[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2472985, member: 30902"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://aliengearholsters.com/blog/handloads-self-defense/[/URL] You open yourself up to additional liability you would not otherwise have at least to the extent of the decision to charge/not to charge or to elevate a charge from manslaughter to first degree murder. The logic is that you intended not just to stop the threat but used especially deadly ammo which you had personally loaded indicating prior planning and malice. I know of at least one officer who in the seventies carried handloads for his .357 because he did not like the department issued ammo. He was in a shootout and one round over penetrated the subject, passed through a wall and injured an innocent woman inside the house next door. He was found guilty of aggravated assault with a firearm and served at least 12 years in the NM State Penn. There's no telling how many successful self defense shootings involved handloads which never made a difference but with an ever growing number of leftwing anti gun DA's looking to make a name for themselves as well as liability lawyers looking to make a quick buck at your expense it's just not worth it. Why take a risk on losing everything you have and going to prison over what would otherwise be a perfectly legitimate act of self defense? [/QUOTE]
