I guess I better not grab the shells that are filled with M&Ms and finishing nails by accident then.

your statement is true to a degree I think. I imagine that any hand loaded EXOTIC ammo would be hard to argue if you waste a guy with it.(flechettes, dimes, rock salt, marbles)etc. Buckshot is buckshot though, and I hunt with it all the time. I could also argue that the pistol rounds are reduced recoil so my kid can learn to shoot. And my buckshot rounds were reduced recoil for hunting. If it all comes down to it, It depends on who has the better lawyer. I hope I never need to find out.

In the meantime, I will hide all my 3 1/2 mag rounds filled with sharpened American dimes marked "anti-morale cartridges" and hope no one finds them.
