Home defense and hand loads

[Drummer101]

I read awhile ago that if you use a hand load for home defense that if you go to trial they are less lenient because the "normal" loads were not deadly enough.

Is this true?

Use the search button and search on handloads, reloads, and self defense. This has been discussed at length.

Also, search for old articles by Massad Ayoob. He has discussed this topic as well.
