If you built the car from parts, yes.
If you rebuilt the saw, yes.
Anything modified from the factory leaves the seller potentially liable Life is risk.

Disagree. In today's litigious society any object that you owned, even after it leaves your possession, responsibility stays with you (using the coffee example, the person bought a cup of coffee and took it into her possession. It belonged to her, it was with her in her car, the restaurant transferred ownership to her, but when she spilled it on herself, the restaurant was responsible)...

Actually, you just agreed with me. o_O

But, that's okay. You can disagree if you want. Makes no mind to me. I don't care what other folks find unacceptable or too risky, I just do me and don't worry about it. :)

If I cared what other people think I wouldn't have done half the stuff I've done in my life - and most of it was too fun to have skipped! :thumbup:

...the rest kind of hurt and left marks. :(

Have fun. Be well. Do you the best you can. :)

Absolutely not. Every bullet that originates from the OP into the hands of .. anybody, carries with it the potential for liability regardless if it's gifted or sold. Nobody shoots my reloads except immediate family.
 
There are three pages, 58 posts and you can see a consensus ain't gonna happen. There's a lot of "...only if" answers concerning friends, relatives, and selling or gifting. Personally, I shoot my own handloads. I am a solo shooter and don't go for a group of people with guns that I don't know and in 50 years of shooting I've seen too many close calls and just plain morons (not a LEO, and never in combat, but I know what a bullet whizzing by sounds like!), I don't put much stock into any legal opinions set forth by a number of folks not involved in civil law, and for me it's all a non issue.

I believe this, but for many things the amount of time since it left your possession is a factor. If the lady didn't spill her coffee until after she got home and reheated it in the microwave, it's no longer on McD's. Used cars, appliances etc are similar. Even brand new factory ammo would have a finite time in which the mfg could be held liable.

I would niether sell my reloads nor shoot someone else's. If a person doesn't understand why, I can't really help them.
 
I've had friends ask me to make them ammo too. I declined, simply for the reason that if I ever did miss a step with a load. I don't want that on my hands.

However, I have invited them over to pull the handle themselves and make their own any time they want. Odd thing though. Occasionally they just forget some of their gear and leave things behind at my house, like a new bottle of whiskey or the odd Benjamin or Jackson. Sheesh. with friends that forgetful I'm kinda glad they aren't loading anything I made.
 
I don’t agree.

If the question is selling your reloads if you’re not a type six or type 7FFL holder a bad idea then answer is yes.

I am in fact awaiting approval on a type 07FFL To manufacture both ammunition and firearms. You are certainly free to disagree with my ideas, but blanket statements such as “that’s a bad idea “ “ you will lose everything “ Are just childish and ridiculous.

I was in the bar business for 25 years, I owned a defense contractor for eight years, that was a prime manufacturing contractor for number of missile programs. I own a rental real estate, everything involves risk. It is up to the risk taker to decide if the reward is worth the risk.

I have my own reasons for entering into manufacturing including profit. If you treat it like a business then there are various ways to mitigate risk, Including ownership structure of your manufacturing entity as well as insurance. Obviously if you’re making a couple of hundred rounds a month your expenses will overwhelm you, making 100,000 rounds a month and you may fare better.

Don’t agree? That’s why they make horse races.[/QUOTE]

Move on? No, sorry... just don't follow blindly people who have no experience?

What year did you get your FFL? Have you manufactured ammo? Or are you just repeating what the old woman down the lane said?

@Walkalong got it, off topic, feel free to lock it.

I took offense? Not quite.

The real deal? Because I’m not afraid to take a risk?

Leave the thread open, please tell me what “the real deal is”
