Re-Load Sale from an Estate

[New Camper]

Here's the regulation and it is quite specific.


35. Any person may, in respect of safety cartridges, load at a place other than a licensed factory if
(a) the loaded safety cartridges are not for sale or for any commercial, industrial or business use;

I am not sure how a judge would interpret that, but (and I don't know what is meant by "safety cartridges" in that act) the rounds were never loaded with the intent of being used for sale, OR for any commercial, industrial or business use. So while this quote and that posted on page one of this thread would suggest my first thought is wrong, on the selling of the reloads I'd reaffirm what Ganderite suggested and to avoid having to rely on the interpretation of a judge, I'm inclined to back peddle and side with other posters that enjoying your fathers things yourself might be the most prudent and least wasteful course. Incidentally I have seen reloads for sale so apparently if it is illegal to sell even those rounds never intended for commercial interests, quite a few people are oblivious to this or simply presume that government is reasonable. While the only problem I have with purchasing reloads is I don't know what's in them... but from a trusted source have few reservations. Otherwise, caveat emptor should be the only rule.(as with more things to curb the growing nanny state.) The only thing worse than having to be diligent and responsible in what you buy and sell, is having some bureaucratic know nothing telling you that you can't do either.

308BAR - I did mention your concern in my first paragraph.

Far as I know, there are no laws prohibiting the sale of reloads despite the obvious fact surrounding the questionable charges contained therein, it is caveat emptor.

Sorry, I am sometimes a bit ambiguous.

You missed the OR.

This is how I read it:

This is a law that basically says we can load ammo for our own use. It says we cannot load ammo that is for sale or other commercial use.

The gentleman who made the ammo complied with the law. He made it for his own use. Now he does not need it. Since it was made for his own use, and not made to sell, it can now be sold.

The law refers to the person making the ammo. Nowhere does it say that a subsequent owner cannot sell the ammo.

Have bought at auction reloads sold as components only heavily stressed brass and bullets components only

auction house sells lots of misc ammo, reloads or suspected reloads are sold as 'for components only' factory is sold as factory ammo.

Confused yet Mr. Lee ??

 

[hoochie]

maybe to simplify it... reloaded ammunition can only be sold by a person/ business whatever.. that has a license. once the components are assembled, this makes it an explosive. There are all sorts of rules, regulations, licensing and liability issues.
