police. Lamperd will save lives and a lot of tax dollars too.
All the training classes for Lamperd's Pepper Blast being filled up quickly show this product is starting to be recognized as a real solution now. The attendees of these classes will be buying and using the product and also helping to get it established in the U.S where Pepper Blast is needed the most and the market is the largest. Thanks for posting the new info from the LLLI website.
I see Lamperd selling a great amount of Pepper Blast in the U.S. from this point on. They clearly have an excellent solution to the problem of school shooters and they are setting up to manufacture this product in the U.S. to be able to supply it to schools across the country. Every school needs this now and other public places too.
After the Parkland and other school shootings in the news this year there is major funding being allocated to new school safety measures. I am sure Lamperd Pepper Blast will be on the spending list for many schools and that's just what we need to protect our kids now.
That is cool, and impressive too. The letter is dated March 20th and it's a specific endorsement of Lamperd's Pepper Blast product from the Government of Canada. Here's a link right to it: http://www.lamperdlesslethal.com/govsupport2018.pdf
I think LLLI has got something really important now and it's just starting to get noticed. THANKS
Yes, that looks like a new announcement on the Lamperd website and it means they are gearing up to be ready for a lot of demand from U.S. schools for Pepper Blast. Great to see this.
There was TV news coverage of the March events in every city all day on Sarurday and its still going strong today. One of the main messages they were trying to convey is they absolutely DO NOT want to see teachers armed with guns as an answer to school shooters. Lamperd has a better answer with Pepper Blast. I think Lamperd is going to be selling a lot of them to schools in every part of the U.S.
The latest news from LLLI told us that the first purchase orders for Pepper Blast are already in...

Lamperd Less Lethal Announces New Assembly Facility in Pittsburgh for Pepper Blast to Counter Active Shooter and Aggressive Animal Situations
Strong Response and Initial Orders to Product Introduction for School Safety and Humane Protection Against Aggressive Animals
SARNIA, Ontario - (NewMediaWire) - March 13, 2018 - Lamperd Less Lethal, Inc. (OTC PINK: LLLI), an innovation leader and manufacturer of advanced security solutions for law enforcement, military and other users worldwide, is now making efforts to help open a new Pittsburgh assembly facility in response to strong interest in the U.S. and the first purchase orders for its new Pepper Blast product. Pepper Blast is an easy to use, OC pepper compound dispenser that can immediately incapacitate an active shooter with severe respiratory distress and impairment of vision for up to 10 minutes without the risks of using deadly force. For this reason, it offers a solution to the major issue of school shooting events as have tragically been in the news. Pepper Blast also has an ideal application as a humane protection measure in the great many situations involving aggressive dogs or other animals that police, animal control and other professionals face on a regular basis. Unlike common pepper spray devices, Pepper Blast does not need to be carefully aimed but only thrown in the vicinity of the threat where it instantly disburses a powerful but harmless cloud of pepper irritant over a 20-foot radius without releasing any harmful fragments.
The new assembly facility for Pepper Blast, to be located in Pittsburgh, is being planned to open in the first half of 2018 so that Lamperd will be able to easily supply large numbers of these units to customers throughout the United States. The facility will be operated under the authority of E.J.C. Security Services, Inc. which specializes in "Use of Force Management and Training" and has been working together with Lamperd Less Lethal for over 20 years providing highly accredited training functions on the company’s products worldwide. E.J.C. management may be contacted directly by phone at (412) 855-7964 or email to bullitt67@verizon.net.
