Question about ammo and apts...

Nolefan, try http://www.mossberg.com/pcatalog/Specpurp.htm and scroll down to the bottom. Mossberg makes a very cool "Home Security Special" in .410 bore. Relatively inexpensive as well.

Making no comment on the quality of the ammo, I would not use something called "Extreme Shock" ammunition. It seems to me a name like that could be an invitation to a murder indictment or at least a huge civil suit judgement if you were ever forced to defend yourself with a firearm.

"Your honor, Mr. Jones deliberately bought the most deadly, most damaging ammunition he could find planning in advance to kill, when he could have purchased far less dangerous bullets that would likely only caused minor wounds while still allowing him to defend himself."

I know, there are all kinds of holes in this argument, but would the judge and jury know?

The safest ammunition you can use from a legal standpoint is whatever ammo your local police department uses.

You know, I think people over-inflate the "scary ammo is BAD in court" thing, because I've never actually heard of it being an issue.

I dunno, experience in buying stuff tells me that the more loudly something is marketed (you'll notice that high-grade professional gear in just about anything has very low-key, matter-of-fact marketing), the less substance there is behind said marketing. Stuff like Monster Cable comes to mind.
