This threads intended purpose is to explore whether or not there is any history of cases that show prejudice towards particular ammunition in self defense situations. Or, if anyone knows current statutes (if there are any) on such situations.
I know there are several lawyers on here so without sounding like a cheapskate I wonder if one or more might chime in. My particular curiosity is FMJ's versus HPJ's. I have heard that since FMJ's tend to not do as much damage as "defense" rounds that it could make a difference in a courtroom. I have heard that with a lot of modern JHP's prosecutors have shown or claimed 'premeditated intent' by carrying such rounds.
Any informative input would be appreciated.
Mods, if this doesn't fit the "legal" criteria feel free to close or delete this. Just trying to get a worthwhile discussion going that I am personally unfamiliar with....