Barry Lamperd, CEO of Lamperd Less Lethal, stated, "The response we have been receiving to our Pepper Blast product has indicated that this will be a very important area of focus in 2018 and beyond. The vital issue of protecting students in schools from the threat of active shooters is something we want to do everything in our power to help resolve. Lamperd's Pepper Blast product may be the best solution to this issue as it can quickly and effectively counter a shooting situation without having to resort to arming teachers with guns or putting limited numbers of very expensive armed guards into our schools. We believe every teacher and school official should have simple training and ready access to Pepper Blast so that any one of them will be in a position to stop or greatly diminish the threat of an active shooter wherever the need arises and be able to save lives. Additionally, we have been receiving strong interest in Pepper Blast from professionals who must face the threat of aggressive dogs or other animals on a regular basis. Pepper Blast is also an ideal measure to deal with this widespread issue as it will frighten off or remove the aggression from the animal without having to resort to the use of deadly force. Most police, animal control and other field professionals do not want to kill dogs or other animals unnecessarily and we have been receiving feedback that they would welcome Pepper Blast as a humane protection measure to have available. For both the school security and aggressive animal roles, we foresee a very large demand for the Lamperd Pepper Blast product in Canada, the U.S. and many other countries around the world."

I listened to Barry's radio interview today which was good exposure for the company. The host seems genuinely supportive of Lamperd's non-lethal approach. I think the media attention will continue to grow because of all the focus on school shootings today. Barry is starting to get noticed.
I am so glad that Lamperd is able to offer a real solution to these continuing shooting incidents with the new Pepper Blast product. This product needs to go into every school so teachers or anyone on scene can have it ready to stop a shooter as soon as something starts. Thank you, Barry Lamperd.
Thanks for finding the article on Lamperd. I think the Pepper Blast is just starting to get noticed and there will be a lot more attention on this product for Lamperd as it becomes more well known. It's a good photo in the article with Barry holding up an actual Pepper Blast so you can see the size of it. This would be no problem for any teachers or other school officials to handle.
That's great they're getting public attention. What paper is that? Can you give us an online link?
The long term value appreciation for LLLI is what I am here for. From the news we are seeing, I think we can expect there will be substantial sales for Pepper Blast and other Lamperd products in 2018. This is a real company with a real growth story and they are now providing a solution to the very series issue of shooters in our schools and other public places.
I also see the news today. Thousands of students are walking out of class and marching to demand real changes for school safety. I applaud them and I am very glad Lamperd is making a great contribution to this very important cause with their new Pepper Blast so every teacher in every school will have the ability to stop a shooter and save lives. Pepper Blast belongs in every school and I think we will see that. Thank you, Barry Lamperd.
Very good developments from LLLI in their news today. I am impressed that they are setting up a plant in the U.S. to produce Pepper Blast so quickly. I think the demand for this product is already exceeding original expectations. The animal control use can be very high volume and a high revenue generator for the company.
I talked to Barry after the last PR and he said they were getting many calls about Pepper Blast from different sources. This product should be very successful.
Thanks for the point-out, Ramsnasty. I did see a new section on the bottom of the Pepper Blast page today about uses for animal control. Pepper Blast has a lot of uses and I think Lamperd is getting a lot of calls on the product.
Wow- the story about 600 copycat cases after the Parkland school shooting is an eye-opener. The need for Lamperd's products, especially the new Pepper Blast is unquestionable. I have also seen a lot of stories in the news about new funds being allocated for school security measures. I am sure Lamperd will be seeing a lot of new customers because of this terrible school shooting issue that must be addressed.
There is a lot of support building now for new security measures to be put into schools. Measures have to be set up to deal with the next shooters that show up. Arming teachers is not the answer most people want, including the teachers but the teachers and other school personnel are the ones who need something because they are the ones on the scene when a shooter arrives.
Lamper's Pepper Blast is one of the best ideas and I think it will be recognized quickly and be implemented in schools everywhere. THANKS to Barry Lamperd for coming up with this excellent solution to protect our school kids.
Another School Shooting in Michigan today is in the news. I have to say Lamperd is going to be the company to turn to for this terrible issue. The Pepper Blast should be in every school for use on these shooters anytime they show up. Any teacher, coach or anyone can toss Pepper Blast and the shooter will be on the floor gasping for breath instead of shooting. LLLI is the answer.
Good news from LLLI today. They are making a great case for why Lamperd had the best solution to deal with school shooters. If you watch the videos on the website you can see that anyone exposed to this product will be gasping for breath and unable to continue shooting. This is a much better answer than putting more guns into schools in any way. Barry Lamperd has really come through here.
