"nine point eight"
I took delivery of a rather nice late model LP53 today.
It was delivered by PF48.
It was also delivered cocked with a pellet in the breech
Fortunately, the seller texted me to say he may have left a pellet in.
I asked if it was cocked too. He apologised saying he didn't know!
Forewarned, I opened the parcel with extra caution and safely discharged the pistol.
Potential for a serious accident there.

scary and surreal in equal measure...
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

I had the same with a Daisy bb gun.
Gassed loaded and ready to go!

A Sharp Innova I took delivery off a few years ago,I'd asked the seller, does it hold air?.
As if to prove a point it arrived cocked and charged.
Could have caused quite a stir at at the parcelforce sorting depot

Just goes to show: Never take anyone's word that a gun in unloaded. Always check yourself.

Indeed. And always handle a gun as if it was loaded and ready to go.Originally Posted by Josie & John

Too damn right,I reminded a friend that I couldn't help but notice that after a lengthy conversation with another shooter he'd put his HW8O back in its slip cocked and loaded.
Na! was the reply,he promptly shot a hole through the slip.

I was visiting knibbs's for some air gun spares a number of years ago and the fellow on the till described to me how a chap had recently come in with a firearm for sale.When it was inspected it was found to be cocked and with a round in the chamber!!
The careless fellow was immediately escorted from the premises and told to never return,understandably.

I once had to 'remind' an ex serviceman to keep his Webley Tracker pointed downrange whilst at the club. He was waving it about with his finger on the trigger at the time and tried to assure me it was fine, as the rifle was not loaded. He then pulled the trigger to prove his point and made a neat hole in the roof of the club's covered range.
