Handgun in the mail

[50 Shooter]

Ebay vendor sends wrong item to Canada, it was a mistake. The part that is stupid is the remark this punk makes. "I'm not a hit-man" so what, everyone that owns a handgun is a hit-man!?

:banghead:

Rampant stupidity is reaching epic porportions.

Out of curiousity, isn't it legal to send curio & relics through the post office?

I would be pretty excited if I ordered an mp3 player and got that instead. I would probably have an awfully hard time giving it up.

edited to add: just to clarify, I realize that the pictured firearm is not a C&R.

The pawnshop that auctioned the device sent him an unloaded .22-calibre Smith & Wesson gun and a licence by mistake.

Man, how come such things never happen to me?

I want the name and address of that pawn shop.
I wanna buy a S&W .22 that looks just like the one in the story!

In fact I'll take TWO!

Mr Buchan says he is keeping a photocopy of the gun licence as a souvenir of the incident.

{voice=Jon Lovitz}Yeah, Yeah, that's it, it's a souvenir. That's the ticket. A souvenir.[/voice]

I wonder if he'll try to use it? I bet he's out tracking down a copy of the latest Shotgun News right now.

Since the guy is English, it is a wonder he did not suffer a heart attack and die on the spot, just at the sight of a GUN!!!!!!

Yeah, the fact that it's a .22 just makes that more amusing. ;-)

I should have such 'bad' luck with my receipts!

Actually, a .22 is a popular caliber for mob hits. At least that's what my Uncle Vinnie tells me.

Open package.

See contents.

Keep your damn mouth shut.



This is one of the many reasons we should overtake Canada. So we can rid the world of dipsh*ts like this guy.

 

[keyhole]

Hmmm,,,,

Uncle once recieved a package, labeled "explosives". Found out, after tracking down the rightfull person, it contained .50 rifle rounds!

He wished the guy would have offered some range time to play with them!

If owning a handgun makes you a hitman then obviously I'm unemployed. I should file for unemployment.

 

[Foreign Devil]

Since you all own guns you are all hitmen ... you can write your gun/ammo purchases off as business expenses.

 

[hso]

I'm not sure that the college student majoring in English means anything other than illegally acquiring a handgun in Canada by having it smuggled across the border is what a hit-man would do. Let's not sound too paranoid if we can avoid it.

 

[cerberus]

I will take it

I am a hitman so I can use another gun even a S&W 22

 

[carpettbaggerr]

Yeah, but imagine the guy who ordered the .22 and gets an MP3 player in the mail instead.

 

[45R]

At least his finger isn't on the trigger..:banghead:

 

[The_Antibubba]

"I'm no hit-man"

No-he's a Canadian. That explains the comment and commentary completely.

 

[Moparmike]

He called the cops to retrieve the scary assassin tool. Ugh.

Only cops can handle the self-animate firearm, you know.

 

[HiWayMan]

IIRC: A hitman can legally take a tax deduction on ammo and fuel according to the IRS. No ????. I only wish I could find the article to prove it.

 

[BluesBear]

Since no one has commented on my previous comment (I guess it's true that I am on more ignore lists than anyone) I will go ahead and point out that the story mentions a S&W .22 revolver yet the photo is of a person holding a Colt Python.
