I've done plenty of my own reloading and rarely had any issues other than some loads feeling a lot weaker or more powerful than others in the same batch. But then I was usually drinking while making the ammo
. Still, for legal reasons, I like to carry whatever the local cops carry. It'd be hard for a DA to make a stink about the ammo if it's good enough for the cops.
The Harold Fish case, FWIW, was tried in Coconino County, which is pretty liberal, he had a very bad lawyer and the DA was able to find
the 12 most gun-ignorant jurors in AZ. Fish had a great gun and it saved his life. But he spent most of the rest of his life in prison before he was freed due to a change in state law specifically because of his case. No thanks. I think he passed away last year.
