Ok, I gotta ask, since I see come up pretty often. Where is there any documentation that using ammo that the local police department uses help with the jury, or is this one of those gun blog myths that has developed a life of its own.

Could not the prosecutor just as easily paint you as a cop wanna be buy carrying the stuff the local PD carries along with your gun and CHL license? They could say, he this guy is a vigilante citizen as easily as they could paint you as a nut job by loading your own super duper home made load?
