If I can remember Jeff Cooper's exact words, it was something along these lines:
A clandestine government agency had come to him (Cooper) for advice on a small gun for their lady agents to carry; they were set on a Colt 25ACP. He tried desperately to try to talk them out of it, but they were adamant on their choice of handgun.
He finally gave up & said "If you insist on sending them out with that gun, make sure it's not loaded."
"For God's sake, why?" they asked.
He answered, "Because if they load it, they may fire it. If they fire it, they may hit someone. And if they hit someone, the person they hit is going to be very upset, and will likely come over & do your agent great bodily harm."

45 acp, 44 mag and 50 cal rounds are just restricted?
Huh?
Apparently countless lives will be saved by our government!
