[Big Friend Ten (BFT)]

I had to explain in a firm but polite way the US Postal regulations about shipping guns and antiques (1898 and older firearms) to the clerks at my local post office. I also quoted the National Firearms Act to explain what an antique was.

A clerk had ask for a copy of my C&R licence. I asked her, "What will you do with it?" She didn't have a good answer. I told her that Postal Regulations only require me to declare that the package contains a firearm. That was that. If it had not been enough I would have demanded to speak to the postmaster.

If one doesn't humiliate a Postal clerk they may appreciate the education.

PS: Leighton taught me that Priority Mail shipped on a Monday is a safe way to ship. It was good advice.
