Posted: 6/24/2012 5:11:03 PM THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I had a revolver delivered to me this week (see the C&R page), and when the driver range the doorbell, I answered. He handed me the box, had me sign, and walked a way, pausing about 30 feet from my door, he said "You last name is X, right?". I affirmed this, but then got to thinking, I could've been any fool that was in that house. I wonder if that's happened to others that order firearms on their FFL.

One look at this old fart, they would never believe I was too young to get something!

My last purchase was just left on the doorstep, so if someone had walked off with that, they would've had a nice Chinese T53

If the board does not prompt him to get a signature, it will get left on the porch. If you get a lot of guns and ammo get on a first name basis with your guy. Most drivers will go out of their way to help the customers that make a little effort to make things easier.

Its mutual. Most UPS dudes smell pretty bad. Especially poncho loving ones
