    I once received a loaded Beretta 92 in the mail once. Had a nice conversation with the seller and made appropriate feedback comments. On the upside, the ammo in the mag and chamber was Black Talon...15 rounds. I turned around and listed it and some knucklehead bid $30 (+ $10 shipping) for it...on GunBroker. The "knucklehead" was the guy who sold me the gun. He said he felt bad about shipping a loaded gun and did what he could to make it right.

    Did the FFL at least let you keep the ammo?

    i have a buddy that received a supposedly de-militarized relic via ffl delivery, he did a very stupid thing and pulled the trigger, bang.

    no one was hurt, but this thing was supposed to be a paper weight.

    Try and get the issues fixed/refuned etc, then nail him to the wall. It's not tattling or being petty when we are talking things with lethal consequences.

    How the hell can people be so stupid? I can't even grasp the concept of selling a gun with ammo still in it, let alone SHIPPING it! WTF.....

    Two of the guns I purchased from Armslist were loaded. In one case the guy said, "Oh, this was my CCW until this morning and it's still loaded" and in the other case the seller had no idea. Apparently, sellers have occasionally put loaded pistols on the table at Tanner as well, which is even scarier than mailing it because you KNOW some people are probably going to be picking it up and pulling the trigger.

    Can you think of the trouble if the packaging didn't hold up to the UPS monkeys and it opened up and someone pull it out and pointed it at his coworker and pulled the trigger.

    I bet that's exactly what you did This guy is very lucky that several of the things that could go wrong didn't. He probably misunderstood the first rule of firearm safety to be "treat every gun as if it's UN-loaded and doesn't have the capacity to hurt/kill someone".
    I don't make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.
