I noticed the same...

Anyone seen OP?

Not since this morning. I guess you could say he is AWOR.

I noticed the same...

Anyone seen OP?

And...crickets!


Of course his "health problems" could have taken a turn for the worse...

[Off the Roster]

UPS picked him up, no tracking number provided.

tere hanges is the inly descriptiin to this thread

[hambam105]

I call B.S. on this story, if it's not it should be.

I never worried about personal safety since I trained him myself and know he's a safe user.

"A safe user', did you say....Report the gun missing and accept the consequences of your training. Say hello to your brother for us.

Let's see...Chapter 3....UPS....Don't touch.....Brothers....

[OTP]

If there is any truth to this. Taken under false pretenses is stolen.

1. How does the driver even know what's in the package? All communication of the claim would be between the UPS claims dept and recipient. If they approve it they send you a check. If not you'll probably get a call or a letter of the denial.

2. UPS isn't a debt collection agency or the "muscle" for a seller. The responsibility has always been the buyer when returning anything. Vendors with good CS will send you a prepaid shipping label. Others will make you responsible for the return shipping. You or the sender can schedule for UPS to pick up the package but again the driver has no knowledge of the contents.

No evidence but it sounds true to me. My brother is not malicious, but he is seriously naive and lacks street smarts.

There are folks who "lack street smarts"...
There are folks who are mentally challenged or handicapped...
And there are folks who are dumb as a bag of rocks...

If this story is at all true, I wouldn't classify your brother as someone lacking street smarts. And you didn't mention anything about him being mentally challenged or handicapped.

So... guess which one that leaves.

BTW, I didn't waste time reading thru the entire thread.

[thnwbbsmt]

sounds like the gun is in better hands. OP you and your brother should not own firearms or have access to them.

EDIT: I also call bull**** on the whole story.

[riddler408]

I used to manage a ups store. This story doesn't make any sense what so ever.

[POLICESTATE]

REPORT THE GUN AS STOLEN. For crying out loud!

[riddler408]

REPORT THE GUN AS STOLEN. For crying out loud!

Seriously!

[bodger]

Nonsense. OP is trolling for sure. Or his brother sold the rifle and made up the story.

[mage]

REPORT THE GUN AS STOLEN. For crying out loud!

I'm blown away that this wasn't every post on page one.

[dwtt]

I was laughing just reading the first page. So many of you got taken for what is an obvious troll.

Anyone remember that story from last week about a guy getting his AR confiscated by the cops, then he goes to the station and they give it back to him? He supposedly sold it and paid some cash out of his pocket to get an identical rifle, just because his old rifle had police cooties on it. Anyone remember that one?
