Firearms shipment - avoid UPS

[mrerick]

Re-reading all this has me thinking...

The USPS is a quasi-private agency associated with the government. (Corrected by Ron below...) So is the CMP and I believe Boy Scouts.

USPS is quite sensitive to discrimination issues, especially after a history of individual employee actions nationwide. A friend that retired from postal service said you could cut the political correctness with a knife where he worked.

The ATF regulations establish a class of individuals, "Curio and Relic Collectors" that is well defined:

- Pass a background check
- Pay a regular licensing fee
- Have a permanent address listed on the license

These characteristics are the same as other classes of FFL holders.

The basic difference between Curio and Relic firearms and Antique firearms is their age. They all function in the same way. There is no other difference.

The DMM regulations are pure discrimination against a class of individuals without any functional justification. The same as if you were black and I were white and the USPS serviced our customer requirements in different ways.

This could be an interesting lawsuit....
