Ammo problem

[Krogen]

You sound like a kind soul, austintexas. We all value friends and relatives we can count on in a bind. Likewise, they can count on us in return. It sounds like your friends and relatives are mooches. Just tell them no. Plain and simple, tell them you're not willing to take on the risk and liability. With a little effort, they can find ammo to buy. They may not like the prices, but "them's the breaks." It sure seems like they're trying to take advantage of your good nature. Don't let 'em. Make 'em stand on their own hind legs. Point 'em at ammoseek.

"I'm sorry but it's against Federal Laws for me to sell or even give away reloaded ammunition to others"

Is this true? My brother in law used to give me re-loads all the time and while he did not hunt and actually didn't spend much time at the range, he LOVED to re-load .... So much in fact, that he built a separate building to work in.

Reloading and Selling ammo to the public without the proper mfg. license probably is but giving immediate family members your reloads isn't ...at least it wasn't in Louisiana ... things may have changed , so check local regulations .

Most people are ignorant of the Federal Firearms Laws ... I have used the ...that's not allowed by Code and they have no idea what the codes are and where to find them... it sometimes takes hours to sift through all the codes and regulations and then it's how some official decides how to "interpret " what is written...getting an answer on something can be very frustrating sometimes .

Laws concerning the manufacture and/or distribution of ammunition is one thing, but how many fudge on their taxes, how many routinely drive 10 mph over the limit? If one were to set up a website or sell ammo openly like at a gun show, that is a reason to be careful and stay legal. I seriously doubt if the "against the law" has much if anything to do with giving friends or relatives ammo. Besides I haven seen a "Reloading Enforcement Officer" in quite a while (ever!)...

I don't give away or sell ammo regardless of factory or reloads . I do on very rare occasion load a box or two of .38 S&W target loads for my brother in law. He buys the primers , I make the bullets and a pound of powder for him is a lifetime supply . My sons buy or load their own .

Reminds me of the "gas pump police". In Oregon it is not legal to pump your own gas or to "top off/round up the amount pumped". At some places you get yelled at for even touching a pump. Some places refuse to round up even 3 cents to the even dollar. As soon as the pump clicks off they pull the nozzle. I always ask them if the "pump police" are hiding and about to run out of nowhere and write a ticket. I have been known to swipe my card a second time and ask them to fill it up. Often it will take another gallon before clicking off again and I just smile and shake my head knowing that I now have a full tank.

I have given away factory 12 gauge shells and 22LR ammo but anything I reload is for my use. I may invite friends and relatives to help shoot it but I will not give it away.

I used to load with my brother-in-law but my sister has gone a bit crazy and I am not welcome there anymore. No loss.
