Seems the employer already sort of had it in for this guy. Is that with or without cause? Who knows?
Anywhere I've worked, if I did something similar to this guy, I'd be given the benefit of the doubt and the police would not be involved until/unless it was somehow proven that my story was false. The fact they shitcanned him anyway even when it was show to just be a shipping error tells me the employer is a fucking asshole (and this guy's better off elsewhere) or they never really wanted the guy there in the first place. Again, why that is is anyone's guess. |

It sounds like someone stepped on their dick. Stepping on your dick hurts so much you generally don’t do it a second time.
My guess is this one is going to be expensive. |

In a nutshell an employee dropped off a package with a BCM lower at the wrong shipping company and when the employer didn't see the tracking number as active two weeks later then proceeds to call the police claiming the employee stole it? Even after the package is delivered (proving the guy didn't steal the lower), the manager doubles down and still has the employee's stuff all packed up and fired him. The company claims they are "Tier 1"...yeah tier 1 douche bags.

Quoted: Those guys have always come off as cocky douchebags. But the employee seems like he has no fucks to give about anything. Maybe he doesn't, and it was good to fire him. Or maybe he's just super chill. My initial thought is how can a shipping manager not decipher a shipping label? But I guess if you really do pick up tons of boxes from piles and drop them at shippers day in and day out it would be easy to get complacent, this pile = this shipper, why bother reading the label. Or if you’re smoking weed at work all day. It doesn’t seem like a great place to work. |

Not an FFL but I worked for one for 10 years and have dealt w/ thousands of packages at other jobs. I've seen packages never show any tracking that were delivered. Tracking info can be odd and irregular. I'd never fire someone for theft or have them arrested just because one package had been shipped two weeks ago, didn't show tracking info, and wasn't delivered. It would take way more than that to fire a good employee. |

I would go to wherever he supposedly dropped it off and inquire about it. I would wait a day or two to see what happened with the package. Going from zero to full retard like they did tells me they had it in for the guy already, or they are just tremendously stupid assholes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: edit: he was arrested. Watch the tiktok which explains it better than the instagram reel. From what I can make out, black kid works at GBRS and was told to drop off a BCM lower at the post office. He was seen leaving with the box and returning without the box. His employer then checked tracking and saw that the box wasn't scanned in so they called the police for felony theft of the firearm. Police arrive and arrest him at the behest of his employer. Cut to a new scene. The kid is let out of police custody because while he was detained/arrested? the mailman brought back the package due to the police investigation???. The douchebag employer still fired him and had all his shit packed up in a box. Hope kid gets paid, the employer seems like a prick. He brought it to UPS as opposed to FedEx (or vice versa). That was the issue. |

“It’s just a BCM lower”
A firearm went missing. The ATF frowns on that sort of thing. Good police call, good firing. “How does a licensee report the theft or loss of firearms? A theft or loss of firearms must be reported to your local police as well as to ATF within 48 hours after the discovery. Licensees should notify ATF on the 24–hour, 7 days a week toll free line at 1 (888) 930-9275 and by preparing and submitting ATF Form 3310.11, Federal Firearms Licensee Firearms Inventory Theft/Loss Report.” |

You can take their word for it, do your own investigation or legwork, hire the Pinkertons to solve the problem or whatever. Either the money is missing, the job wasn't done, the thing broke for some reason, something wasn't delivered. As the employer you're responsible for everything good and bad. In this case some people on social media will be mad at them, they lost an employee, that employee was detained and had a bad day after a pretty big fuck up imho. They didn't lose a firearm though and their customer should recieve it, which is a positive. |

Knowing that a company's owners are over-reactionary shit heads and that therefore I'm likely to get fucked over if I have a problem with their goods/services is a valid reason to decide that I don't want what they're selling. If this story serves any purpose, it's to let people know that the folks running this company are probably assholes. Since their product is essentially themselves (assholes conducting firearms training), and this is a site primarily dedicated to firearms, the story is certainly germane. Your level of caring is irrelevant. |

