Default RE: Shipping firearms?

ORIGINAL: redhead522

I once went to the USPS Post Office to ship a firearm. Not only did the worker say that I could not ship a firearm, he was extremely rude about it. As if he thought I'd open the package and open fire. So does this mean that he was wrong, or me? Also, even if he is wrong, what evidence do I have to prove him wrong?
IF it was a rifle or shotgun, and you wanted to ship it to a Federal Firearms License holder, the postal clerk was wrong. Tell him he's wrong, and ask him/her to show you where in the Postal Regulations Manual it gives him the information upon which he based his refusal.l If the clerk does notsatisfy you request to see the Postmaster! If the clerk is rude, again, ask to see the Postmaster and lodge a complaint.

IF you had the package addressed to a non-FFL holder, or it was a handgun, the clerk was right.
