For those who are criticizing me for saying me for saying that since I live in a more "civilized" State than many, I don't fear standing before a jury of my peers in a "good" self defense case. Yes there are always going to be insane Judges, Prosecutors, and other Left-wing scuz balls, and yes, Kansas has elected more than a few such. But we do have a jury system, and Kansans do believe in the right of self-defense. I would much rather be judged by twelve, than be carried by six, especially in Kansas.
To refuse to use your right of self defense "
in extremis" for fear of prosecution, simply defeats the whole purpose of self defense, and is likely to lead to a very bad result.
I do realize that many on this site do not believe in the use of a gun for self defense, and are very quick to criticize any who do, or would do so. It is a free country, so be it.
I am not inclined to worry about what anti-gun whack jobs say about a type of ammo, after all, said whack jobs also oppose "hollow point" bullets. If you have any doubt about that, read the anti-gun whack jobs' propaganda.
I am not defending the efficiency of the RIP ammo, I said I would wait for ballistic reports by people I judge to be fair and impartial.
If it works, one would be a fool to not use it. I seem to remember at one time, hollow point bullets were more than somewhat controversial, with all the chest pumping and moral posturing that went with it.
People have brought up the "Black Talon" and rightly point out it is still in production, up graded and improved under a different name, and is often used by Law enforcement.
