Can some one do this?

[Rob454]

Ok
If a person is suposed to be a legal business entity. Can they buy ammo from private party and then resell it as new ammo? i thought the vendor has to buy his ammo from a supplier. if he buys it from a private party it cannot be resold because you never know if it was tampered with or whatever? Can he legally sell used/previously purchased ammo by a person from a gunstore/sporting goods store as new ammo on his website or ads? Doesnt that make it a liability not only in safety but a legal liability?
I ran across something like this just recently
Thanx

I don't know the legality of it, but I know the gunshops cannot take back the ammo they sold.

you would need to investigate the regulations involved with getting a permit to sell ammunition. there should be a set of guidelines that need to be fulfilled in order to be in compliance with have a resale permit for ammunition.
time to dig into the doj website

The private party that manufactured the ammo could be in trouble. 18 USC 923 (a) requires that they be licensed by the feds:

(a) No person shall engage in the business of importing, manufacturing, or dealing in firearms, or importing or manufacturing ammunition, until he has filed an application with and received a license to do so from the Attorney General.

AFAIK, the business reselling the ammo is doing nothing legally wrong.

My friends dad brought him a box of ammo that was entirely comprised of reloads. Said he bought it in a gun shop on his way to town.
never thought anything of it

the private party in this case isn't making ammo. the question lies in whether a business can buy ammo from a private sale (ie like in classifieds we have here) then turn around and sell that same ammo as "new".

kinda like if a gun store bought ammo off a guy who bought ammo off wal-mart type thing.

Exactly what i meant to ask

[1norcalvarmintHunter]

That is illegal and you can contact ATF or doj.

I ran into a similair issue.

[roadwarrior1971]

I heard a local gun dealer was buying alot of the Mountain View Walmart ammo and reselling it.

[RideIcon]

I've seen locals shops do the same thing with walmart ammo

[Mark in Eureka]

We buy surplus ammo at gunshows all the time. If there is a crime it would be selling as new.

So which shop is this?

[Scratch705]

you can most likely blame 60%(if not higher) of all gun shops in CA of doing this when ammo was scarce.
