I'm not sure all the different kinds of ammo there is out there, I am only familiar wit FMJ and hollow points. But which kinds are legal for self defense? I've read places where hollow points are against the law to even have, yet I live in Nevada and one of the CCW course instructors at a local gun shop says they are mandatory to us in self defense. I'll be taking my CCW course ere in about 2 and a half hours but what do other regions say? Is there a federal law mandating only a certain kind of ammo be use in self defense? Or is that determined at the discretion of the state?
