The reason that I get so annoyed with these "look bad in court" arguments is that I have seen them extended to levels of stupidity far beyond what Massad ever imagined when he first mentioned it almost 30 years ago in a completely different legal & firearm environment.
I've heard a number of silly variations on this, including one ninny on a mouthbreater forum claim that an extended magazine on a pump action shotgun could be construed as premeditated murder while another gunstore liability lawyer on another forum bragged that he kept his double barrelled home defense shotgun loaded with birdshot so it reflect better on him in court since it wouldn't look like he was trying to kill anyone as it would if he loaded it with buckshot.
Anyway . . .
Two issues with that:
1. It was gross negligence to break one of the Cardinal rules and point the gun at a nun (or anyone).
2. If that ever happened to anyone who told Priest or Nun jokes they would be toast. All the prosecution would have to do is trot out witness after witness onto the stand and have them repeat all of the religous jokes that the person told & it would look like deliberate Nunicide (Obviously I am just kiddding about the last part).
I understand that Sig is bringing out a Lady Gaga pattern AR.
