Misc online purchase shipping

Recently made my first ever online purchase, I bought a non restricted rifle but I might be out of town on the estimated delivery date, if so can anyone sign for it or would I need someone with a PAL to do it?

No, they only need to be over 19 and have ID for the same address. He post office doesn’t look at PALs.

Yes i understand thats what the post office requires. However the law requires the person who purchased the gun to be the one picking it up otherwise they are in unauthorized possession of a firearm

There’s surely some carve-outs for the mail carrier and all the postal system handlers that will technically have that firearm in their possession while not having a valid PAL during the whole process.

/u/Varsil care to weigh in? Or would this be worthy of a whole video?
