Talk to ANY employee at UPS or FedEx and they will tell you that frequently packages that are labeled for a different shipping company are inadvertently dropped off with them.

It’s a direct result of the ever increasing cost of shipping and the ability to quickly shop shipping rates online. My gal shops rates for all our outgoing packages and because rates can vary, she saves us a significant amount of money each year.

But they have pick up. It didn't need to be dropped off.

There are a number of reasons why a package needs to be hand delivered, even if you have pick up. Happens occasionally with my business.

A shipping manager conspiring with a UPS driver, which included the forethought to drop the package at FedEx first, to heist a single lower is a more plausible scenario to you?

Forgetting to get a receipt makes him an idiot? A CBD pen makes him an idiot? Do you know what a CBD pen is? It’s not something that gets you high.

He’s the shipping manager and, according to him he ships ~100 packages a week. If you ship over 5000 packages a year, even someone who has been a good enough employee to be promoted to shipping manager is going to make mistakes.

I’ve employed as many as 65 employees. Mistakes are made, even by the best employees.

Yes, and yes. I'm SURE it was CBD.   Also, given their relatively harsh treatment, keeping him on isn't in their best interest.  Finally - you didn't refute my point that forgetting a receipt for a FIREARM shipment was idiotic.

Did the employee know it was a lower recevier? Or was it just another box that probably had nylon/tshirts/BeowulfX optic mount in it? The stuff GBRS routinely sells.

He wasn't even supposed to ship it in the first place. UPS was supposed to pick it up.

Finally saw a video on this.  Looks like GBRS and the PD really screwed the pooch.  The icing on the cake was the last bit of bodycam footage between the cop and GBRS saying he will write the report to remove any blame to them.  If that doesn’t reek of conspiracy to cover up this incident, I don’t know what else would.

Whats weird is that the shipping manager is hand delivering packages to the shipper instead having them picked up, but maybe this was some late NDA package they were sending out.  Still weird that it apparently sat at the wrong shipper with a good return address for so long, maybe they had contacted GBRS and expected them to pick it back up?

I use to drop off late shipping at UPS when I worked at Barrett. The UPS hub was about 2 miles from my house and I would get asked to drop off items that needed shipping after UPS had already stopped by.
I would always ask for the late items to be scanned and get a receipt for them.

If the kid is as much of an idiot as you claim he is, the guy that promoted him to the shipping manager position must be even a bigger idiot.

Also, the cops identified it as a CBD pen when they returned it to him.

You mean besides not getting a receipt for a firearm that he was shipping?  Carrying the vape pen while armed (apparently?)?

That's not idiotic in your world?  If I owned a shop that dealt with firearms and my employee screwed the pooch that badly I'd let them go most likely.

As I said, the calling the police first was the wrong choice.  Firing the kid, that's grey area leaning towards "good idea" given everything that's transpired.

I missed something, if they thought he stole a lower he was shipping out, why did it come back in the mail and get delivered to the store? I just glanced over.

Question for the FFLs: is it true that if a lower is missing that you are federally mandated to obtain a police report? That was the position of their lawyer. They tried to follow the law, and were not responsible for the cops going full retard. The other thing he said was that it was their decision to call the whole thing off (i.e., elect not to prosecute) once the lower arrived.  This is part of the reason I want to see the police report. I have some of my youtube minions trying to get it now...

We have a special ATF form for lost or stolen firearms that is sent to the contact information on the bottom of the form. That is what is mandated.

I've posted in this thread 2x now about GBRS's status as an FFL holder. You're considerably more invested in this than I am, I don't give a shit about any of the people involved in this incident. My only point was several posters are focusing on the fact that it was a "firearm" that was lost, while ignoring the fact that GBRS doesn't actually advertise firearms for sale. I doubt they sell or ship very many, assuming they sell them at all.

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.

So, they claim the lower magically reappeared as soon as James was hauled away, and they're using that as evidence James was shady?
How very Democratic of them.


