If you walk into the postal service with the firearm in question held in a horizontal position, aimed at the "server", I suspect you will get his attention!!!! If I were that employee, all further sentences would start with "yessireeeeee! Sirrrrrr!!!"

If he realizes it is a civil war era weapon, the reaction may be somewhat more coherent!![^][^][^]

Actually, my problem was with a cap and ball revolver. By Federal definition a "non-firearm". No amount of arguing would change their minds. Fortunately, since that time, we have a new postmaster. And, my daughters father-in-law is a supervisor there. He will get me the "real facts" and see to it things are done according to the book. No favors, just what is right.