I spoke to Barry and also heard that he is getting a lot of calls from different people interested in the Pepper Blast. This does seem like a product that can go into every school to be ready if a shooter shows up. I also have seen a lot of the news coverage going and its clear that arming teachers with guns is not a popular idea. Paying a few armed guards high salaries is also not an attractive option. Giving every teacher Pepper Blast should work.
The school shooter situation is not going away, obviously. Thank goodness this latest one was stopped before anyone was killed. Clearly the schools need measures they can take when someone shows up with a gun. We will never see all teachers carrying guns because its too dangerous a prospect but every teacher should have something to stop a shooter. Lamperd has what they need now.
President Trump gave a White House briefing for the news today and made it clear that we must do more to protect our schools from more incidents of shooters. There is a lot of opposition to arming teachers or school staff with guns. Lamperd seems to have a better answer with their less lethal weapons, especially the new Pepper Blast product. I think this is a moment where will Lamperd really start to get noticed soon.
This is an excellent idea from Lamperd to stop school shooters like we just saw in Florida. Any teacher at the school would be able to toss this at a shooter and impair him for long enough to be jumped and subdued. And it's not really dangerous for the students. I think Lamperd has hit on something special with this new product and just when it is needed too.
I am looking for Lamperd to show significant revenue growth in the 2018 year. That's the picture we have seen developing, especially with all the new sales opportunities that Barry has been lining up. We are in at the base level here and in a very good position with LLLI.
Nice photos of from The Shot Show. They were certainly busy with customers. I see the big Less Lethal sign up there which represents the Lamperd product line. Good job by our distributor to push for more Lamperd sales.
Remember I told you that I spoke to Barry in December and he confirmed that CTOA is placing additional orders for Lamperd products. We really can't expect a press release on each individual order. I don't think Barry reads this board, by the way. The best way to communicate with him is to call on Lamperd's phone line. It's (519) 344-4445.
The Shot Show opens tomorrow. Lamperd's new U.S. distributors will be there to present our products to the largest gathering on gun buyers in the world. This is a big opportunity, not only to be presenting Lamperd to all these buyers but also to finally be breaking into the U.S. market. Barry Lamperd has needed good access to the U.S. market for a long time and now he has it. Time to start booking U.S. sales. Go LLLI.
I'm very pleased with all the news and updates we have seen from LLLI recently. Barry Lamperd is getting new business going in every direction as he covered in his shareholder's letter to kick off the year. Coming up next week we have Lamperd's new U.S. distributors exhibiting at the Shot Show in Las Vegas and presenting our products to thousands of buyers who will be attending. Getting U.S. sales started is a big step forward for this company that has previously sold mostly to Canadian buyers. 2018 should be a great year for LLLI.
Well, the difference is this time we have a large Canadian sales company coming to Lamperd and requesting the products for sales to their customers for bear control. All Lamperd needed to do was get the government approval for retail sales which they have done now. We should see these sales starting any time.
Everything we have seen from LLLI lately is pointing to a lot more product sales for 2018. I am glad they are keeping shareholders updated with more news. The large Canadian sales company that wants our products for bear control use is very encouraging. There are a lot of bears in Canada and I can see many people buying Lamperd products to push bears off their property without really harming them. This is a great idea.
Lamperd is a real company that deserves long term investment which is what I am giving it. Barry Lamperd and his team have been working very hard to produce the best less lethal products on the market. The hard part is done. Now the company is turning its attentions to expanding their sales network to get these products out to paying customers on a much bigger scale than they have done in the past. I like the developing story of LLLI a lot and I am here for the real price appreciation that is due. This should be much more than anything we have seen so far.
Climbing into the .02s today was great to see but I think this is just a taste of what we will see this year. All the new projects that Barry Lamperd covered in the shareholder letter will push LLLI to new highs that we have not seen before. Glad other investors are getting optimistic about this company.
Looking very good on LLLI today. Glad I own this stock and did not give up on it. I see lots of new interest and new buying but this is still small considering how much business this company should be doing in the coming year. Barry Lamperd is working hard to make LLLI a winner and he is succeeding.
