I've decided to apply for a C&R License. Unfortunately, our mailing address "situation" is kind of unique and looks like it might cause some issues.
We live out in the middle of nowhere. Our mailman of several years is a complete screw-up who always delivers the wrong mail. I mean, I don't get the neighbor's mail -- I get random mail addressed to people 20 miles away...! It's like a big grab-bag and whatever comes up goes into my mailbox. No amount of calling the post office and complaining seemed to resolve it.
One day I finally got torqued off enough and removed the mailbox. I then went out to the post office and got a PO Box.
So, UPS & Fedex will deliver to the house, but the Post Office won't because there is no box (and hasn't been for a number of years). Ultimately, things haven't changed much -- I never actually got much of my own mail when the post office "delivered" here anyway. I don't have to make the several hundred foot trek to the mailbox only to find mail addressed to people I've never heard of.
If I specify the PO Box as my mailing address on the C&R application, the license will show up. Unfortunately, UPS & Fedex won't be able to deliver anything there. I believe most of my shipments will be UPS/Fedex since the Post Office won't allow firearms in the mail for 03C&R, right?
It really sounds like I need to put my mailbox back out, doesn't it?
Would it be an option to use my office address? My company doesn't have any silly "no firearms" rules. I own the place.
