LOL, OK, contact Federal and let them know. Seems as if those silly people aren't making a distinction between Criminals shot by LE and those necessarily shot by citizens defending their lives. Obviously there are two different species of feral man---each requiring different ballistic standards. How could they not see that?
Then why is Federal selling so many #4 Buckshot loads? Your argument here makes no sense at all.

I am not talking about differences existing in the TARGET. I am talking about differences in the SHOOTING SCENARIOS. Law Enforcement needs ammo with greater penetration because they often face situations that can benefit from having it.

Civilians don't go around chasing criminals and shooting them inside cars, for example. Nor do civilians go up against criminals that have barricaded themselves. Nor do civilians shoot at fleeing felons who may be quartering away from them, and thus need greater penetration to reach vital organs.

Civilians are typically going to be shooting at short ranges, at someone that is in the act of immediately threatening them. If you go around and shoot people fleeing from you on foot, fleeing in an automobile, or concealed behind a barrier, you are most likely going to jail.

You simply don't have the same rights and authority that members of Law Enforcement have. Your legal right to shoot is severely restricted by state law.

Sure, 00 Buckshot will be able to go through Auto Safety Glass and still be able to penetrate well. But if a civilian shot someone in such a scenario, they would be arrested for being a vigilante.
