cop killer bullets; dum-dum....
First, Id say one of the biggest & most controversial topics is the "cop-killer" bullet. Many broad & honestly misleading definitions of "cop-killers" are out there.
Most consider "cop killer bullets" as AP or armor pirercing. Research the KTW line(which was R&Ded by a sworn US law enforcement officer). This ammuntion line was developed nearly 30 years ago & is;
no longer in production.
None the less, anti 2A groups & gun control advocates constantly push for laws that ban AP rounds or "exploding" bullets that can
kill cops.
The truth is that
no US law enforcement officer was ever killed with a so-called cop killer bullet(like the KTW).
None. 0. If a TFLer or forum member with a police or legal background can share a documented event in the USA, please post it.
Cops do get shot & some do get killed in the line of duty with firearms but what kills the most US law enforcement officers is;
traffic accidents.
Id add that many new shooters & gun owners get an unrealistic expectation for JHP or frangible handgun calibers(.45acp, 9x19mm, .38spl, .44magnum, etc).
Hollywood & popular culture are a big part of this.
Another good topic Id bring up for your program is the need for new gun owners & license holders to get
proper skill training & safety lessons.
1000s of new firearms & licenses have been processed in the last 5/6 years. A tactics trainer & gun expert on the 2013 Crimsontrace.com DVD made this point & he's 100% spot on. New & entry level shooters need to learn the proper skills & be aware of the laws/use of force standards. There are resources out there.
