I live in rural Idaho. I've researched court cases in my state. I've "quized" county sheriffs and prosecutors throughout the State. This type of liability has never been raised... Doesn't mean it won't ever be, but as of now, there is no such liability in the State of Idaho.

I've had numerous discussions with Massad Ayoob about this subject, here at TFL (yes, he is a member). Now with almost 3 years of research, I'm comfortable with reloading my own personal defense ammunition. I'm comfortable with saying, that the liability issue, as it currently stands, is a regional issue. It still remains an issue; More populous States or States with more restrictive firearms laws or attitudes about personal firearms ownership, will certainly be different.

I would not recommend anyone else loading their own PDA, without doing their own research in their area.
