[QUOTE="Repubiman, post: 2359636, member: 971"] Whoa Nellie... I never said I was going to reload something that was intentionally made to cause more damage/pain that commercial ammo! My gun shoots both .38 spec and/or .357 ammo. That would be like implying that I carry a 9mm gun and you carry a .45 so you intend to cause more pain and suffering from your round because it's more powerful and thereby you would be guilty of intent. First intent has to be proven and since we all choose different guns and different ammo for either target or carry rounds we could all be found guilty of intent if we didn't just carry with plinking rounds. It would also mean that the law enforcement ammo is used with intent since it's not of a lessor load than practice ammo or range ammo. As long as I reload according to what would be normal and expected to be a reasonable round, there is no intent there. Now I do get where you are coming from and I've heard the stories too. Maybe if in a rage against my girl friend messing around, I decided to go get revenge on her lover and unloaded my gun that had .38 special in it and loaded it with .357, then yes, they could possible prove intent. All I'm talking about is reloading my .357 rounds with .357 load data once I shoot them. And no, I don't plan on choosing a .38 Special round over a .357 round for [I]defensive[/I] purposes. It's all cool. [/QUOTE]
