Good job on the restraint, for several reasons, especially with anything "GUN!" involved. The media being what it is, you'd be crucified, regardless of how justified your actions might be. That's some total bull on their part for doing that and yes, it very much is a Federal offense. If the locals won't take it or kick it to the Postal Inspector, do so yourself. Most of those guys (Postal Inspectors) are squared-away individuals who don't really have a lot to occupy their time, so they tend to jump at the chance to get some "field" time, lol! Not saying that they don't work hard, as all of the one's I've dealt with are great people, just that they don't get a lot of opportunity to work cases and make things happen. Hope things work out for you and nice choice on the 1911. Have a few of those myself and while I don't carry them, they are fun to shoot and nostalgic to have in the safe; classics and all.
