- Besides using factory ammo, you should take the brand into

- so give him in painting a picture of a reckless or bloodthirsty defendant.
- If you know of a police department that issues ammo you like, choose

- Only if you are a criminal do you need to avoid a tie to your
- actions. Seeking to flee the scene, cover up anything, hide evidence
- or change anything is the best gift you could give to a prosecutor,
- and the worst diservice you could do to yourself unless you look
- forward to a criminal record, prison time, and a loss of your RKBA.

- In a murder trial, "flight = guilt", as does disturbing evidence
- or otherwise showing a pattern of criminality.

- Yeah, your dad doesn't sound like an attorney. You should consult
- an attorney if you want real suggestions.
