Washington, D.C. 20549 Re: WRAP TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed June 19, 2020 File No. 333-239329 Ladies and Gentlemen: This letter is submitted on behalf of Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) in response to comments of the staff of the Office of Manufacturing (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed June 19, 2020 (the “Registration Statement”) as set forth in your letter dated June 30, 2020 (the “Comment Letter”), addressed to James Barnes, Chief Financial Officer of the Company. The Company is filing its Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (the “Amendment”) contemporaneously with the submission of this letter to address the comments raised by the Staff in the Comment Letter, as more particularly set forth below. For reference purposes, the Staff’s numbered comments have been reproduced in bold herein, with responses immediately following such comment. The responses provided herein are based upon information provided to Disclosure Law Group, a Professional Corporation, by the Company. Description of Certain Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws Choice of Forum, page 12 1. We note your disclosure that you do not believe that the exclusive forum provision "would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act." Please revise to remove the reference to your belief about the provision and state clearly whether it does or does not apply to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. In addition, the statement as currently written appears to indicate that the exclusive forum provision does apply to the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Please confirm or revise your disclosure. Response The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment, and advises the Staff that the Company has revised the disclosure within the Amendment regarding the Choice of Forum to remove the reference to our belief about the provision, and to state that the exclusive forum provision does not apply to actions or proceedings brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction, as more particularly set forth below: Choice of Forum Our Bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by, or other wrongdoing by, any director, officer, or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our Charter or our Bylaws, or (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our Charter or our Bylaws, or (v) any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Our Bylaws provide that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our common stock will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to this choice of forum provision. This exclusive forum provision does not apply to establish the Delaware Court of Chancery as the forum for actions or proceedings brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. This exclusive forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to choose its preferred judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage the filing of lawsuits with respect to such claims. If a court were to find this exclusive forum provision to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in another jurisdiction, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. We hope that the foregoing has been responsive to the Staff’s comments. If you have any questions or would like further information regarding the foregoing, please do not hesitate the Company’s counsel, Jessica R. Sudweeks, at (619) 272-7063.

For example, your prospectus cover page includes this disclosure and shows hypothetical offering expenses which include selling commissions that may be payable to a broker-dealer. Similar disclosures, including a reduction for selling commissions, appear in the Use of Proceeds section and elsewhere in the prospectus. Please note that your registration statement should reflect your plan of distribution at the time of effectiveness. If you intend to conduct your offering on a self- underwritten basis, please clarify this and show your cover page information, use of proceeds and other disclosures without reduction for commissions. You should also amend your Plan of Distribution section to identify the officers and directors who will conduct the offering and address whether they will rely on the exemption from broker-dealer registration in Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1. If, after effectiveness, you decide to change your plan of distribution to conduct your offering through broker-dealers, you should file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to provide all necessary disclosures and obtain the approval of FINRA of underwriting compensation, if applicable. Response In response to Staff’s comment, we have revised all applicable disclosure in the prospectus contained within the Amendment to remove any reference to the potential use of a broker-dealer for the offering.

Washington, D.C. 20549 Attention: Pamela Long, Assistant Director RE: Wrap Technologies, Inc. Amendment No. 2 Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed June 22, 2017 File No. 333-217340 Dear Ms. Long: This letter is submitted on behalf of Wrap Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) in response to comments of the staff of the Office of Manufacturing and Construction (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 the Company’s Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”), filed on June 22, 2017, as set forth in your letter, dated July 12, 2017 (the “Comment Letter”) addressed to James A. Barnes, President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Contemporaneously herewith, the Company is filing Pre-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement (the “Amendment”) in response to the Staff’s comments raised in the Comment Letter. For reference purposes, the Staff’s numbered comments have been reproduced in bold herein, with responses immediately following such comment. The responses provided herein are based upon information provided to Disclosure Law Group, a Professional Corporation, by the Company. Cover page and Alternate cover page 1. Please revise to clarify whether you expect to have your shares quoted on one of the OTC Markets, such as OTCQX, OTCQB