[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4345567, member: 45773"] I hate to defend the ATF but this isn't their problem. Especially since the gun was "found" and delivered where it needed to go. There is no law that requires a signature for firearms upon delivery. It's either a common carrier, shipper or receiver requirement. As an FFL, I had one gun stolen from me over 15+ years...at a gun show. There's a requirement to notify the ATF of the stolen firearm and a requirement to make proper entries in the A&D book. After that, the ATF will tell you to contact local law enforcement to make a report. I had two M1A rifles that were "lost" in transit from AcuSport (a distributor) in Montana to me in rural Colorado. Fortunately for me, it wasn't yet my problem when the guns came up missing. They were never located as far as I know. I've also had UPS deliver a rifle with a truck tire print across the box. It was an Armalite bolt action .50BMG rifle. The bolt was snapped off. The USPS was, far and away, my preferred method of shipping when I was an FFL. UPS was my next favorite. FedEx Express was really good but I never shipped with them...only received stuff. Almost perfect record. FedEx Ground was the worst of the lot. These days, UPS is the best with FedEx Ground (or Home Delivery...whatever they're called now) second. The USPS? I think everyone knows how I feel about the Ada PO. Their service is absolutely horrible. [/QUOTE]
