Firearms shipment - avoid UPS

Folks I appreciate your comments but please back up your beliefs on this subject with a published reference for WHY you believe what you state. Remember that my theory is that the USPS does not define a "firearm" in its regulations but appears to interpret that term as a complete gun...

As part of the gun owning "fraternity" you and I would define a complete firearm as the collection of individual components necessary to fire a loaded cartridge. If any of those components is missing then it is no longer a "gun."
