    "Expolsive"

    I received my first mail order of powder and primers today. The box had "Explosive" and "Extremely Flammable" stickers all over it.

    Between the long skinny boxes I get (C&R rifles), heavy/metallic sounding boxes(ammo) and now this, my UPS guy must think we are up to something here.

    Living in of SoCal's liberal heaven has a number of disadvantages in this hobby. I prefer to keep it low key. At least I can get the stuff shipped to me, though.

      UPS delivers much worse things without even knowing it.

      Most civilization is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.

        LOL - I know our UPS guy pretty well from all the deliveries - he is a shooter himself and I often see him at the range where I work on the weekends.

        Remind me to tell you sometime about the time I had powder delivered to me at the office - LOL those stickers raised alot of eyebrows with building security, especially since we had just had a bomb threat the day before
        I'm only smiling at you while you talk to me because it's hilarious that you really think I give a crap about you.

        As I've gotten older I thought I was gaining patience, then I realized I simply don't give a crap.

          My address contains the same numbers as the bar down the street.


          It's always fun to go grab a beer after work and have the bartender give you a case of ammo chaser. Dyslexic delivery guys rokc.

            Hairspray ships ORM-D. Model rocket motors ship explosive. Anything could be in the boxes. My UPS driver could give a **** what I get.

              My UPS guy is into guns...we chat. The other driver always says he knows where to go if things get bad.

                    Guess I'm too low key - where I live I'm the guy that has weird looking golf bags (I guess a drag bag could be mistaken for that) who is gone every weekend.

                      Alas, the box was stamped "Smokeless powder for small arms" and "Primers" as well has the hazmat tickets with similar information. Not really any questions as to what was in there

                        My first shipment of powder and primers should be arriving shortly, now I know what to expect. My UPS guy knows about my hobby, but this shipment is coming Fed Ex. I guess I get to make a new friend.

                          You would be surprised how clueless people are.

                          This boxed was shipped to me by CTD with 4 HK mags in it. Just cause there is a sticker on it doesnt mean much.

                            yea, I should probably explain that if the SHTF, I will be shooting anyone that approaches me or my family that is not in my circle of trust
