[QUOTE="DRC458, post: 2825335, member: 530"] I think you just answered your own question. Many hollow points are 'FMJ' but they are legal by definition. I think the good Captain, who is the Operations Manager in the LE division, knows of which he speaks. I've discussed the use of FMJ with more than just him within the department, and all have basically the same response. They do not want to say specifically that FMJ is, or is not, legal for furbearers; but they 'discourage' their use at all in any hunting application. For deer, the Captain said, "soft-nosed or hollow-point bullet," just like the regs say. I won't even get into the ricochet potential because we all know that you can make just about any projectile 'ricochet.' If that's the argument they want to make, that's their business. Nobody can decipher the commission's reasoning with certainty. [/QUOTE]
