Yep, Cap'n Dave nailed it on definition of "Mail & More" places. And it can be a tough biz, but I've had two CHL students over the years who operate 'em and seem to do OK - with a lot of hard work and reasonable rent in a high traffic location.

And yea, they are somewhat more expensive than dealing with big shippers directly or the post office. Pricing sometimes like the difference between a regular grocery store and a convenice store. But I pay it just for the "convenience" of leaving the handgun where it is.

I kinda go with the theory "If it's gray, stay away." Very rare need for me to have need to go in a post office - particulary when there are so many independent "Mail & More" type places.
