Reloading for friends!

[skeet]

Transfer of cash doesn't denote anything except you took money for something. If their gun blows up because of a bore obstruction that was already there...it won't matter. It's still gonna come back to you..unless you can prove something else caused it. Most of us have gotten away with giving reloads to friends because..first off we are safe and secondly because of the good nature of our "friends". But if an unscrupulous attorney gets to 'em..it may turn out another way. I have met more than one ambulance chaser in the course of my duties in the fire dept. Fortunately they are few and far between..I hope!

Skeet, you are dead on. All the money does is create a contract for which breach of contract and product liability can be causes of action. Even if there is no money exchanged, negligence is still a cause of action that can be sued upon.

Yeah, I would be very, very hesitant about reloading for anybody. I have only ever taught one guy, which was a friend of mine from law school. He and I reloaded a bunch of shells together and did a bunch of hunting and shooting together. Otherwise, the only people that use my reloads are me and my family members.
