I carry with my own loaded 45 GAP JHP Barnes Tac-X bullets, zero fucks given. The way I see it, if I ever have to use my gun in this god forsaken state I'm fucked anyway.

They'll probably scrutinize that my slide cover says Problem Solver, that I stippled it, and have different color hardware.

Both the libtards and anti 2A RINOs can get fucked.

Agree fully.
I get into a fight I'm coming out on top by any means necessary and could care less about what I use to make that happen.
I don't bet my life on ammo made by someone else.
I load all of my carry ammo using the best components on a single stage press and it works 100% of the time.
According to the lawyers, anyone who owns a gun, shoots or God forbid trains with a firearm to become more proficient are going to be screwed.

Participating member on this forum? How are they going to find out the real names of members here and their locations?

If they do a PC search, they will never find the traces (Vivaldi Browser)

If they search the phone, likewise, they will get nada as well (also Vivaldi)

If they do a subpoena against the webhost here for IP addresses being posted from, maybe, but good luck until you run into a VPN

What does being a member of this forum have anything to do with it? Are we charging people for thought crimes now or voicing your opinion? Freedoms granted by the 1st Amendment. As much as I dislike the ACLU because they are a bunch of liberal twats, I'm sure they'd even have issues with such violations.

Any opinions on loading and carrying your own self defense ammo?

I’m kinda curious of if this could be used against you legally if you had to use your firearm in a defensive situation.

I’ve only heard people talking about this. I have found NO case law. As with any defense shooting, the fight in the courts will be long no matter what.

The only time I carry handloads is while hunting. I'll either carry a 5" S&W .44 Mag with handloads or a Glock 23 with hot handloads, so a few days per year you could say I carry handloads. If I needed to use them to defend myself against a person, I wouldn't hesitate or worry about it. That said, I'm not carrying handloads in my EDC anytime soon because I like and trust my 9mm and .38 carry ammos well enough to not bother. Since I reload mostly cast, plated, or XTPs, most of the ammo I make would overpenetrate anyway, being made either to punch paper, game, or 4-legged predators.

What's one of the first things law enforcement or reporters do if someone's involved in any type of incident ?
Internet search.
Internet search history can be admitted as evidence in court, particularly if it's deemed relevant to the case.
Law enforcement can obtain this information through subpoenas directed at internet service providers or search engines.
Come on man !