Since UPS didn't get it, they didn't scan it in, and fedex couldn't scan in/ship the UPS package. The fedex store gave it to a passing UPS driver, who brought it back to the originating address. In the mean time, since the package disappeared while in his possession, he got arrested. He got "unarrested" as soon as the package came back. He was then fired. If this is the digest: The company should have better shipping and receiving SOPs - especially for firearms. One doesn’t simply drop off a lower without some type of chain of custody record… whether that is as simple as a receipt with a tracking number. Not saying the kid should be fired - especially if this is a first time offense. Sounds like a shit company at its core. ETA… wait, did dude say he was “the shipping manager”? If so, their job titles are way inflated, or that would be a definite reason to be cut sling load. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Well, duh. Knowing that a company's owners are over-reactionary shit heads and that therefore I'm likely to get fucked over if I have a problem with their goods/services is a valid reason to decide that I don't want what they're selling. If this story serves any purpose, it's to let people know that the folks running this company are probably assholes. Since their product is essentially themselves (assholes conducting firearms training), and this is a site primarily dedicated to firearms, the story is certainly germane. Your level of caring is irrelevant. I don't have a dog in this fight, just thought I'd point this out as a funny take, true or not.  I'm an over-reactionary shit head, and everyone here is kinda doing the same thing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: edit: he was arrested. Watch the tiktok which explains it better than the instagram reel. From what I can make out, black kid works at GBRS and was told to drop off a BCM lower at the post office. He was seen leaving with the box and returning without the box. His employer then checked tracking and saw that the box wasn't scanned in so they called the police for felony theft of the firearm. Police arrive and arrest him at the behest of his employer. Cut to a new scene. The kid is let out of police custody because while he was detained/arrested? the mailman brought back the package due to the police investigation???. The douchebag employer still fired him and had all his shit packed up in a box. Hope kid gets paid, the employer seems like a prick. That is ridiculous. Hope they go out of business. It is pretty normal for the post office to not scan them properly or immediately. The police were idiots to arrest for that alone, if in fact they did. |

Ok so from the mouth of the accused, in the TikTok video.
He dropped off a package. It contains a firearm. Two weeks go by according to the accused. They ask him what happened, he says “I really don’t know check the cameras” A firearm was missing for more than two weeks, guy had no idea where it went. This wasn’t a mere hours passed situation this was weeks. They asked the guy and he admitted he had no idea. Holy shit. The amount of what if and what I would have done in this thread is disheartening. Is there no accountability anymore? |

Two weeks going by does put it in a different perspective, but I still want to know what did they actually ask the guy…just if he dropped it off or where he dropped it off? |

Being a poor employee and an idiot isn't illegal. Firing him is fine, trying to arrest is ridiculous. In the end they were wrong and it wasn't stolen. Fuck that business. They don't deserve to be in business. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Bigger problem is, how dumb do you have to be, boss tells you take this to UPS facility, and you dump it in a Fedex drop box? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Other thing I don't get (and I was an internet manager for a top 10 gunbroker seller ) Why was he hauling the package to FedEx, ups , USPS , Spee Dee , whoever ? If you do any sort of volume beyond a handful a day , you have the shipper come to you for a pick up . The whole thing just reeks of amateur hour stupidity from all sides Bigger problem is, how dumb do you have to be, boss tells you take this to UPS facility, and you dump it in a Fedex drop box? It was labeled for ups but was in a take to FedEx slot. Employee probably never read the label. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Him being a fuck up is no excuse for them not asking basic questions like where he dropped off the package at. It’s painfully obvious their tier 1 folks have no idea how to handle basic communication skills. And they claim to be highly skilled trainers? In what? You know this wasn't handled by the owners, DJ and Cole, right? They have over 30 employees or some shit. Some middle man in the company called LE on the dude. |

I'm an over-reactionary shit head, and everyone here is kinda doing the same thing. I don't think "I'm not inclined to do business with this company given how they have apparently treated their own employees" (since this story also made some people aware of their previous problems with another employee) is an "over" reaction. If you disagree, and think that people who find their actions unreasonable and who don't want to deal with them as a result, are themselves "over-reactionary shit heads" well, we'll just have to agree to disagree. |
