Dr.Hess Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Instructions for when the Marines guarded the mail: The Navy Secretary told his new detachment of 50-plus Marines and officers: "To the Men of the Mail Guard, you must when on guard duty, keep your weapons in hand and, if attacked, shoot and shoot to kill. If two Marines are covered by a robber, neither must put up his hands, but both must immediately go for their guns. One may die, but the other will get the robber, and the mail will get through. When our Corps goes in as guards over the mail, that mail must be delivered, or there must be a Marine dead at the post of duty. There can be no compromise." 1. To prevent the theft or robbery of any United States mails entrusted to my protection. 2. To inform myself as to the persons who are authorized to handle the mails entrusted to my protection and to allow no unauthorized persons to handle such mails or to have access to such mails. 3. To inform myself as to the persons who are authorized to enter the compartment (railway coast, auto truck, wagon, mail room, etc.) where mails entrusted to my protection are placed, and to allow no unauthorized person to enter such compartment. 4. In connection with Special Order No. 3, to prevent unauthorized persons loitering in the vicinity of such compartment or taking any position from which they might enter such compartment by surprise or sudden movement. 5. To keep my rifle, shotgun, or pistol always in my hand (or hands) while on watch. 6. When necessary in order to carry out the foregoing orders, to make the most effective use of my weapons, shooting or otherwise killing or disabling any person engaged in the theft or robbery, or the attempted theft or robbery of the mails entrusted to my protection. The FAQ section of the Mail Guards' training manual tells you everything you need to know about how Marines would respond to this robbery problem, once the gangster tried to break in: "Q. Suppose he [the robber] is using a gun or making threats with a gun in trying to escape? A. Shoot him. Q. Suppose the thief was apparently unarmed but was running away? A. Call halt twice at the top of your voice, and if he does not halt, fire one warning shot; and if he does not obey this, shoot to hit him. Q. Is it permissible to take off my pistol while on duty; for instance, when in a mail car riding between stations? A. Never take off your pistol while on duty. Keep it loaded, locked, and cocked while on duty. Q. Is there a general plan for meeting a robbery? A. Yes; start shooting and meet developments as they arise thereafter. Q. If I hear the command 'Hands Up,' am I justified in obeying this order? A. No; fall to the ground and start shooting. Q. Is it possible to make a successful mail robbery? A. Only over a dead Marine."

AzRednek Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Doc’s Post reminds me of a vender I met and got friendly with at The Great Southwest Gunshow in Los Angeles. He obtained an old mail rail car in an auction. As he tore it down with the idea of making it into a restaurant. He discovered a Colt Lightning revolver, 1897 Winchester 12ga, Eddystone rifle and the grand prize a BAR. He also got a couple of bayonet. He reported finding the BAR to the Sheriff and deputies showed up. The vendor had completely stripped the BAR down for parts and intended to surrender just the receiver. The deputies weren’t satisfied, not just the BAR they demanded all the guns and parts. He showed the deputies paperwork stating everything inside the rail car was his as the successful bidder. The cops called ATF and from what he told me the agents didn’t mind taking just the barreled receiver telling the deputies the other guns and the BAR parts were his to keep. He also had a brass spittoon with a USPOD property tag I wanted but quickly lost interest as he was asking 250 for it. I know from reading about Arizona history. Marines were sent in to protect the trains from Mexican bandits in southern Az after several bloody robberies. The bandits were after registered mail and occasionally robbed passengers of money and jewelry. After the war started the Marines were reduced to a few and the Army eventually took it over. Armed soldiers rode along with trains until the end of WW2. Postal workers that sorted mail on the journey were also armed. Don’t know if it were personally owned guns or if they were issued. Can you imagine a disgruntled postal worker with a BAR!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A former friend that worked for the Justice Dept told us that fed judges were hard on anybody that violated the NFA. The prosecutors insisted on jail time and the felony conviction not being reduced. He told us professionals with clean records might only spend 30 days in a fed prison but the felony conviction was on their record for life. He said most were convicted after being caught using the so called auto sear in AR15’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
