If asked by a postal employee if it is a firearm the correct answer is yes. Don't be a dumbass. They are entitled to inspect it to assure it meets the regulations, long gun, unloaded, no ammo.
Can he mail it without being there? I don't know. Interesting question. Pre-labled with his info and you are just dropping it off? I'd do it.
Not correct... they are absolutely NOT allowed to demand to check the firearm or package without PC. Imagine the liability of stating something was okay and finding it was not or vice versa...
They are allowed to ask just the the questions about hazardous, flammable, etc.
