[QUOTE="ratski, post: 939889, member: 936"] The problem, as I see it, is that in a situation where someone uses a C3 in a self defense/home defense role, is similar to using "exploding bullets" or reloads for self defense. Most of "us" aren't going to be on the jury. Some prosecuter will sit there and paint the user as a premeditated killer because they used one of these "restricted" or "military-like" weapons instead of the casual everyday, run of the mill, firearm. They will try to find a way to paint the user as baiting someone into their house for the sole purpose of using their C3 "man killing" firearm. Not to mention the fact that the user will be convicted by the media even before getting to court and as such will have an even bigger legal bill trying to clear his/her name. I know it shouldn't matter, but I think it might. If I have a choice, my weapon of self defense/home defense will be plain jane, "street legal" factory. Same goes for the ammunition. Factory loads, easily available. Preferably what is issues or recommended by at least one of the local law enforcement agencies. I am a NFA stamp collector and while I wouldn't hesitate to carry and use something like my Uzi in a desperate situation, I sure wouldn't want to. SHTF, TEOTWAWKI, post-Katrina scenario? Yes One guy breaking into the house? I'd be reaching for the Glock. Dave [/QUOTE]
