Indeed, You want to use your god given right to kill that Bullet Proof intruder.

AP rounds intended for handguns are banned.

simple caliber/bullet designed for hand guns would not be able to have an armor piercing projectile by law now if youd use something that took a rifle round like a FNH USA assuming it takes the same 5.7 as a rilfe that is might be a different story

if you shoot to wound theres a chance you land up dead for showing mercy


your supposed to aim for center mass always

After some reading, its not very clear, I think the ATF interprets handgun ammo to be any ammo that a handgun has been manufactured for, even if it's not common in handguns.
Some AP rifle rounds are banned, some are not. It also depends on state laws for rifle ammo, they vary.
