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.

thats actually quite funny

It must've been sent to him unintentionally.

no shit sherlock.

have you ever tried robbing a bank with an mp3 player ?

no, but i am sure I could find some music bad enough to do the job.

The sender just took the wrong peice of equipment

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.

yeah, I guess we can say that !! :winkwink:

Not yet... doesnt that void your warranty?

So did the guy who bought a gun get an MP3 player instead?

Personally I would of kept the + license as a souvenir :winkwink:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

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'.
