GOB,

I hear what you say about handloads and I understand what you say. I have been involved with a few justifiable shootings in the past and the only issue was: Was deadly force necessary?" HOW the force was applied was moot.

In a nearby case a homeowner used an aluminum baseball bat to whack an armed midnight home invader and the bad guy died. NO criminal charges were lodged against the homeowner/victim. At civil court in the wrongful death suit the BG's family attorney said the homeowner "should have used a wooden baseball bat." The case was tossed out because the Question was the "Standing and Reasonableness of the use of deadly force."

In my home, use of reloads is protected by my state Castile Doctrine. IF a homeowner is prosecuted for midnight home defense with handloads, I would encourage all homeowners to SSS: Shoot, Shovel and Shut-up and wait for the next mope. Just saying... One more thing: Using Factory Ammo will NOT make a "Bad" shooting "Good." The legal test is: "Was deadly force necessary?" How the force is applied is up to the victim to determine.

Adam

That "don't use handloads for personal defense" thing has been around for 30 years or more.
I don't know that it has ever been used in court.

Boar Load Update:

Yesterday morning a large raccoon, with a bad attitude, came into my front yard and was not impressed when I yelled at him from the front door. I got the nearby 12 gauge pump, inserted 2 Boar loads and stepped onto the porch. Two shots later, with the coon at 20 yards away, the issue became moot. The coon raced East and is probably now in the next township which means I do not have to dig a hole to bury same.

Country Matters....
