Comments on: the apparent evil of choice… again? http://www.wallsofthecity.net/2009/06/the_apparent_evil_of_choice_again.html defending our rights from the ramparts Mon, 15 Mar 2010 19:40:51 -0400 hourly 1 By: Linoge http://www.wallsofthecity.net/2009/06/the_apparent_evil_of_choice_again.html/comment-page-1#comment-2614 Linoge Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:42:23 +0000 http://www.wallsofthecity.net/?p=1634#comment-2614 I think you are misunderstanding my stance, Michael. My home-defense shotgun is heavily modified - some would seem to argue it is "excessively" modified, and that it runs worse because of it (for some reason). My carry Walther is not (yet) modified, but that is simply because there are no useful modifications out for the firearm yet, nor have I seen fit to use one. That said, I use bullets that are descendants of the infamous "Black Talon" rounds, and should the question ever come up, I am sure that will be an interesting conversation. If I ever secure myself something that can mount one, it will immediately have a Crimson Trace laser on it, and I will carry it that way. If that modification causes me trouble in a trial... honestly, oh well. My job is keeping me and mine alive - if that means being judged by 12, so be it.

I only modify guns that don't get carried for self defense. Otherwise,if carried, they remain factory,and make a point to carry ammo that LEO use as well. No handloads or hot loads,that will surely get you into trouble with a jury. I am with you on this one. I only modify guns that don’t get carried for self defense.