I was thinking it was evidence that salt and pepper beard pulled it out of a drawer as soon as James was gone.
For it to be evidence against James, James would have had to contact a partner in crime and get the (still boxed up for shipping) lower returned in minutes.
Unfortunately for salt&pepper and his lying employers, James is on cop cam the whole ten minutes and I have yet to see video of him contacting anybody.

The remaining question is, did S&P call the cops immediately to tell them he "recovered" the lower and they held James for four more hours, or did he sit on the info for four hours and the cops brought James back as soon as they found out, or some combination of both?

He said it was a CBD vape pen which is completely legal in Virginia (and also federally) if it is hemp based. If it is marijuana based CBD it would require a certification from a physician to be legal in VA, although it would still be illegal federally.

CBD is legal nearly everywhere in the US. Even in a conservative state like TN it is legal and is sold in pharmacies, grocery stores, CBD stores, convenience stores, etc.

In other words, it's no big deal, and more importantly, it's very likely not illegal.

You have posted the most ridiculous non real-life posts in this thread, so it makes sense that you would struggle with others' comments.

Those of us that own and operate businesses know that having your shipping manager forgetting a single receipt does not make him an idiot. We also know that you promote employees that perform well for your business, not idiots. These are the people that make money, hopefully lots of money, for you.

You inferred that it was a THC pen, purposely to reinforce your argument, even though it was identified by the cops themselves as a CBD pen. It's not euphoric. Like it or not, young people use vape pens and carry them in their pockets.

If the kid had been fucking up at work, since receiving more responsibilities from his promotion, then I have no problem with letting him go or demoting him. I have fired and/or demoted dozens of employees.

We will likely see how it shakes out, but so far it has been rumored that the one cop has been fired. If IA believes that there is enough evidence to fire the cop, then I'd bet a jury is going to view the conspiratorial exchange in the office as enough evidence to push the employers shit in.

It was an outgoing UPS package. He dropped it off at a Fedex store, and didn't wait for a receipt.   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.


My question is why did the UPS driver return it?  There was obviously a shipping label on it.

IDK where you came up with that, but as a UPS driver, I get packages all the time from other delivery drivers and I just scan them in as a walk up pickup. The majority of the packages I get come from the mailman because people think UPS & USPS are the same thing and always drop UPS stuff in USPS mailboxes at night.

Pretty sure the employee doesn't need any "white knighting". It's obvious:
1. He didn't steal anything.
2. GBRS acted hastily and now may find out how civil suits work.
3. The police officers acted hastily and illegally.
4. The vape pen was never tested and according to minicop the DA wasn't going to file a charge.....likely because that vape pen wasn't illegal.
5. GBRS magically having the package returned by UPS? Thats bullshit. It was in that file cabinet the whole time.
6. "Loyalty before integrity"?  More like "We have zero integrity".

As to "white knighting"? If championing the innocent is wrong , I'm guilty. Fuck GBRS and anyone who is defending them. They have no integrity.

Their lawyer told me on the phone it was delivered after the cops left and that they thought it was suspicious that the employee gets arrested and then boom the UPS guy brings it. I also would like to see proof that this happened. I'm not saying the lawyer lied about it, but somebody down the line may have. I also haven't seen video of James leaving with anything.

I still haven't gotten a copy of the police report either. This video is well past 1 mill views now, and almost hit that on twitter. Had I known, I would have spent a little more time on it, lol.

Pretty sure the employee doesn't need any "white knighting". It's obvious:
1. He didn't steal anything.
2. GBRS acted hastily and now may find out how civil suits work.
3. The police officers acted hastily and illegally.
4. The vape pen was never tested and according to minicop the DA wasn't going to file a charge.....likely because that vape pen wasn't illegal.
5. GBRS magically having the package returned by UPS? Thats bullshit. It was in that file cabinet the whole time.
6. "Loyalty before integrity"?  More like "We have zero integrity".

As to "white knighting"? If championing the innocent is wrong , I'm guilty. Fuck GBRS and anyone who is defending them. They have no integrity.

