Re: Black Talons
God, I want some of those...
However...
OK, bear with me... not trying to introduce demographic into the situation, just trying to be as honest as possible in the way I think about all this.
Being
young, and black (although the same would apply if I were white)... even though I hold a CPL... if I ever have to shoot someone in self-defense, I'm already going to have enough to deal with legally as it is... it's bad enough using modern JHPs, and I've heard of at least one jury convicting a man
solely because he used them to defend himself. The last thing I think I would want to hear during questioning (or trial) would be,
"Well what the hell are you doing with these armor piercing, teflon coated, cop-killer razorwire-bullets??? After all, they were
banned more than 10 years ago, right!?!?!"
Granted, that's all pretty false and extravagent... but you know how folks can be. Big no-no for SD IMHO. I might use them for hunting though, or defense against animals if I were worried about that sort of thing. If I did acquire some, I'd hold on to at least one unopened box, but I'd HAVE to shoot some of them off. I never was much of a collector, though. Something about buying something cool, and then letting it sit there forever untouched... that just never registered too well with me.
I would imagine they are quite wonderful for scaring liberals though. The reaction they got from the media almost makes me wonder if they weren't solely designed for that purpose.
