Federal and American Eagle 45 Auto ammo recall

[rebelcowboysnb]

I tried carrying a 9mm for a while.

Was at a local swimming hole hanging out with friends. Was sitting on my tailgate talking to a little girl about 7 years old when a pit bull jumped up an bit her in the face. I got her away from the dog an only got one round in the dog before it jammed. Nice clean gun that was well oiled an had good ammo. Have had no use for autos from then on.

Well everyone knows 9's are fun until someone loses an eye or gets hurt.
We were talking 45's.


Did it take more than 1 or did you bludgeon the dog with the gun?

It killed it but not right away an I needed that second shot but it ran. If it had kept trying to attack it would have been bad. 45 is to much gun for me to use as a full time carry gun.

It is a bit heavy I'll admit.
The only failures I've had were due to my being too lazy to clean after every other range trip or just loading ammo that the thing didn't like.
No problem today.

I haven't needed to bring it out. Just having it seems to make me steer clear of trouble areas.
Who in their right mind wants to shoot somebody?

The dog is the only time I have ever had to draw an fire. The radio on one hip an my .38 on the other is usually incentive enough for people to be nice. Hope it stays that way.

It was really more my DH's deal than mine. You apply and the ATF comes to you and interviews you- sees if you really know about guns and gun laws in general, to make sure you're not a total dummy

Then you have to be fingerprinted and have that sent off . . . you have to keep meticulous records, for sure. The ATF could have come into our home at any point and inspected our records. I say home because the LLC was home-based- we didn't have a storefront. With Gunbroker and those sites nowadays, you don't have to. The only thing that really bothered me was having strangers come to our home (not inside) to fill out paperwork, if they were local. We never had any scary incidences, but there's always that possibility. The cool things were meeting really interesting people at gun shows and getting to attend the SHOT Show. Anyway, yeah, you have to know pretty much every state's gun laws, and as you know there are some states *coughKaliforniaMassachusettscough* that have some um, particularly strict gun laws. If you sell lowers, you better know what lowers are off-list for Kali. All that info is available, but still, a real pain to have to deal with. It ended up being quite lucrative for a while, especially around the last Presidential election

but DH just got tired of dealing with all the rules and regulations and sometimes the paperwork, packing, and labeling took up a lot of his time in the evenings. It just got to be too much with a full-time job, kids, and the house, land, and animals to take care of, so in his words, he "got out while the getting was good." He said there were too many opportunities to unwittingly break the law, even when you thought you were following all the rules and laws to the letter.

I load all my own ammo except for .22 . Never had a recall on my own stuff.

DH loads most of his own as well. You don't often see a recall on ammo, though. Cars, cribs, clothing, food, toys. . . but not ammo. Interesting, I think.

I guess my biggest question would be do you think they will ever just drop by even though you now are not FFL?
It wouldn't at all surprise me for them to find some excuse to keep checking your "stock".
You can see my state so.........
