Title: Need some clever ideas on how to conseal a gun for shipping.
Post by: mr9mm on November 06, 2011, 07:06 pm
I live in Egypt at the moment and getting a weapon here for personal protection is damn near impossible. A Legal weapon costs 100X the original cost not to mention I am not a citizen I am only married to one so I am inelegable to get the licence to carry a weapon legally.
Normally I wouldn't care much about carrying a gun here but as everyone has surely seen there is anarchy here as far as the government is concerned and I only see it getting worse. 

There are literally no police to speak of. Even though Egypt is pretty tame place to be even without police presence being an American with 4 American kids here in the middle of all this shit makes me nervous to say the least. So needless to say I want a gun for personal everyday protection so that in the unlikely event some random idiot decides that myself, my wife or my children might be a good bargaining chip to make some money or whatever I have a means to protect myself and my family.

That being said, I have kinda of ruled out the idea of finding a gun locally because the only way to get one is to go to the same criminals I'm trying to avoid in the first place.

So I had the idea that I would buy one here on SR or even get a family member to ship one to me from the states but the problem is it getting detected in the mail. I have some ideas but I need some help to come up with a clever idea on how to get it here without detection.

So, my ideas so far are this.

Break down the gun as much as possible.
90% of the smaller parts I am positive will pass through no problem. Trigger assembly, barrel, screws, springs etc will go through easily as random motorcycle parts or something. 

I will ship all the small pieces in a small bag or box separately then the rest of the gun in different packages even using different carriers.

This is the problem... The lower part of a gun (say a Glock) Still looks like a gun even when broken down and without a trigger.

I thought of buying two and super gluing them together and painting them bright pink or green or something to make them look less gun like.
I did a mock up in photoshop below but even still I think it still looks like a gun.

That's what I got so far. Another guy mentioned planting the receiver into a clay pot, let it dry then paint it and ship it as a pot or something.

So, yea that's what I got any ideas would be appreciated.
