So this a.m. I stopped by the local PO to send off the Ishy I just sold to another board member. Mind you know, that I have already gone by once to get the cost of shipping it and discussed how to ship it with the postal employee, and learned from all the experts here on THR.
Well this a.m. I get a different postal agent. I've delt with her in the past, (but not for firearms)and I'm sure she recognizes me from the past. I toss that big old box up on the counter, present the FFL copy and she tells me "You cannot ship a gun unless you're a dealer too." Me: "Uh, no. Check your info. I CAN ship a long gun as long as it is going to an FFL, and this is a copy of the dealers where it is going." Well, then she was getting flustered. Real nervous like. She started stumbling around like I was going to open that package and start shooting up the place. She checked her chart they keep on the desk and with a look of embarrassment, gladly accepted the package. I kindly asked for delivery conf. and insurance, got the total paid with my debit card, then she tells me she gave me the wrong receipt and I had hers. She still had them both! She only handed me my debit card back. She then applied the ins and delv. conf. tags to the box, and placed the box in the bin behind the counter. I then asked her if she was going to place the postage paid sticker to the box so it would not show back up at my house. You should have seen her fumbling around in embarrassment at that point.
Experienced learned? you can really tell when you are dealing with someone nervous around firearms.

It is amazing that some sheeple will wet themselves in the presence of an inanimate object.
