To make things easier please do not seal packages or envelopes for easier and more convenient access.

Can’t wait for someone to walk into a Canada Post with a rifle or shotgun in hand to ship to a new address.

For the unaware, it’s easier for PAL holders to ship a firearm than take it on a plane when moving provinces.

.....it should be, shouldn't it? Am I missing something?

I mean you’re not wrong but then this question arises. Do you want someone who is licensed to posses and acquire firearms handling said firearm or a random postal worker?

Buddy of mine ordered a Howa 1500 in 6.5 creedmoor and had it shipped, i think through UPS, and they just left it at his door while he wasn’t home, no signature required.

I am definitely more concerned about the chance of someone who is licensed going nuts (or having nefarious intentions), than I am about a random postal worker potentially seeing a packaged/secured firearm moving through the system.

The potential harm is so, so much greater in the airplane scenario.

How often does this happen in Canada? The odds of someone unlicensed and in illegal possession of a firearm committing this is far greater than what you’re claiming.

1 in 10 Canadians claim to have packages stolen every year but sure, let’s continue to target Canadians who already go through a heavy vetting process by the RCMP and Canadian Firearms Program even more.

Your mask slipped off buddy... might want to put it back.

Edit: Holy fucking bot (even if not literally). Sorry I even wasted my time 🙄
