Ben, I understand where you are coming from but...
If Joe the local Meth Tweaker is in my home at 3AM, armed, and intends to do me harm, what does the nastiness of the wound have to do with the price of tea in China? Joe has a large name file in Spillman, a long history of criminal activity, and I do not. He's got no right to be there, and furthermore is threatening me with immediate, otherwise unavoidable threat of death or serious bodily injury. Otherwise I wouldn't be shooting him, even with a cap gun.
Joe could have avoided that nasty wound if he wanted to. He could have got a job as a Wal-Mart greeter.![]()
I've heard good things about the 12ga round that you have mentioned, but it seems to me that if I popped an armed intruder in the head with that round that's going to leave a pretty nasty looking wound too.
What about the use of "LE" rounds like Ranger and the Federal load you mentioned? Isn't that going to create a potential 'perception' problem as well?
I think its good that we have discussions like this, so people can make informed decisions and I appreciate your input.
ETA: is this the Federal offering you are talking about? http://www.le.atk.com/general/federa...lbuckshot.aspx The 8 pellet?