or OTCPink, as suggested on the primary offering cover page, or on FINRA’s OTCBB, as suggested on the alternative cover page. Response The cover page of the prospectus contained in the Amendment now discloses that the Company expects to have its shares quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace. Capitalization and Financing, page 16 2. We note your filing is a best-efforts no minimum offering. Therefore, please revise your capitalization table so that it does not reflect the receipt or application of proceeds from this offering. Response The capitalization table in the Amendment has been revised to remove the receipt of or application of proceeds from the offering. Alternate Prospectus 3. We note your response to comment seven of our letter dated June 14, 2017. However, we also note that the purpose of the acquisition of MegaWest, a company with no assets or operations, was to “establish Wrap as an independent publicly traded corporation with a diverse shareholder base.” We also note disclosure that you expect to have 750 shareholders upon completion of the distribution, as compared to 14 holders of record as of June 20, 2017. We believe that given the stated purpose for the MegaWest acquisition and the relative numbers of shareholders of each company, this involves a primary distribution of Wrap’s shares to the public, with the publicly held company, Petro River, and its shareholders acting as conduits in that distribution to the public. Accordingly, the registration statement should register the distribution to the public as a primary offering. It is not appropriate to register only the transaction to Petro River’s existing shareholders. Please revise to include the information described in Item 507 of Regulation S-K and also identify Petro River’s shareholders as underwriters. If you believe that the Item 507 of Regulation S-K information should not be provided on an individual basis and the identification of all of the shareholders receiving shares in the distribution is not material, please explain why. In this regard, you may wish to consider Regulation S-K Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations Question 240.01. Response We acknowledge the Staff’s comment regarding the distribution described in the Alternate Prospectus contained in previous filings of the Registration Statement. Given the Staff’s position that the distribution should be registered as a public offering, which, in turn, would require that Petro River’s shareholders be identified as statutory underwriters, the Company and Petro River have elected not to proceed with the registration of shares held by Petro River and the distribution of such shares at this time. Accordingly, the Alternate Prospectus and all other disclosure regarding the distribution have been removed from the Amendment. Legal Opinion, Exhibit 5.1 4. We note that the legal opinion states that the shares being registered to be distributed as a dividend “when issued and sold” will be duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable. Because the shares being registered to be distributed as a dividend are already outstanding, the legal opinion should state that such shares distributed as a dividend are currently legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Response As noted in the response to comment 3 above, the Company and Petro River have elected not to proceed with the registration of shares held by Petro River and the distribution of such shares at this time. The legal opinion has been updated to remove any reference to the distribution, and a copy of the updated legal opinion is attached to the Amendment as Exhibit 5.1. * * * If you have any questions or would like to discuss our response, please contact the undersigned at (619) 795-7050.

Alternate Prospectus Alternate Pages; The Offering, page 4 6. We note your response to comment ten in our letter dated May 12, 2017 Please revise your disclosure to state that Petro River is, rather may be deemed, an underwriter. Response The disclosure requested by the Staff in the comment above is included in the Alternate Pages to the Amendment, in the section titled “The Distribution,” under the heading “Shares to be Distributed by Petro River,” beginning on page Alternate Prospectus - 7. 7. We note your response to comment 11 in our letter dated May 12, 2017. In addition to the alternate prospectus registering all of the shares of common stock of the registrant owned by Petro River that are being distributed to the Petro River shareholders, the alternate prospectus must also (1) register the resale of shares by Petro River Oil Corp.’s shareholders, which should be at a fixed price, (2) all of the Petro River Oil Corp.’s shareholders who receive shares in the distribution must be identified, and Item 507 of Regulation S-K disclosure must be provided and (3) such shareholders must be named as underwriters. In this regard, we refer you to Securities Act Rules Compliance Disclosure & Interpretations 612.15 which can be found on our website at https://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/guidance/securitiesactrules-interps.htm. Response The Company has reviewed the Staff’s comment, and requests reconsideration of the Staff’s position, for the following reasons, as discussed with the Staff on June 15, 2017. Petro River’s Shareholders Shouldn’t be Considered Underwriters. The Company is registering the distribution of shares previously issued by the Company to Petro River Oil Corp (“Petro River”), and, as set forth above, Petro River has agreed to be named as an underwriter. In this regard, Petro River does not disagree that it falls within the definition of an underwriter under Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), since it arguably received the shares from the Company with a view to distribution to Petro River’s shareholders. As a result, the transaction involving the distribution of shares by Petro River to its shareholders, upon declaration of effectiveness of the registration statement, will be registered under the Securities Act, and Petro River will be named as the underwriter since it arguably received the shares with a view towards their distribution, with attendant liability under Section 11 of the