The Post Office, Police and The A.T.F

[janiece]

Buster? A chainsaw? But that's so messy!

I can understand why they'd want you to put a cardboard sheath over the business end of them. But they went way overboard.

There is one local post office that I "used to" go to. They would knit-pick EVERY package and give me a hard time EVERY TIME. I would leave angrily, and take my package to another office farther away(a smaller P.O). They would mail ALL of them without any problem(and they are friendly). I came to the conclusion that, if the Postmaster is a "Jerk", there will be low morale with everybody in that particular office. It's almost as if the P-Master demands that every customer be treated rudely. And we wonder where the term "going postal" came from.

Oh wow, I didn't read this thread. That is crazy. Murder weapon, not hardly. Awesome metal detecting digging tool, yes. You outta show the A.T.F. this post and see all the positive comments you are getting about your tools. Makes me want to go dig a plug right now.

I gotta say Charlies Digging tool works well..A self Defense tool maybe..I guess to a city slicker Post master the Teeth of the tool scared him a bit..But to have the ATF and police involved is crazy..Charlie I would suggest Bubble wraping the Blade or Wrap the blades with a rubber innertube..When I recieved my Digger the Box had a Hole in it..Heck the postal service is probabbly ripping holes in stuff just to be nosey..Glad your ok and they understood...james

Some people are educated beyond their ability to use the common sense God gave them! Everything that happens in this day is a big issue.
