Yeah buddy but keep in mind I am not "technically" an officer. I am carrying concealed on my person with a valid CHL, but I am by no means a "certified LEO". Therefore the rules apply to me as though I were any other joe walking down the street with a CHL.
I dunno I have not LIKED the idea of glasers since the get go. The PROBLEM is that I don't have alot of choice, but it has been recommended to me to use a fragible bullet by the department heads for the very reason I stated. We actually have had a person in our area (not on campus) who shot a suspect charging him with a knife. The bullet penetrated the suspect and the rear window of a suburban (and lodged in the back seat). The VICTIM was charged with damaged to private property, reckless discharge of a firearm, and reckless endangerment. The judge in the cast threw out reckless endangerment because there was not anybody actually IN the suburban. He gave him deferred adjudacation on the reckless discharge because he WAS defending his life. The damaged to private property charge stood, and he was made to pay for the damage. (Personally I think the perp should have had to pay for it but bleh) The problem comes in that SINCE the damage to private property stood that means that in theory had the bullet hit somebody he could have been tried under the transfered intent laws. Thats what worries me is all the liberals out there in the courts. SOOOOO anybody know of another good non-handload frangible bullet solution or the like? Remember please no +P rounds. Wouldn't it be nice to just load the bugger up with 158 grain HPs and not have to worry about all this? GoodOlBoy
