Hi All.Just compleated mt CCW class and had a few questions to ask.
I don't pretend to know the law ,but i did get a very thick book to start reading. Question is
Instructor, Marine Sniper,(retired),trained snipers and special forces for 8 years,Cal police dept 22 years, and now teaches CCW and hand to hand combat classes,Just some back ground on him. Now question.
He made the statement that under any circumstance(sp) DO NOT use your reloads for self defence and DO NOT use rounds that are advertised as self defense rounds from store. His reasons were That the prosecuter will use this info against you in court in a heart beat. He (prosecuter) will try to convince jury that you baught this round and shot this guy with the intent of killing him,not to disable him,not to get a chance to get away ,but for the sole purpose of Killing. He recommended just your run of the mill hollow point on the shelf bullet. He aslo stated that if it ever happens and you end up in court,that you better know every nut,bolt and screw on your pistol or gun and what they are called also because he will ask you and try to establish that you know nothing of guns
Am i being a worry wart or is this all possable?.
