I can give you the link any more it is long gone from my list. The courts have made the decisions on this.

They have ruled you are responsible for that damage if you are not using store bought shells that are labeld 'for personal protection' They can not be reloads.
Should be able to look it up on the net.
Holy crap. So I have a load (I should say, "
loads of a load"...I have 1000 of them) from Georgia Arms that is a +P load with the Speer Gold Dot bullet (40S&W). I believe it is 1300 FPS...I'll have to check. Anyway, since these are not packaged as "personal protection" or whatever, I could be liable in some way for using them if needed? Or if I roll my own (I am getting reloading stuff for Christmas) self defense rounds, same thing?
Now, is this only in the case of collateral damage, i.e. a 3rd party gets hurt or their property gets damaged? So, if the same happens using a "pre-packaged personal protection load", I am
not liable? What if I use my own load on an assailant and he dies? I am liable for his death because my own load was "more lethal" and a prepackaged PP load
probably would not have (ha, ha) killed him?
What the frunk???
Sorry, I did not mean to hijack the thread. But I already typed all that and I ain't deleting it.
