    FedEX clerk “we don’t ship guns”

    The same thing happened to me about five years ago. One FedEx clerk straight up told me that they do not ship firearms... I disagreed. Two more people came out of the back and they weren't sure; so they pulled out a three inch thick rules and regs book and started to look. Then a driver came...

    FedEX clerk “we don’t ship guns”

    Yes, ALL USP Stores. If you ship a handgun at a UPS Store, it is done in error and it breaks the terms and conditions of their tariff. This is the same as when someone doesn't inform the UPS jockey that it is a handgun; everything is fine, until you have to file a claim. You, as the person...

    FedEX clerk “we don’t ship guns”

    David, he was agreeing with you.... He said that you were wrong because it wasn't covered in "another" thread, but in "many, many, many" threads. -He jokingly told you that you were incorrect.

    FedEX clerk “we don’t ship guns”

    It is also the place where people admit that they were wrong. Some guys struggle with the choice to break "rules" that only help to infringe our rights. Another example... There are many honest men that choose to legally conceal their firearm in a business that posts a "no guns" sign that...

    FedEX clerk “we don’t ship guns”

    Read the federal code, not an FAQ, and then get back to us... It is not required by law, if you are shipping to an FFL.

    $300 NRA life membership is back

    You ca already do that by calling and "Opting out" of future solicitation. I did, and I haven't seen a piece of mail from the NRA in two yeas.

    First Semi-Auto Rifle/Carbine Purchase - Need Help

    I agree with Dark Knight... Assault Rifle is a military term. Assault Weapon is a political term.

    FFL transfer

    Shipping rates vary greatly... Are you referring to long guns or handguns? Shipping handguns can get expensive. FFLs can ship using USPS for about $20. If an individual wants to ship via FedEx or UPS, it can cost around $40 - $60.

    Magnets better than springs?

    I also think that it is an interesting idea.... My only point is that he should not present it as a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. I wouldn't mention anything about the advantage of not having to rotate out mags. Just market it as a new innovation. In most cases, failure to...

    Magnets better than springs?

    Ma, "Newton's Laws" do not encompass all of the "laws of physics." If someone wants to begin a debate, with a Professional Engineer, regarding the applicable "laws of physics" dealing with spring design and they mention Newton in a novelette like post, while remaining silent about the...

    Magnets better than springs?

    Newton's law has nothing to do with dynamic fatigue of springs... And one manufacturer admitting that their springs are not designed properly, also does not change the engineering behind spring properties... It is an interesting application and I wish you luck, but you will not win the...

    Magnets better than springs?

    Magnets are more fragile than good mag springs... This is a solution to a problem that didn't need solving.... MAG SPRINGS DO NOT FATIGUE UNDER A CONSTANT LOAD.

    sunglasses as eye protection

    Yes, many models provide excellent side protection (all of my shooting glasses are Oakleys)... But this is the model in question (which lacks the wrap around design):
