Before having weapons stuff delivered to my work place (to avoid porch pirates at my residence), I checked our company policy and our parent company policy for firearms related restrictions. Only thing was no weapons on company property. Nothing at all on ammo, or reloading components.
So I ordered some bullets, a reloading manual, and a go-gauge...from bullets.com. The supplier name caught the attention of Shipping/Receiving (S/R), but they delivered it all, and I explained it was a book and tools, and no ammo. Back-ordered bullets arrived a month or so later, I picked those up when notified, but later got a call from the Facilities people (who manage S/R). I was told the shipment caused concern, and it was reported to Human Resources (HR). They escalated to the director of HR, who then contacted HR at the parent company. After all that, it was determined no policy was violated, but that a new policy would be written to address "it".
I explained it was not ammo, which is not even prohibited. I also, much less the copper clad lead projectiles that I ordered. I was told by Facilities it would be advisable not to bring such things onto company property.
Good grief, these people were peeing in their pants over a box of lead! I am going to order other stuff from bullets.com (not ammo stuff), just to see if they go into panic hand-wringing mode because they see the supplier "bullets.com". What next, the banning of the term "bullet points" in my Powerpoint or Word documents? I already bring my 50 cal bullet pen to meetings, refusing to comply with liberal pansies. A few exclaimed "cool pen", but most just ignore it, or look at it with obvious concern. I work in Silicon Valley, a liberal mecca.
