We do live in a society where a women gets $200,000 from McDonald's after she spills hot coffee in her lap. Stupid people means stupid jurys so we are all at risk. I won't worry about it and load my own SD ammo. If I ever have to defend myself in civil court, so be it.

Lawyer story: My wife was in a VERY minor traffic accident. Total damage to both vehicles was under $700. As my wife was entering an intersection, the car in front stopped suddenly. My wife was checking for cross traffic and bumped it from the rear. No citations were issued and there was a police car right behind my wife at the time. The LEO even asked the other women why she stopped. I think it was a set up. We are sued and our cell phone records are subpoenaed. The other lawyer tries to make an issue out of the fact that my wife made a call "about" the time of the accident. The only call on the records was to me about 10 min later to tell me what happened. The idiot lawyer also tried to serve my wife at the plaintiffs address in San Antonio. We live at Canyon Lake, my wife works in New Braunfels. At our insurance company's request, we had to contact the server and tell them where to find her. Our insurance company ended up settling for some measly amount. Dang ambulance chasers!

Interesting thought and I will consider it.

If someone breaks into my house I can legally:
1)Hit him with a stick
2)Shoot him with my:
22
.22 mag
9mm
.45
AR15
.270
or 12 gauge

I would grab the shotgun every time because it is the most effective way to stop the threat. Will I be sued for choosing the shotgun over the stick? I can be sued for anything but would expect it to be a pretty short process. I don't see how my ammo preference would make much difference.

I have read the same controversy and had the same questions. I decided that if I needed my weapon and it was a good shoot, I would be fine. If I can legally use my firearm, I am pretty sure I can legally use any projectile it is designed to fire.

I haven't loaded any SD ammo yet but intend to do so. My one concession to the lawyer types is I will get a chrony and document my loads. No +P+ loads for me. My only intention is to develope an accurate SD load and shoot it a lot. My experience in loading target ammo is I can produce more accurate ammo than factory until you get to the top tier ($$$$) ammo. Why wouldn't I want to carry the best SD ammo I can.
