Default RE: Handgun stopping power

Briman do you honestly believe that? You should check around on some actual cases taken too court and see just what kind of crap cheesy lawyers will pull out of their butts just to try and get a jury on their side. If ammo didn't matter why did the whole "Black Talon" and "Cop killer" episodes happen in the first place? The cases I have looked into where someone actually used deadly force (by lawful conceal carriers defending themselves from thugs) has overwhelmingly resulted in some courtcase of somesort. The cost too the person defending their own life is typically at a MINIMUM of $10k, with many costing over twice that if the thugs family wishes to sue for rights violations. PC and weak DAs are the culprit here. This crap shouldn't even make it to trial, but that doesn't make .02c difference in todays world. Bottom line, you drawdown on someone and cut loose a round you ARE going to court if you live in most cities with a population over 50k. If you shoot someone of another race, then BANK ON IT and plan on spending a night or two in jail... and all in the name of "self defense".

Sadly in todays courtroom, logic is left in the parking lot. Whether it's boosheut or not, lawyers are gonna throw any bait they think they can catch a fish with!
