Something to ponder for you Zombie Hunters

re: armchair commando
someone who discusses firearms, military weaponry, or military tactics while having no personal experience of their own. typically has done research and possibly has a variety of numbers and figures... but again, no experience.... coupled with an ego or similar douchebaggery.
many are borne out of the gaming generation, thinking that their 'realistic' video games closely mimic reality.

There are plenty of varieties of these types of people regarding different topics (cars and sports come to mind)... you've undoubtedly met similar people at bars concerning a different topic, etc.

They also wear ballcaps or t-shirts with a Trident or "Delta Force" printed on them.

I dont think the risk of owning zombie ammo is any greater than the risk of owning military style weapons, full capacity mags, or stockpiling ammo. It all seems like it would be used against you in court.

I have enjoyed seeing the dialogue on this topic. Marty replied to my inquiry about "human/humanoid" targets...and I quote "As long as you are participating in training which is simliar to police training, you should be good to go. For what it is worth, at my school, Firearms Academy of Seattle, we use them a lot."
The take home lesson of this topic I feel is that we civilians (or even LEOs) need to keep in mind the potential for any area of our lives to be brought into play if involved in a self-defense shooting. In short, everything will likely but put under the microscope whether in our OPINION it may or may not be a "big deal". Always, always, always keep in mind who the triers of the facts will be....a jury of your "peers" (of which you may get to testify) or a Grand Jury (in which typically testimony not allowed on your behalf). CYA..."Can you articulate" is a term Ayoob presents. Be able to give a logical reason for what you do, did, or would do.

I'm thinking that between:

and

...any particular prosecutor is going to have a hard time convincing a jury that the zombie target is good evidence that you were just itching to shoot a homeless guy, particularly if the OTHER target is a standard practice target.
Which it is.

Always a good thing to bear in mind.
That being said, while it might be a good idea to assume that the jury is composed of morons and the prosecuting attorney is a completely convincing genius, nonetheless I think that the idea that zombie targets in your house spells issues in court is still ridiculous. :)
