Dear Amy: This week, I discovered that my intelligent, hard-working, responsible 24-year-old daughter (who lives with me) is a gun owner! And it’s not a normal gun, either — it is a 40-caliber semi-automatic, and she has hollow-point bullets to go with it.
...
Dear Dumbfounded: According to my research, possessing hollow-point bullets is illegal in 11 states; is it legal in your state to own this sort of exploding ammunition?
....

Dear, Holy ****!!!!
That's not advice. It's catering to every fear the gun grabbers have. It's willful ignorance or, worse, intentional dishonesty.

certainly the father, as the home owner, is justified in denying such a weapon to be resident in his house
but is that a very wise choice
his daughter may have to move to a much less safe community, where her need for the firearm might be greater than where her dad lives
it would seem that a more centrist approach would be to assure that both he and his daughter are trained to shoot this weapon and that it is properly secured at all times, where he and his daughter have access to it if needed
if the present ammunition is legal in his state, then why not keep it for use against a threat. if it is not legal in their state, then substitute something lethal that is
that way, he preserves his peace of mind and his daughter's safety
Something tells me that if this man who does not consider a .40 caliber semiautomatic handgun with hollow point ammunition a "normal" gun, I am given to wonder how much he knows about firearms and what gun he would be comfortable with his daughter possessing in his home. If he does not want guns under his roof because they make him uncomfortable or he just does not like having such a dangerous tool on his premises, that is his right and I can certainly understand it. But he seems to be taking it a step further and is treating his daughter as though she is a murderer-in-waiting, ready to empty her pistol into him while he sleeps. I do not understand where this comes from. I think the biggest issue is that the parent-daughter relationship has broken down over this, and he now lives in fear of his daughter, and his daughter now realizes that her father fears her and does not trust her, for all the flowery language he uses when describing her. That is far sadder than the gun issue.

Yes he can kick her out.
Frankly he can kick her out for any reason
He certainly can. I'm sure, too, that some around here would applaud him for doing so.

'Full metal jacket'
Actually, that picture is of hollow points. Jacketed Hollow Points, to be more specific. Full Metal Jacket refers to "ball" ammunition (basically a lead, round nosed bullet) with a copper "jacket" covering it. The copper jacket, being harder than the lead, means the projectile is less likely to become deformed while loading or being chambered and tends to leave less "crud" in the barrel than an unjacketed round.
Both look pretty nasty compared to a round tip bullet. Both do a lot more damage.
Well Amy isn't to bright nor is the dad for that matter. If I were Holly I'd say get used to it,barring that move.Ask Amy: My daughter lives with me and owns a gun. Can I kick her out? | Relationships | omaha.com
