News: An interesting case


This guy has a 9mm bullet in his head. The police want it as evidence, but Joshua Bush's lawyers are fighting the search warrant, saying that to force a doctor to remove it would be a violation of the Fourth Amendment prohibition on "unreasonable searchs and seizures."

The problem, of course, is that the bullet has to come out eventually. And when it does, it's evidence.

The shooter in this case was a used car dealer who is a competitive shooter. Shot placement in here was good, but the slug did not have enough horsepower to breach the skull, a problem not unique to 9mm, of course - all the common handgun calibers are relatively poor in terms of penetration. Have no faith in your defensive caliber or gauge!
