[QUOTE="Owasso, post: 2663610, member: 33632"] I don't really care if someone modifies their weapon or not. As they say to each his own... I simply thought both articles were informative and possibly helpful, if a guy needs to justify his actions some day. With respect to actual cases Ayoob discuss a lot of cases in the totality of his writings, but I can not think any specific cases where trigger modification was the deciding factor. Someone else may know of specific cases. If so please share them. I personally want to get as much factual information as possible so that I am better informed. It most cases it is simply one of many factors the DA uses to allege that the shooter wanted to kill someone, they were untrained, walking around with chip on their shoulder, looking to prove what a great weekend warrior they are... etc.. Even in the cases where it was ultimately decided the police officer or individual was justified, the family ended up in financial ruin by the time the case was over. Now, I do remember a case involving police officer on trial for shooting a punk in a Miami Arcade. Ayoob was the expert witness. I think the officer got off, but by the time the trial was over he was in financial ruin. According to Ayoob in that case the modifications the officer made to his weapon were used against him by the DA. I think it is referred to in Ayoob's writings as the "Miami Arcade Shooting." I gave my copy of the Ayoob files to a family member, but I am fairly certain that is were where I read the case. Again there is no reason for anyone to get offended. I appreciate reading all the responses. Many good points have been made. I would love hear the opinions of law enforcement professionals retired or active that are forum members. [/QUOTE]
