Defensive rounds vs "offensive" rounds

Well your Honor, I use nuka-bomb cherry green tip zombie rounds that explode on impact, The way god meant it to be!

 

if it's got black death, ripper, shredder, dead, punisher in the product name .. yeah, that's going to be an offense that the defense lawyers are going to use against you in court.

Just run ball ammo for the range and what ever the police are running for their duty carry as your self-defense rounds and you'll be fine.

It's the boutique stuff and home reloads that will jam you up in a court.

 

"Well, Your Honor, I used Dragon's Breath rounds for my home defense, so I'm countersueing the deceased Perp's family for the fire damage to my home!"

 

Reloads and ammo named in such a way as to make the common man believe it is more dangerous are no-nos, as well as modified firearms. If you are in a shooting and use your Black Talon ammo in your Kimber race gun with the low drag holster and holo sight, you will be portrayed as someone just itchin' to kill. Let us also not forget that even if you get a non-woke jury that clears you, there will likely be a civil trial headed your way from the family that could potentially ruin the rest of your life.

I used to think that a .99 magnum with nuclear exploding hollow points would be more humane, but my attorney has set me straight. If you have to shoot, you need to be vanilla as you can be.

 

Thus my stock Colt M-1991A1 stoked with Remington 230gr hardball, just as St. Browning designed it. And my Ruger Securitysix .357Mag loaded with factory Federal jacketed softpoints.
