How would the driver know that the package contained a gun?So what laws did the driver violate by delivering the package to a non-ffl person? Any bets on if they will face charges?

Typically by the return address or the destination address.How would the driver know that the package contained a gun?
If its being sent from Bob's gun shop to Fred's gun center, it doesn't take a genius to figure out a gun or gun related item is in the box.
Of course Fedex and UPS plug the address in and they can tell you the store name, but the drivers en route typically won't. They can't steal the gun out of the sort center, those folks go through a security check as bad as an airport, so the driver becomes the focus of the blame.
Or STEAL anything. Like my free knife from the NRA. Got the package and it was carefully cut open and sealed back up with tape, but empty. Wrote the PG about that one.Oh ya, the Postal Service ... they NEVER lose anything ...
After working at a UPS sorting center I can tell you much of this is not true. Security is no where near the same level as an airport. They have more than one entrance/exit point but only one security check point for employees walking to and from the parking lot. The security cameras are also not hard for a truck loader to get past.
