There was recently a case in Maryland where a homeowner shot and killed a man who had entered his home and then his bedroom. The homeowner warned the subject that he would be shot if he entered the bedroom. When the subject entered the bedroom after being warned several times, the homeowner feared for his life and his family's lives, and fired four shots. three shot hit the subject in the chest and one in the neck. The homeowner had used federal hydra shoks.
Now the kicker of this story is that there was a very anti gun lawyer in the DA's office who decided to bring charges against the homeowner for malicious intent because of the fact that he had his gun loaded with hydra shoks. The attorney stated that because the homeowner had loaded his gun with hydra shoks, his total intent was to use them to maliciously kill someone.
The Prosecuter had a Sgt. From the Maryland state police testify as to the ballistic capabilities and lethality of the federal hydra shok.
To make a long story short, the defense asked two questions on cross examination of the State Trooper. He asked the following two questions to the trooper
Defense Attorney: "Trooper, What kind of ammunition does your department ISSUE you to carry in your DUTY weapon?
Trooper: The Federal Hydra Shok
Defense Attorney: "Trooper would you say that the Maryland State police issued you that particular type of ammunition because they want to maliciously kill another?"
Trooper: "No Sir"
Prosecuter: "Your Honor, at this time the state would ask the court to dismiss the charges brought against the Defendant."
I Highly recommend that you find out from a state patrolman, or state trooper in your state what brand and model ammunition they are issued to carry in their weapons ( it is public information, you can approach them and ask them what they carry and they cannot withhold that information.) and carry the same thing.
In ohio where I live, The state police carry the Winchester SXT (The old Black Talon) and thats what i carry in my concealed carry rigs.
