He became the owner of Red Jacket Firearms LLC, changing the trading name to Meaux Guns & Ammo. Additionally, Joe started another Akly’s Defense project, with facilities next to Meaux Guns & Ammo.
Will Hayden arrested and ‘Sons of Guns’ canceled
The store has had a number of issues with the law throughout its existence; one was that the store could not account for ten pieces of registered firearms, during a regular inspection by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) in 2009. However, that was nothing against Will Hayden.
In August 2014, Will was arrested and charged with sexual assault of a minor and aggravated crimes against nature. The girl he allegedly assaulted was his 12-year-old daughter, plus he was charged with aggravated rape by his eldest daughter, who says she was raped when she was 12 by her father. Three years later, Will was convicted of two counts of aggravated rape and one count of forcible rape of two girls over two decades. Eventually, he was sentenced to a third life sentence for rape plus 40 years and transferred to Louisiana State Penitentiary.
His incarceration resulted in the instant cancellation of “Sons of Guns” and Joe resumed the gun business.
