I'm not your "Bro". I've misinterpreted and mischaracterized NOTHING. I DO admit to making a simple mistake about Willems. You are correct that he used factory ammo. However, Harold Fish ALSO used FACTORY ammo, and he was convicted and is currently in prison. You made the serious allegation...

No, you don't have the answer. You just think you do. Your illogic is laughable. Can you imagine Kleanbore as a prosecutor in court, addressing the judge: "Gee, your honor and members of the jury, we have virtually no evidence, case histories or legal precedents to present---but they're...

I'd say it's not significant. The people living in the house would have to press charges against him for being on their property with a gun. Since he stopped them from being robbed and very likely murdered, I seriously doubt they'll be pressing charges against him. ;)

Quality control is the main problem that has always plagued Taurus for as far back as I can remember, and continues to plague them. If you buy a Taurus, it's literally a coin toss whether you get a good one or a bad one. They've produced too many lemons over the years for me to trust them...

If the Bias shooting had happened in Texas, he would've been promptly no-billed by a Grand Jury. In a rabidly anti-gun state like New Jersey, you'd better be deeply concerned REGARDLESS of what you shoot somebody with. I don't care if it's FACTORY .22LR ammo that you bought at Wal-Mart. It...

I've done some googling and managed to come up with four cases related to reloads: New Jersey v. Bias---It took THREE trials for the state of New Jersey to convict Mr. Bias, and even then ONLY on a REDUCED charge of "Reckless Manslaughter". The murder charge was thrown out. So it clearly...

In my state CHP class, about one quarter. In my NRA Basic Pistol course, about one third. All middle-aged. In the higher level classes and instructor courses I've taken---ZERO. Also of note, the percentage of people under 30 years old (male and female), was DISMAL. Only my state CHP class had...

The First Amendment has limitations, just like all the other amendments. You can't maliciously yell "fire!" in a crowded auditorium when there's no fire. You (or the news media) can't incite a riot. You (or the news media) can't libel or slander someone. You (or the news media) do NOT have a...

The first three brands that come to mind: Glock Kel-Tec Hi-Point

There's an element of risk in virtually everything you do in life, Bubba. Taking a shower is a risk. There are NUMEROUS documented cases of people being seriously injured and even killed after falling and striking their head. Should we stop taking showers? There are tens of thousands of people...

:rolleyes: This relatively minor case at the STATE level, IN NO WAY established any sort of legal precedent. If it had, Mr. Ayoob, Fiddletown (practicing attorney) and yourself should be able to cite NUMEROUS more recent cases where reloaders were convicted in court. It has been almost...

Kleanbore's above quotations are completely irrelevant to this topic. "Apples and oranges", as Mr. Ayoob would say! :)

Thousands of people have been accidentally shot (and died in many cases) with handguns. Thousands of people have committed suicide with handguns. Thousands of people have been murdered with handguns. Thousands of robberies have been committed with handguns. Yet no avid gun owner...

AMEN, Bubba! And don't forget that one of those two cases ended in an ACQUITTAL. One known minor state-level case in American legal history where one man was found guilty, and the fact he was carrying reloads wasn't even the primary factor in the verdict, does NOT outweigh ANYTHING. In...

And I must respectfully disagree with yours. :) The virtual complete lack of case histories, documentation and evidence presented in this thread by those that hold your position, clearly fails to substantiate your claims. The hypothesis that "reloads are a legal nightmare", has thus far also...
