Your police officer friend is correct. When it comes down to shootings they will use everything they can against you in court. And that would show that you had no respect for safety items and they would use that to say you are careless. I know it is a bunch bull. but you don't want to give them anything if you can help it. That is also why you should NEVER USE RELOADS FOR DEFENSE.