OK, so you ARE white knighting the employee, who as I said I assume you are good friends with given all the effort expended here.
Personally I don't give a shit about GBRS or the employee, I'm just bemused at all the moaning about how badly he was treated when he was the guy who screwed the pooch on the firearm shipment drop-off in the first place.

*shrug*
I hope you have the best possible day.

You think the package never left? I thought he was on video leaving with it.

He left with a package. Not sure how they would know exactly which package.

I don't need to white knight him. I'm just stating the the facts show he did not steal the package.

Yeah, sure. Two minutes on a keyboard has me gassed.

Yet here you are.

Getting a receipt doesn't seem to have been policy at GBRS. If it was, good fire. But that was never mentioned.
And failing to get a receipt doesn't mean the employee stole it. If the employee said he mistakenly dropped it off at FedEx..........well, guess what? FedEx has cameras too.

Apparently they did not cover how to ask someone a question in seal training.

Their lawyer told me on the phone it was delivered after the cops left and that they thought it was suspicious that the employee gets arrested and then boom the UPS guy brings it. I also would like to see proof that this happened. I'm not saying the lawyer lied about it, but somebody down the line may have. I also haven't seen video of James leaving with anything.

I still haven't gotten a copy of the police report either. This video is well past 1 mill views now, and almost hit that on twitter. Had I known, I would have spent a little more time on it, lol.

Yeah, find me ONE UPS driver that finds a UPS package and RETURNS to the SENDER. It doesn't happen. They scan it, then do what they are supposed to do....DELIVER to Addressee.

I would love to see the video of a UPS driver delivering that package to them. If they have video of the black kid walking out, they'll have video of the UPS driver returning the package in question.

So with you guys at GBRS its a racial thing? Is that why you keep bringing up white knighting?
That black kid could be a fucking thief that steals daily from his employer. Show me one video where he did and I'll post about why thieves are shitheels.

He's innocent, yet you have this infatuation with white knights and anyone who disagrees with you.

Which skateboard on the wall is yours, bro?

Yep. I was denied a Top Secret clearance simply for showing my ID to a police officer. No crime committed, no arrest, no charges filed, just a security guard who thought the park adjacent to the property he was guarding belonged to his employer. Police told him it was public property and left, but asked for my ID. I was denied TS for no other reason than my name was on a police report.


Yeah no.
He told the same story in a different thread. It wasn't true then and it's not true now.

lol, this is still going?

What part of I don't give a shit about either GBRS or the employee did you miss?

I'm mocking people who're defending the employee with about 1/4 the facts, I guess because GBRS has ruffled feathers or something.

Kid dropped off a firearm and didn't get a receipt.  If I ran a gunshop, that'd be it for me, you're done.  The rest of the shit is hearsay and speculation and "I saw it on the video!!!1".

Sorry you don't like the term "white knighting", but in the end I don't give a rat's ass one way or the other what you like.

Have an excellent evening.

I learned early in my life not to go off half cocked. If you are going to accuse some one of being a THIEF you better have your god damn motherfucking ducks in a motherfucking row.
And as a shop owner who mails shit you should also know sometimes it takes FOREVER to get things to show up in the system.

"White knight" is not a racial term, FYI.

Likly until there is a resolution to the illegal arrest and the unevitable civil suit against  GBRS.

Ten posts in this thread show you do.



I'm mocking people who're defending the employee with about 1/4 the facts, I guess because GBRS has ruffled feathers or something.

The rest of us are mocking you.



Kid dropped off a firearm and didn't get a receipt.  If I ran a gunshop, that'd be it for me, you're done.  

Well, you don't run a gunshop and those of us that do see this differently.


The rest of the shit is hearsay and speculation and "I saw it on the video!!!1".

Video isn't hearsay.

Having worked for years in and around gun stores I don’t agree that a single instance of that is worth firing but that’s not the problem here. The problem is that they wanted him arrested without having the whole story.

There were better ways to handle it. They could have instantly sent a new lower to the customer and done an internal investigation. Fire away for all I care but starting a process that involves me getting shackled at work in front of my coworkers and possibly friends is going to be an instant escalation to war in my eyes.
