Rifle instead of TV
« on: August 08, 2012, 01:11:22 PM »
 ;)  The internet new is reporting that a man in N.Y. City ordered a TV and instead got a Sig simeauto rifle. What  Co. sells TV's and Sig firearms? Sounds like a big lie. What Co? what shipper Fedex, UPS or USPO?

It was some kind of third party deal through Amazon that got screwed up somehow.

Sounds like an urban myth to me. What's the source of that information?

At least it was being shipped to a gun dealer which is legal.  Someone got the labeling mixed up or something, either Amazon, or UPS.

I wonder if anyone's ever gotten a king cobra or shipment of highly dangerous bacteria intended for a lab or a zoo.

Years ago in North Port Fl the produce manager at Winn Dixie opened a box of bananas and found it full of cocain. I guess the poor drug dealer ended up with a shipment of bananas.

If there was no dealer name or address on the box or papers that came with the weapon, should you keep it?
