I'm interested in hearing what people's thoughts are on having a gun (that is for self-defense) worked over by a gunsmith, i.e. polishing, throating the barrel, smoothing the trigger pull, etc, etc. Then say that gun is actually used to protect ones-self and the perpetrator who is shot is permentately maimed in some way...
Any thoughts about if an over zealous lawyer would claim that the gun owner was some kind of violent nut because the owner got the gun fixed up? You know how they say that one reason why you should not use handloads for self-defense is because a lawyer might start spinning stories of the gun owner working into the night producing bullets of death!
This might sound pretty crazy, but in today's society with so many crazy lawsuits and with juries being mostly uneducated about guns, it just seems to me that a lawyer could get pretty far in trying to pin something on an innocent gun owner... What are your thoughts???
