I hear this all of the time while teaching. There are urban myths that you should use perceived less lethal ammo, that you should never score a perfect score when testing, that you should not carry less lethal means of defense on your person while carry a firearm, etc.

Its all bunk. Regarding ammo choices, what I would worry about is overpenetration and striking an innocent, not "over-killing" the badguy.

Recording testing scores, all that is reported to the state, and the only records we keep, is whether you pass or fail anyway. I train to win, period.

I always carry a less-lethal means of defense, usually OC. There could easily be a time where using OC early in an encounter could keep it from esclating to a point where DF is necessary. No DF, no Grand Jury. ;)
