Shipping ammunition.

[Bawanna]

I've shipped one gun in my life time. I'm not advocating this as an everyday practice. I just looked at the cost associated with it and decided to take a chance and send it via the post office. If caught I would have pleaded ignorance and thrown myself on the mercy of the court. I'm sure my sentence would have made me sleep less.....happy now Bawanna?:9:

I'm picking up bad karma here kahrseye and I hope that you realize that I was yanking your chain from the start. I've done exactly what you did numerous times. I sent a 375 H&H Model 70 to Alaska years ago on loan to a friend. The post office asked what was in the box. I told them it was a big pipe wrench for work on the pipeline. Oh no problem they said.
Bending rules is a borderline forte for me.

In case no one noticed I'm nearly always happy cept when we get visited occasionally by trolls that want to pick on jocko, then I'm only semi happy. I often wonder myself why this is the case. Maybe you guys just all make me happy?

I'm not bashing you kahrseye, I'm just having a little fun. I've bent the rules too, I think I am more surprised that you took the chance and it worked out. I would get caught, every time, without fail, especially on the day when they decided to make an example out of someone. I wholeheartedly agree and think that the hoops we have to go through are ridiculous as long as we can accurately know who we are sending to is who they are and legit to buy. As far as it potentially getting stolen in the mail, if a criminal wants it bad enough, then they are going to get it no matter how you ship it.

screw um, should have just shipped and said nothing about what was in it. At best had they caught it, which they would not have, they would have just kept it. ....

Well, you could do that, but it is a federal crime.

You are required to give the shipper written notification of the contents. The rest of it is all the shipper's policies, not law (they could put the ORM-D sticker on the box themselves, for example).

And I suggest you limit comments about what you may have done personally, since comments used on an informal site like this one could be used against you at your felony trial.

Hey guys, no problem. I'm sorry my response sounded like I was a little perturbed. I wasn't and am not. Takes more than that to get my goat....or was it a sheep?
