Why in the world is the Postal Service buying ammo? We have a small postal police force and postal inspectors, BUT they already have guns and ammo.

Maybe I'll be packing some heat soon. :shoot: Hehehe. Make darn sure you keep your mean pesky dogs behind fences or I'll bring doom on them.

Hehe

I was a "temporary" or transitional clerk/carrier in the Boston area for 5 years.

Tension mounted. In June 1988 a clerk in Chelsea, Massachusetts killed a co-worker before committing suicide. During a 13 hour siege in New Orleans in December 1988, a mail handler, holding his ex-girlfriend hostage, shot his supervisor in the face and killed him. Three others were wounded and one was blinded in one eye. In May 1989 Alfred J. Hunter, a 42 year old Boston mail handler, murdered his ex-wife. He then stole a two-seater Cessna airplane and strafed the city's streets with an AK-47 for three hours. The Postal Service attempted to cover up these incidents and released few details. Rumors circulated that they were the work of psycho-vets. More and more pressure was being placed on postmasters to rid their workforce of Vietnam veterans.

I worked at the Chelsea IMC (incoming mail center) for a couple of years, also worked at the GMF in South Station, downtown Boston. The IMC is where the mail handler who stole the plane worked and the GMF is one of the building. the guy shot at. The GMF building is about 1/4 mile long, as measured by LLV (the postal rigs they used at the time). How many folks know how to steal a plane, let alone fly it, and then have an AK to shoot with? Dayle is in good company for sure. :cheers:

The guy I quote is apparently a Vietnam vet, (didn't read the whole thing) but apparently Marvin Runyan (Postmaster General at the time) didn't know of that bias because he mandated that the PO give vets hiring preference. I know because I lost out in job interviews to them.
