[QUOTE="Zowert, post: 5603160, member: 71957"] Talking to my uncle about it a little more, he says he chats with this driver often (and probably annoys the crap out of him). During the summer he will show up to his village in a normal brown, sounds like a P500. Unc will see him almost every day during the warmer months, he brings various supplies, medication and even stuff from Amazon. UPS and the Postal Service are the only carriers you’ll see in this part of Alaska. No FedEx, DHL, Amazon, etc. During the winter my uncle will only see the UPS guy (he knows him by name but I don’t want to drop it here) once maybe twice a week. He shows up in a 4x4 pick up with snow tires and a UPS canopy on back. I showed him a picture of the 4x4 that’s used in Colorado and he said it’s different, not as bulky. Also interesting, USPS rides out to their village on a snowmobile to deliver their mail every other day during the winter. When the weather gets really bad they won’t see anyone, sometimes for weeks. Back to the gun. I asked why he doesn’t conceal it and was told he probably does during the summer (if he’s even carrying) because my uncle never sees it on him then. It’s only during the winter he will have a pistol on his belt. Weird? Maybe not, he wears such a heavy coat that concealing it makes it harder to draw. Makes sense. Also, this driver had a very close encounter with a bear while eating his lunch one day. Didn’t go into detail about it but said it was aggressive enough to where he tossed his food and booked it. After that he started carrying a short barreled pistol grip 12 gauge shotgun in the cab, then switched to having a Glock on his person. Probably for good reason. I can’t tell you if all this is true, it’s just what I’m being told. I don’t find it too unbelievable. Looking at some pictures of my uncle’s cabin and the surrounding village, I’m surprised UPS even operates in the area. It is straight up wilderness, like wolves and grizzly bear territory. Wait, I can’t believe anyone even lives out there. It’s mostly Native Americans, my uncle is one of only two white guys out there. Near by is a USGS station that’s only occupied during the fall and winter, which UPS delivers to often. Yeah that’s about it. [/QUOTE]
