Just another thought...with no offense to fiddletown meant...the whole object of this ammunition and gun discussion is to avoid the possibility of being charged for anything in the event that we are forced to use a weapon in self defense. Given a gun and ammunition choice that satisfies the first priority...defense of one's presonal safety and that of his family...the best choice is one that raises no potential issues with police, prosecuters and the criminal or civil court system. Fiddletown may agree...even if we're vindicated in court, the cost will be enormous, bankrupting most of us... I vote for a choice that saves me fiddletown's "enormous" fee, and my family the potential expense of travel to see me in an orange jumpsuit! From my perspective, and from Ayoob's apparently, that means factory ammunition.
Regards, Rodfac
