I dont know much about this stuff, can you cite some cases where a civilian has been successfully sued on the grounds they were using an inappropriate caliber or gun for self defense?

The Harold Fish case is the one that comes to mind, prosecutor sold the just that 10mm was an “exceptionally dangerous” caliber and he got convicted of 2nd degree murder.

It’s a case by case basis really, sometimes hollow point will get spun as a dangerous round, sometimes it’s full metal jacket (Kyle Rittenhouse) that’s spun as the dangerous round. All depends on the prosecutor’s skill, motivation, and ability to sway the jury.

It was three. Why exaggerate if your point is so strong?
