The postal carry topic is one that has been discussed at length here, but I believe with little attention to the underlying law/regulation. Since this thread is not focused on it, I will just propose:03Lightningrocks wrote:Funny you mentioned that. I wondered if I was in violation when I picked up that gun today. It was concealed in the shipping box. Of course it was unloaded... but concealed just the same. I think it is legal for a gun repair service to ship the gun direct to you after they have done repairs on it. Ruger did the same thing. Shipped it directly to me after repairing it. Kahr did the same when my son had them work on his P380. Technically, when I sell a rifle on Gun Broker I am allowed to ship it to a FFL. When I do this I am concealing a rifle in the box. Weird how that works. I always tell them it is a rifle, and 50% of the time I have to listen to the Postal employee flip out.boomerang wrote:It's OK if you're there to pick up a pink Glock.ScottDLS wrote:What if you are approached in a Post Office parking lot, but the people approaching have CHL badges?
A bit off topic but this thread seems to have gone into a couple different directions at this point anyway.
My opinion is...Your sending or receiving firearms through the US mail in accordance with federal law and US postal regulations is unlikely to raise any significant issues under US or Texas law.
Obviously my previous post was an attempt at humor, which seems to have been lost in this thread, but I always throw a bit of legitimate CHL content in my jokes. I don't just do a "I agree" sign to boost my post count. Even if I post a smart alack comment, I've got a bit of content in it.
Having read your (copious)
posts, I believe you are engaging in the same spirit. Cool. I don't think polite and occasionally lighthearted discussion detracts from this community.------
Now, If I really want a full discussion of Post Office carry, I'll start a(nother) thread. I did a post a few weeks ago where I dug very deeply into the US Code and CFR.
Jehovah Witnesses get drawn on at 30 paces if you are Roman Catholic, 20 if you are Jewish (both Orthodox and Reform), and 15 for Evangelical and Mainline Protestants. It's all the the CHL handbook...
