Obviously my previous post was an attempt at humor, which seems to have been lost in this thread, but I always throw a bit of legitimate CHL content in my jokes. I don't just do a "I agree" sign to boost my post count. Even if I post a smart alack comment, I've got a bit of content in it.

Having read your (copious) posts, I believe you are engaging in the same spirit. Cool. I don't think polite and occasionally lighthearted discussion detracts from this community.

Now, If I really want a full discussion of Post Office carry, I'll start a(nother) thread. I did a post a few weeks ago where I dug very deeply into the US Code and CFR.

Yes, but in this thread it was his pot being stirred, by someone who does a lot of that and gets away with it.

Interesting. Quite frankly, you insinuating that you feel there are folks who deserve to be banned is in itself an atagonistic post. I have no idea why he got banned but I will bet dollars to donuts it was not for being antagonistic. This is a public forum and if you post a story expecting everyone to agree with how you handled yourself, you will probably be disapointed. How one get's banned around here is by disrespecting the mods when they ask you to tone it down.

It's OK if you're there to pick up a pink Glock.

Funny you mentioned that. I wondered if I was in violation when I picked up that gun today. It was concealed in the shipping box. Of course it was unloaded... but concealed just the same. I think it is legal for a gun repair service to ship the gun direct to you after they have done repairs on it. Ruger did the same thing. Shipped it directly to me after repairing it. Kahr did the same when my son had them work on his P380. Technically, when I sell a rifle on Gun Broker I am allowed to ship it to a FFL. When I do this I am concealing a rifle in the box. Weird how that works. I always tell them it is a rifle, and 50% of the time I have to listen to the Postal employee flip out.

A bit off topic but this thread seems to have gone into a couple different directions at this point anyway.

You're trying to suck me in, aren't you? Not gonna work

I don't think Mark got banned for anything he said in this thread because his posts are still here. He had a few other threads of controversy going on too. Maybe he got cross with a mod. They typically don't ban you if you just say oops, sorry and move on. I can tell you that everything in this thread is still here that was here last night.

Even though you've been kinda a jerk about this, I will say that was pretty funny. But you forgot that they snuck up on you at night time.

I have not been a jerk about anything. It looks to me like you freaked out over nothing. Hopefully you don't blast an innocent citizen with an over reaction like that. I think your battle field awareness needs some serious adjustment. Your not in a war zone and if you think it is, please leave your gun at home before you make a huge error in judgement. Believing everyone that aproaches you is a possible serial killer is paranoid at best.

No need if you just prepare to draw on anyone that comes within 50 paces of you. Old women, children, girl scouts, mormons... anyone. Why risk it?

I have two words for you.

Thin Mints

Are you saying that you don't think it was Mormons? Maybe Moonies or something? I am pretty sure they weren't Quakers. Quakers would have tried to sell you furniture and would have made their escape via horse and buggy.

Don't mean to get technical since it was a joke, but methinks you mean Amish. Quakers use vehicles and make good oats <g>

Which brings me to my whimsy.... what goes clop clop clop, bang bang bang, clipitty clop, clipitty clop?

Amish drive by shootings!

Great joke... and your right... Amish use the horse and buggy. LOL... now I have this picture of an Amish drive by shooting in my head... Thanks a lot.

That is what I call an irrational fear.
