Student was sent gun instead of MP3 player

A Canadian student who bought an MP3 player on the internet auction site eBay, was sent a handgun instead.

Brandon Buchan, an English student at the University of Saskatchewan, was sent an unloaded .22-calibre Smith & Wesson gun and a licence by mistake.

A Canadian customs official said not all parcels coming from the US were X-rayed at the border.

The package, sent by courier, was labelled as containing an MP3 player, says BBC News Online.

Mr Buchan told the Star Phoenix newspaper: "I was really shocked to see it was a gun. I'm not a hit man. I was mostly confused about it all. I thought 'How did this end up here?', and I figured it must just be a mistake."

The third-year student called the police, who removed the weapon. He also e-mailed the shop, who are arranging for his MP3 player to be sent to him.

Mr Buchan says he'll keep a photocopy of the gun licence as a souvenir of the incident.

What kind of idiot cant tell the difference between a gun and an MP3 player. You'd think if you were selling both you would be EXTRA careful to make sure everyone got the proper package.

Maybe it was the mp3 player, but looked like gun.
He could try to put it's barrel against his ear and push the 'play button'.
