#Overpenetration

In almost any gun store or forum, you can find someone who can’t wait to give you unsolicited information. A lot of the “advice” that Over Eager Jerry likes to “share” with you is stuff that has been repeated ad nauseam in gun circles, but it isn’t always backed up by facts. For example, they might soberly warn you against choosing a modern sporting rifle, hand loads, NFA devices, or other scary things for defense because an “overzealous prosecutor” will get you locked up. I swear they read this shit from a script. It’s the sort of urban legend that sounds plausible on the surface so people just accept and repeat it without any sort of critical thinking. No one has ever been locked up for using a scary, but a legal gun.
