About 12 years ago, during the Glock in the hood craze due to rapster video and gang bang movies....
I tried to UPS my Glock back to the Factory from the Richmond CA facility.
They had the address flagged in the system and said they do not ship GLOCKS anymore. It was like wow? Is this just glocks or what? They said yes it was a memo in the system to not accept glocks for shipment. I said that is like discrimination against Law Enforcement and Boys in the Hood.
Later I asked about this to a friend that was a supervisor on the sorting line. He stated they had banned Glocks from shipment for like 3 months now. Seems that over 90 went missing at that facility alone and that it was a widespread problem at UPS that packages to and from the Glock address were disappearing at an alarming rate so they stopped any doing any shipments to or from.
The Richmond PD and ATF and supposedly even the FBI all had investigations going at that Richmond UPS and had interviewed a lot of folks. He told me some boys from the hood were let go because of suspicions they were involved, in fact it was one whole crew section or such.
I called Glock, they said they were aware of the situation. They told me the solution was to find an authorized glock armourer. Funny thing they did not say this when I talked to them originally. They said this policy was a hit or miss thing at UPS and thought that the pattern suggested UPS centers in certain neighborhoods were subject to this rule. They also said this was part of some kind of investigation (it was the same time that Congress was trying to ban the plastic gun due to all those Americans getting hijacked and killed by those guns getting smuggled by the metal detectors). All of this seemed like a bunch of B.S. and more like when the alpha dog says attack the weakest dog all the other dogs jump in and attack for no other reason as it was the fad that day.
I was amazed that a large company like UPS would implement such a policy. I would think they would instead focus on security and hiring honest people. It just seemed all backwards and twisted that they would have to make such a rule to stop theft that their employees were doing. How perverted is that.
Anyways after the Glock fad went away and Congress gave up trying to ban the thing the world once more became safe for Glock owners.
