You can legally yell fire in a crowded movie theater if there's a fire in the crowded movie theater.
In most states you can own a fully automatic machine gun if you pay a $200 federal tax and pass a background check which takes about 6 months. Production and importation of machine guns was banned in this country several decades ago and they are now extremely expensive to buy. There's a large indoor shooting range here in Orlando where you can rent a machine gun and spray a target with bullets. Considering the cost of ammo these days, I'll pass.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

I'm in NY where you will soon have to get a permit to buy steak knives.

So I’ve been going to the post office 2-3x a week to ship coins using their ground advantage w/tracking.
Question: has anyone encountered the same or similar situation, and what was your reaction/ answer?
When I send registered insured to PCGS. When my package is insured for many thousands, they always ask what is inside. I tell them rare coins, my home address is XYZ and that I store my valuable, rare coins at home without a safe.
In Utah, thieves don't break into your home. In Utah, thieves do stealing the lawful way: shaking your hand in a business deal.
Bless you and thank you for your service. That’s some tough and stressful work for those that actually do choose to work. I have no doubt you were one of those. 👍🏻🇺🇸📬
Thank you sir. That's very kind.
As an old PTF veteran myself I must admit that your having survived 31 years with the PO certainly explains the level of tolerance you consistently show here.

Or nail clippers
It's only half funny. Two guys were in the coin store and spent 20 minutes trying to decide if a specific pocket knife was legal or illegal in NY.

You can register and own your howitzer under the same regulations mentioned previously, I believe.

You do "pick nits", but more importantly, you never allow yourself to stand corrected. You either go back and qualify your incorrect assertion to try to make it fit the truth, or you accuse others of "picking nits".
If you are always "right" then you are never learning. That's no fun, either for you or the people around you.
I'm in NY where you will soon have to get a permit to buy steak knives.
Maybe that's a necessary thing in that particular situation.
In any case, you might consider your own advice that you gave to someone else in this thread:
Next time you run out of facts, just drop the thread...
I'll say this and it will be the end of it for me. You're not worth trying to explain something to you.
Have you read the Fourth Amendment? My guess would be you have not. Read it. No entity, business, branch of government, Postal Inspector, etc. can take away our constitutional rights by writing "policy". It is dangerous to our rights for those of you to think that way just because the gov't "says so".
This flies in my front yard below the US Flag. It's a Gadsden Flag. It says "DONT TREAD ON ME". If you don't understand, or know what that means, look it up.
Insulting me isn't helpful. The links I provided mention the 4th amendment and also specify that only first class is considered private. So, take it up with USPS and USPIS from whose websites I took the links.
So you can quote the Constitution, but you can't yell "fire" in a theater and you can't buy a machine gun. There are limitations, including the TSA requiring me to empty my pockets at the airport and X-Ray my baggage without a warrant. So, in fact, they can and do write policy that would apparently violate your fourth amendment rights. Next time you're in the airport, please bring a gun and refuse to go through the TSA line and let us know how that works out for you.
Next time you run out of facts, just drop the thread instead of resorting to insults which do not help the discussion at all
Actually, you can yell fire in a theatre. If nobody reacts or if it's empty it happened without consequence. And believe me, you can absolutely 100% buy a machine gun if you have a few grand and aren't a felon. You can also buy grenades, missiles, tanks, fighter aircraft, artillery, and all kinds of good stuff if you get the licensing and got the dough. I have a very nice LMT grenade launcher I'm about to order.
Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.
The $200 tax stamp that they affix to an approved full-auto application is itself collectable. I have not checked lately but some years ago they were bringing between $25 and $50.
