FedEx guy thinks he is doing recipient a favor by leaving item with no signature. Knows that recipient is anxiously awaiting item. Most people don't want to wait all day for delivery to occur. Ends up getting his nads jammed because someone wanted to sign for the package.![]()
Yes it is inconvenient. None us however want to see the "Child Swipes Gun Left On Doorstep by Fed-X!" story on FOX News, or any other media outlet, and the resulting hysteria. Imagine Sean Hannity ragging on and on about that. Stuff like that will lead to more restrictions being placed upon us and further erode our second amendment rights. I much prefer the little inconvenience that you mentioned.
I hope the following doesn't need to be restated here. Just in case though. If we want to keep our Second Amendment Rights, we must all be good ambassadors, and in so doing we must avoid even the appearance of irresponsibility.
You seem to be ragging on FOX news, don't you think MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, and CBS would have a lot more to say about a case like this?
In case you've been avoiding FOX news lately you may want to pay closer attention.....they seem to be the only real news network doing their job...and not promoting BO's Marxist / Socialist agenda.
Our 2nd amendment rights have never been closer to being revoked as they are today....and you can thank BO and his clan of Marxists. Just watch, you will be hearing more on this very soon. [/url]
If you think Hannity is bad you really need to listen to the non-sensicle ramblings of Keith Olberman, Rachel Maddow, and Chris Matthews.....and as a topper you can watch Bill Maher on HBO. Never underestimate the power of ignorance!
Don't assume, for one minute, that I think any of the other Media outlets are any better. I absolutely do not. I am certainly not drinking the, globalist pseudo socialist corporatist, cool-aid.
But if you think that Obama is any different, than any of the other Presidents of the last few decades, then you are very sadly misinformed. Yea Obama stinks. There is no doubt about it, and yet he is continuing Bush Administration policies. Even his financial cabinet advisors are from the Bush Administration.
Obama even belongs to the same elitist organizations pushing for global government, aka world corporatist socialism, e.g. the Counsel on Foreign Relations and AIPAC, among others, that both Bush Sr & Jr and the Clintonistas also belong to. In fact BO is even related, by blood, to both the Bush and Clinton families.
I agree with the following words you quoted.
"The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all." - John F. Kennedy
"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." - Martin Luther King Jr.
This does not mean that I agree, with everything else those men said and did, however the truthfulness of their above words is yet quite self evident.
CBS ABC FOX NBC PBS alike, all have in common that they distort, selectively report, propagandize and misinform, in the best interest of the globalists who both own and control them.
All of the above Media outlets have, for decades, been used to divide, distract and confuse people, and they are a big part of the reason we are in this mess. They have stupidified, impassioned, disinformed and misled their viewers and listeners. Not one of these Media outlets, or any of their pundits, are either worthy of your loyalty or your defense of them.
Don't try to tell me we are not in the last days. Nothing is more unpopular and less likely to be believed, than the truth.
Thread hijacked and really off topic here.

Heavens sake 27 Beck.Why did you quote both posts if this concerns you? Also, why did you say nothing to Gunzilla, about his part in this?
Lets get back on track here with M&P 15-22 discussion.
Thanks all.
. In response to posts made about a Fed-X driver leaving a 15-22, I assume in a box like mine saying SMITH & WESSON on it in big block letters, unattended on a doorstep instead of having the recipient sign for it as instructed, I made a relevant comment about how bad it would be for gun rights, if Sean Hannity went to town on FOX News, about some child swiping that package off a doorstep and what could have happened.
Holy long sentence.
FYI, S&W instructs the sender to send the item in a plain box. S&W returns the item in a plain box.
Holy long sentence.

People of planet earth.
I did not intend to make this a political thread. In response to posts made about a Fed-X driver leaving a 15-22, I assume in a box like mine saying SMITH & WESSON on it in big block letters, unattended on a doorstep instead of having the recipient sign for it as instructed, I made a relevant comment about how bad it would be for gun rights, if Sean Hannity went to town on FOX News, about some child swiping that package off a doorstep and what could have happened.
Now in retrospect, I suppose I should have said the same referencing Keith Olberman or some other arrogant, smarmy, smart ash liberal instead, because Gunzilla, took personal umbrage about me using FOX, instead of CBS, or one of the other electronic sewer pipes.
So then I also pointed out, that all media sewer pipes are just that, and none are any better or worse than any of the others. Some people, cannot or will not see the obvious, and the PC Police are the PC Police, no matter what "side" of the divide they think they are on.
You can just mush your dog sled upstream, and go see "the scene of the crime" for yourself, if you like.
That is all.
Carry on.
Instead of a new message I'll post here and mention that I'm a new user and just last night 'paid for' my new 15-22! After reading thru a few threads about the problems everyone's been having, I was actually happy they didn't have one in stock to give me right away. They said they get them directly from S&W and so maybe they'll send me one that has some specs already updated??? Or maybe they'll just send me the 2 free mags right away knowing I'll be sending it in soon
Anywho, it's my first rifle (have 9mm pistol and 12ga shotgun) and so look forward to finding the right ammo, having fun on the range, and then finding a scope of some sort (need to find info on this) for squirrel and rabbit hunting!
Anywho, I hope to be reading some good threads and contributing now and then! Thanks!
FYI, $500 at Scheels, -$25 event discount and will get $25 gift card (so kind of $450 +tax)

Ha, yeah the first 4-5 pages were fun to read but then I had to start skipping some posts and was surprised it was still going on on the last page.
To get even more on topic I would love to know if the OP's is still working well after getting it back. I was real happy to hear all the replies about people having good luck sending them in and getting them fixed and returned in a timely manner. That made me feel better about the purchase.
