Same thing came to mind… Ive never heard of this. Also- "Randomly" selected… Yeah right….. Our gov really seems to be tightening the nooseSad that the federal government can open a private shipment without a warrant.
It's only a federal offense if we do it. Lol.Sad that the federal government can open a private shipment without a warrant.
Yeah I am a regular there and they know me well, so they will be interested too to see what/who/how this package was inspected. I have bought probably 10 or so guns in the last few months, last one last week, and know the process all too well! ;-). Good new for me is that throughout COVID and all the way through to the last one i did last week, I have always been an instant approval. No idea how I got on that "list' but I will take it. Hopefully my luck doesnt run out here and still get an instant, but worst case yeah running about a day or so queue delay, which certainly was worse not all that long ago!!The dealer FFL will have to open the box to verify that the numbers match, put it in his books as received, do the background check on you, so if not early in the day you might have to wait one more day to pick up your gun. I say this because a last week I got the call that my new gun was at the FFL's so I got there about noon, did the paperwork and was number 101 in the que and was told it would be about 4 o'clock before I cleared. I just went back the next day when the shop opened and picked it up then. I was told that sometimes there can be a bit of a backlog but the try to clear it up every night.
One COULD interpret that an importation - shipping from the USA into an occupied territory!Thanks for the responses- all those cases involve shipments from overseas to the US, going through customs. This is a handgun that was purchased from a vendor in Utah, shipping to my FFL in Salem. I would not think Customs would be involved . . .
What if they put a round down the pipe and kept the case & bullet? Scary.Sad that the federal government can open a private shipment without a warrant.
One gun that I bought, the factory left two empty cases in a little envelope with something written on it - initials, or the words "proofing rounds" or something similar - in the case with the gun.What if they put a round down the pipe and kept the case & bullet? Scary.
Those kind of boxes either contain a major award… or electric sex that gets displayed in the front window every x-mas season…. ¡Olé!To be honest, if I saw a big ol teal tiffany & co shipping box pass through my jurisdiction I'd be tempted to play scrooge mcduck my own self.
Lulz
This was required when I lived in CA 25 years ago.One gun that I bought, the factory left two empty cases in a little envelope with something written on it - initials, or the words "proofing rounds" or something similar - in the case with the gun.
This seems to be a common thing now as some places require this. The Dealer has to turn a fired case over to the Law to keep. Have bought a few guns that had the two fired cases with it that were just left in the box as this state did not want them. At least not yet.One gun that I bought, the factory left two empty cases in a little envelope with something written on it - initials, or the words "proofing rounds" or something similar - in the case with the gun.
Once it is seen, it can't be unseen.
Mass did or does this - required cases for registration of the gun so they could compare to cases left at a crime scene - IIRC.One gun that I bought, the factory left two empty cases in a little envelope with something written on it - initials, or the words "proofing rounds" or something similar - in the case with the gun.
It was indeed an S&W, so that explains it. Thanks!Mass did or does this - required cases for registration of the gun so they could compare to cases left at a crime scene - IIRC.
A number of S&Ws I have bought had these - their HQ is in Mass.
Last couple Kel-Tec rifles I bought had the empty cases with them. I got a kick out of the fact that they were steel case stuff and the Co at that time at least was suggesting you do not use this ammo in the guns. Good enough for them to test fire thoughIt was indeed an S&W, so that explains it. Thanks!
