MA State Police visit after online ammo purchase

[namedpipes]

The main issue here is not the MSP knocking on your door, but the fact that they are tracking packages from the source and now Maura will go after the ammo seller and attempt to shut them down. Nothing we can do about that, all shipments are entered in a database and MSP has access. They knew the package was on the way the before it was even loaded on the truck.

Think about the implications of the post offices "Informed Delivery" program, whether or not you receive the notices.

Think about how good camera tech is today and how often you can sort of read the letter through the envelope.

You really think they aren't sniffing and scanning packages, too?

I don't buy it. Everybody knows the MA state police don't do anything but highway details and speed traps on the pike.

And plant evidence in Canton

So what is the smart response to police showing up at your door?

Meet them at the end of the driveway

I’m with the people calling bs. OP may think it’s legit so I’ll say his friend is FOS.

Think about how many of us have ammo delivered on a regular basis, have any of us ever once had this happen? And we’re on like every list possible.

So OP has like 4 posts here, and a guy we’ve never even heard of tells this story to him with little to no details. Again, how many times have we ordered online, probably thousands of deliveries, no gestapo knocks on the door.

BS story.

I've had a UPS driver comment about the weight and small size of an ammo package about a year or two ago. I saw her pull up so I went outside to grab the package from her and she started asking questions, she eventually asked if it was ammo. I just politely said no, said thanks and brought it inside. I never thought much of it until I just read your post.

Car parts.

Car parts.

I say nothing. Just give them a

and walk away

Either bs or there’s a whole other hugely relevant detail for the visit that’s being omitted.

Isn't that in the law at least?

It was a years ago, I wasn't as brilliant then as I am now. Like everything, there's a backstory to it. I almost got f***ed hard, thankfully I had a really good lawyer.

Don't forget writing fake tickets and scamming OT!



Obviously they aren't showing up to everyone's house that orders ammo. Doesn't mean they haven't showed up to some.



You own cops and a UPS guy? That's badass.



Police investigate things that are completely legal all the time. They'll do anything their told by the politicians they answer to.



What's your username there?

I’m not that kind of Italian.

It's either BS or details are missing. Like the guys roommate was a meth dealer now in prison and his address pops hot at some fusion center.....

Roger. I was going to finish my post with something like that but I was naked and someone was knocking on my door so I cut it short. lol

Was it the MSP?

If it was they came an awful long way for nothing.

They've done dumber things.

THIS IS 100% REAL.

Had to be.


There was a thread recently about banks freezing people’s bank accounts. The evidence was a dude that had very questionable info and history with a ‘stan last name.

Somebody go over to masscops and ask about it. Make sure you're clear in that you're not a cop when you ask. It makes them much friendlier and more likely to answer your questions.

They know your ip-address's mobile spot w/in 12" or so & stationary location faster than they count on their own OT thats declining. This must make up for it if its happening.

On WBOS FM 2 MASP traffic only positions were being offered with testing for 28.00 hr to start at Logan Airport. From 5 am to 2pm. Call & ask, better yet look it up.

They have a dynamic enforcement strategy.

I'm still pissed that 40 years ago, I was stopped for speeding on the Mass Pike, and the state trooper saw a surgical forceps in my glove compartment and just took it.
I believe he thought it was drug paraphernalia. (what a great word!). It was in fact a useful tool for fixing stuff like hose clamps in my 1969 Chevy Nova (3-on-the-tree, no power steering). If the public cannot be trusted to carry tools, then they're not citizens, they're cattle.

I woulda been pissed that I’m now burning my fingers with out my roach clip

BS story.

Well, I once had a freight delivery to my house of 20?30? cases of ammo for our Club's Junior Trap program. As the driver pulled the pallet jack up the drive, he said, "Getting ready for the apocalypse?"

"Hell, no. That would be rifle ammo. This is for kids to shoot."

 

[bostonasphalt2]

find the name & addy of the UPS guy and bang his wife

then upper deck his toilet and toss his keys onto the roof

 

[spt_1955]

My UPS driver once delivered two very heavy packages that required a signature. As I was signing, he asked, "So. What do you shoot?" I told him that those boxes were 5.56. He said, "Like an AR?" I responded, "Yep. Exactly like that." He said, "Cool" and simply left. Your friend's UPS driver sounds like an @sshole.

My favorite experience was when I sent one of my CZ's to CZ Custom for some work and when the FEDEX driver delivered it back to me he asked "Don't you usually use Cajun Gunworks?"

Don't expect OP to provide any details, NES is only half a step above Facebook.

We’re all on a list.

 

[weekendracer]

I have zero doubt that my mailman and UPS guy know that I shoot - they've delivered all sorts of shooting accessories (mags, holsters, ammo cans, sights and optics, etc) and dozens of ammo shipments, some not very discreetly packaged at all. I really don't think they GAF. If MSP somehow got involved, I'm guessing this dude is on a watchlist of some sort and they were letting him know it.

I literally had a Winchester (or whatever) case show up with a shipping label on it. Pretty sure it was the cheaper place that won't be named, back in the mid 2k's. So maybe things have changed.

This is more likely, as staties do not, yet, have enough resources to follow up an every single heavy hazmat package.

But, if you’re paranoid, it doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.
