HP's are more effective at stopping a perp when you defend yourself. It also has less chance of going through sheet rock and hitting an innocent bystander. As for the prosecutor? What's that saying? "I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6..."
When I applied for my FPID, I asked a local desk policeman about the transport of HP's. He responded flatly, "They are illegal in NJ." Hmm....I guess every gun store I know of must not know this, since they ALL carry hollow points. After I got my FPID, I advised him that hollow point ammo is in fact legal, except when used in a crime. He shrugged. Even your local magistrate can't make sense of the convoluted firearm laws, you know there's a problem...
Here's another gem: Slingshots are illegal in NJ. Why? Because of a typo when firearm laws were written. There's something called a slugshot (not the ammo used in a shotgun) and the transcriber of the law mistook it for slingshot. But at least we won't have to pump our own gas...
