Able to be sued for use of hollow point?

[HB DeLaRue]

Quite possibly true however,

if you use you gun your life is going change you will get sued from the one you shoot or the familey

There is no doubt that using your firearm to defend yourself that results in the loss of a life, will dramatically change your life, depending on the laws of your state, you may be protected from being sued. That's why it is imperative that States that don't have "Stand your ground laws" that protect the shooter instead of the criminal, be changed. Also, regardless of how the laws are written, or what type of ammo you use, you should expect and plan on being arrested until law enforcement completes the investigation.

Argued humbly, the use of hollow points rather than FMJ ammunition may be shown to be the responsible and even caring choice. HP are designed not only to create a good-sized wound channel, but also to prevent over-penetration through controlled expansion, thus (ideally) connecting only with the BG who was seeking to harm you or someone else. Maybe you could even educate the judge with the truth that this is the very reason why the bailiff in the courtroom is carrying them during your trial!

Not always true. My state's self defense statutes specifically protect you from criminal or civil liability if you are justified in the shooting(i.e. it was self defense). You can't even be arrested for suspicion unless the officer can provide convincing proof(i.e. witnesses) on scene that it wasn't self defense. They can't even suspect you were doing anything other than self defense if it happens in your home or car.

Criminals have many reasons to be afraid in Kentucky.

I know that Kentucky does not penalize the use of hollow points unless they are used in a crime.

Same thing here in Kansas, If it's justified nobody can sue/prosecute you
