re: #714 jcm

There is was a case in CA, (I’d have to dig it out) where a guy was convicted of manslaughter in a self defense shooting because he used SJHP (semi-jacketed hollow point).

The prosecutor’s case was the use of SJHP proved he intended to kill and not wound. The jury bought it, and the defense to incompetent to articulate the entire point of stopping the threat, and minimizing the hazard to people and property behind the threat.

I thought I heard about something like that. Disgraceful.

Currently, my home defense .45acp load is a mix of Federal HST 230gr JHP, and Glaser “Pow-R-Ball”. I guess I should swap those out for tiny little marshmallows, or something.
