I was having my Dickson 28 gauge returned to me from some work Jack Rowe did on it. This was back when I was still working in the Provost's Office at the University. The UPS guy, knowing I was at work and not at home, delivered the gun to my office. My assistant at the time was a retired Army colonel and he knew exactly what was in the package...and that it violated University and Board policies. Fortunately, he could keep his mouth shut. I was able to sneak the box out unobserved. Life in a small town(!), where the UPS guy knows you...where you live and work. This was back in the early 2000s. I can only imagine the demonstrations the same thing would inspire in my faculty colleagues today. Try being a gun owner and hunter in a university of "open minded" PhDs.
