CMP M1 Garand "misdelivered" by FedEx

[brewster2012]

Situation resolved. After 2 phone calls to FedEx, they informed me the package was at the FedEx store where it should have been held in the first place. I picked it up yesterday after work and am very pleased with the rifle; metal condition is excellent, walnut stock with plenty of "character" marks but no major defects. Throat erosion was 2 and barrel gauged at 1 (possibly vice versa as I only glanced at the paperwork). Serial number dates it to 1954-56 manufacture - H&R.

UPS misdelivered a case of wine to my house. Exactly one month later they came and picked it up.

Did you give them a bill for a month of climate-controlled storage?

I think they would have picked up a case of empty bottles here.

Wonder if it was at the store all along, or if they had to go knocking on someone's door?

Wine? What wine?

I thought all firearms deliveries needed to go through an FFL. Am I wrong?

I thought I remembered reading somewhere on the forum the CMP can send directly to the end purchaser?

Yes, the CMP can, and does, ship directly to you.

OK, I thought I knew all the acronyms but what does CMP stand for?

This is bad. This will be another issue the lib's will use to block another gun related process.

Mmmm...

Yes, they can point to this and say "We need more / stricter laws!" And if they knew about it, they not only could, but would.

Standard rebuttal for this is the same as any other rebuttal. Adding more laws does not prevent the breaking of law.
We have laws regulating the shipping of firearms. FedEx has regulations and policies. Multiple pieces of paper had to be disregarded, some willfully, for this to happen already. The gun was reported delivered when it wasn't (or was, to the wrong person). That could be construed to fall under theft of some sort. It showed as signed-for, when it wasn't. So -someone- forged a signature. The firearm may have been delivered to an ineligible person before the error was realized and it was reclaimed for proper delivery. We don't know.

None of the existing law or regulation stopped this. Why would one more, or ten more, stop it?

Or if you have a C&R 03 FFL you can have them shipped to you.
