My XDS was shipped to my home last week. My 10 year old daughter was allowed to sign for and receive the gun. Does anybody know if any laws were broken by the carrier?

From the UPS website:
The shipper must use Delivery Confirmation Adult Signature Required service for each package containing a firearm, including a handgun, and affix a UPS label requesting an adult signature upon delivery.
I worked as a seasonal driver for UPS recently. I certainly wouldn't deliver a package requiring an adult signature if no adult was present to sign for it. We hand many bottles of wine that couldn't be delivered around Christmas because no adult was in to take delivery.
I imagine the other shipping companies have to follow the same regulations and procedures. If the package was clearly labelled as containing a firearm then it should not have been delivered. That is a sackable offence. It's up to you if you want to get the employee fired.
