[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 263018, member: 4191"] UPS is a privately-owned company just as much as WalMart, Google, Microsoft and Intel. If they choose to refuse the shipment of guns and gun parts, I'd be surprised to learn that they would be in violation of any state or federal laws. No different than some privately owned and managed discount stores making the decision that they won't sell firearms or ammunition. There's a difference between a privately owned and operated company whose shares of stock are available for purchase by the public, and a publicly owned and operated company (meaning government owned and operated) such as the US Postal Service. But it look's like UPS policy is to ship firearms provided you follow all of their private company dictated policies, on top of complying with all applicable US State or Federal laws. I'd say the lady didn't follow UPS company policy by refusing to ship the gun barrel. I wouldn't say she committed any crime, punishable under Federal or State law. UPS might choose to discipline her as a company employee. No District Attorney is going to file criminal charges against her. [/QUOTE]
