You have a valid point !

I purchased a rather nice circa 1897 Marlin Model 1895 in 38-56 from Leroy Merz a number of years back and he shipped it direct to me via UPS no signature required . Now bear in mind I live in the country . And they just propped it against the wall right beside the front door .

BUT it was right there pretty much the first thing an unwanted visitor would notice and on top of that it naturally was in a cardboard box so if there was rain well you get the picture .
