USPS Cannot ship handguns to a residence

[ronlglock]

I've been shipping handguns and long guns for a while at the same PO and a new staffer showed up today who wouldn't let me ship a handgun because it was going to a person at a residence.

The person is an FFL07 which apparently was the biggest objection, but then the address came up as a residence in their system which was objection number 2.

I had a filled out and signed Form 1508, but that didn't help. Anyone else had this issue with their PO and how did you solve it?

Did you use "THE MAGIC WORD" on the new staffer?

That should work just fine. But I'm old and don't suffer fools as easily as I once did.

"SUPERVISOR" is my default go to for these instances.

I had a Los Angeles area issue at a post office I normally don't use. The end result was a regional "inservice training" including the privileges of an FFL.

I had a guy refuse my 1508 and refused to ship the gun. I literally showed him the Postal code and he said "I don't care what if a kid gets that gun."

After filing a complaint I was contacted by the Los Angeles Postmaster apologizing and assuring me that the individual involved would be handled.

A few weeks later the lady I normally see at my regular PO told me they just had a regional train on FFL's shipping guns. We both laughed when I told her I was most likely the origin of that. I have to admit in my 3 years as a FFL I have learned allot from the FFL's on this board.

Machined parts.

No we are required to fill out 1508 with a gun. Gotta follow the laws
