Apparently it is now legal for anyone to mail handguns

Honestly, USPS sucks.

I have redelivered USPS packages delivered to me but addressed to neighbors many times. Often more than one a year.

Amazon is not much better, but I always get a picture of the delivery.

Several times I've asked USPS to track missing packages, with no success at all. Multiple visits to the local PO and many Forms did not help.

I shudder to imagine USPS misdelivering a HandGun. Even an honest neighbor might call the Police. As with many things, being legal does not avoid trouble.

Every time I renew my Mass LTC the officer asks if I've lost a gun or had it stolen. I strongly suspect if I said yes, no renewal would be granted.

And lost in the mail ?

I am curious ... has anyone here ever had a USPS package missing, and had success with USPS in finding that lost package?

Better than 90% of our Amazon orders are delivered by USPS out here. Of the remaining 10%, probably 8% are UPS and the other 2 split evenly between Fedex and Amazon's own delivery drivers.

And thanks to Mrs Spat's habits, we have a fairly large sample set to look at there.