Securities Act. Since the registration statement intends to register the distribution of the shares to Petro River’s shareholders, and Petro River is named as an underwriter, the analysis then turns to the transaction involving the offer and sale of shares received by Petro River’s shareholders as a dividend, whether such transaction requires registration, or whether an exemption therefrom is available. If an exemption is available, then naming such shareholders as an underwriter in the registration statement, as suggested by the Staff, would not be required. The Company believes that Petro River’s shareholders should not be required to register the offer and sale of shares received from Petro River in a registered transaction, or otherwise be named as an underwriter, since an exemption from registration is available for the subsequent offer and sale of their shares in reliance of Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act, which exempts a transaction by a person other than an issuer, underwriter, or dealer. In this regard, Petro River’s shareholders are not taking the securities from the Company with a view to the distribution of such shares, or even from an affiliate of the Company. Such shareholders are receiving the shares as a dividend, and would rely on the exemption for resales typically relied upon by shareholders receiving shares in a registered transaction – Section 4(a)(1). As a result, Petro River’s shareholders should be able to avail themselves of the “ordinary trading” exemption typically available to shareholders receiving registered shares, rather than being required to separately register such transaction and be named as an underwriter – a requirement that does not apply in ordinary broker transactions not involving an underwriter. To hold otherwise would require a conclusion that Petro River’s shareholders are receiving the shares from the Company, rather than from the underwriter in a registered transaction, with a view to their distribution in an unregistered transaction, and that is simply not the case. The CDI Cited by the Staff Should be Distinguished. The Staff cites Securities Act Compliance Disclosure & Interpretation 612.15 (the “Interpretation”) in support of its position that Petro River’s shareholders should be named as underwriters and selling stockholders in the registration statement. The Interpretation relies on a few facts that justify the Staff’s position in such Interpretation, which facts can be distinguished from those in the instant case, as follows: 1. In contrast to the parent company identified in the Interpretation, Petro River has active operations, rather than “minimal operations”; 2. Petro River did not create the Company, with “no significant operations” with the objective of spinning it off to its shareholders. To the contrary, the Company is a company independent of Petro River, and has a fully developed product and business plan; 3. Petro River was not involved in the formation of the Company, nor was it involved in its development; 4. In the transaction that is the subject of the Interpretation, such transaction involved a merger of the spun-off subsidiary after the creation of the subsidiary, and spin-off. In the instant case, the merger of the Company with and into Petro River’s subsidiary occurred before the spin-off; 5. In contrast to the parent company in the case of the Interpretation, Petro River is not distributing 95% of the outstanding shares of the Company, but rather only 2%; and 6. After the spin-off and merger, insiders (or affiliates) of Petro River are not contemplating selling shares of the Company that they receive in the spin-off, in contrast to the insiders of the parent company in the case of the Interpretation, which justifies requiring such insiders (affiliates) to be named as underwriters, as the Staff concluded in such Interpretation. As a result of the above analysis, the Company respectfully believes that the Staff’s reliance on the Interpretation is misplaced, as the facts in the instant case can be clearly distinguished. Further, the facts in the instant case clearly support the fact that Petro River’s shareholders are receiving the shares in a registered transaction, and therefore should be entitled to rely on Section 4(a)(1) to exempt any further offers and sales by such shareholders in ordinary brokers transactions, without the requirement under the Securities Act to separately register such transactions and be named as an underwriter in any applicable registration statement. Undertakings 8. Please disclose the undertakings required by Item 512(i) of Regulation S-K. Response The undertaking required by Item 512(i) of Regulation S-K is included with the Company’s undertakings appearing under Item 17 of the Amendment, beginning on page II-3. * * * If you have any questions or would like to discuss our response, please contact the undersigned at (619) 795-7050.

Rule 419 (a)(2) of the Securities Act defines a blank check company as a company that: (i) is a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person; and (ii) is issuing "penny stock," as defined in Rule 3a51-1 (17 CFR 240.3a51-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Although the Company is a development stage company that will be issuing penny stock, and has included disclosures to that effect in the Amendment, the Company has no plans to merge with an unidentified party and the Company has a very specific business plan – to commercialize its first product, BolaWrap™ 100, as well as future development and commercialization of security technology for its customers. As such, the Company cannot be characterized as a company without a specific business plan or a company whose business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with unidentified parties. In order to be classified as a blank check company, a company must meet the criteria of both subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of Rule 419(a)(2). Because the Company is has a specific business plan and is not a company whose business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with unidentified parties as provided by subparagraph (i), the Company cannot be categorized as a blank check company as defined in Rule 419(a)(2). 3.
