While I know MA is an expert witness and considered one of the top authorities on defense shootings, I take his and other's like him with a little grain of salt in their writings. While I believe they don't tell falsehoods in their stories, just like all writers, you have to keep your target audience engaged, and in doing so you will slant your writings to favor your view and to pass along your agenda. It's called the 'hook' and all good writers do it. So, while I read and follow his info, I always look at them and try to play devils advocate in my own mind to see if there is another angle.VMI77 wrote:While I agree that you should use JHP ammo, I think MA also has some stories where DA's claimed the GG loaded his gun with evil hollow points solely to kill, so if you get a corrupt DA you're going to have problems even if you do everything right.
As for DA's or Defense Attorney's, they will use every angle they can to try and win their case and portray the shooter in a bad light to a liberal judge or jury in hopes to sway them into believing the person was out to kill someone, not defending themselves. That includes referring to hollow-points as evil, AK's and AR's as Evil Black Rifles, etc.
