LEGAL CAUTION: Whenever you use a modified weapon or unusual ammunition you will be subject to the bad guys lawyer trying to prove malicious intent even in self defense.

Case you site a case where a guy was found guilty on a legit shooting based off of this? Ayoob likes to talk about this a lot but I have never actually heard of a case where it influenced the jury.

I think the question is mostly not one of guilt in the criminal trial, but rather of the level of damages you might get stuck with when the goblin, or his survivors, sue you in civil court.

After all, John Edwards will be needing work and ambulences to chase.

No, he can't. No one ever can. About 2 or 3 years ago I issued a challenge on my site and on many major gun boards: Find me one case where a person in a self defense situation was sued or prosecuted more than they would have been because they used custom ammo (handloads, specialty rounds) or a 'intimidating' type weapon.

For all the blustering the people who repeated this myth before, they were strangely silent when it came to coming out with actual examples. In all the time I had the challenge out there, NOT ONE PERSON was able to cite an actual case.

Don't worry about it. The claims are basically BS by people who feel the need to expound on something.
