What you can and can't mail: They forgot to mention that the post office won't mail guns, gun parts, ammunition, or flammable parts of ammunition. The theory is that the only guns the Postal Service carries are their personal AK-47's. And don't forget that the Postal worker's uniform is the most feared uniform the United States Government has! BirdDog BTW: UPS will ship any of these items (except the postal workers ak-47). They just want to know what it is and may charge extra for hazard insurance.
