Lopatcong Township, New Jersey resident Roger Buchko recently built himself a giant mailbox shaped like a .44 Smith & Wesson revolver. The mailbox was modeled on his own handgun and accepts mail into the muzzle.
The Northwestern New Jersey postal authorities approved Buchko's project prior to installation and continue to give the mailbox their complete support. In fact, the local postmaster described the well-crafted Magnum replica as "innovative" in an interview with The Express-Times and compared it to mailboxes shaped as fish or cartoon characters.
Buchko asserts that he did not build the mailbox as a political statement on gun rights but as a vehicle to showcase his skills as a craftsman. The semi-retired cabinet maker thought the eye-catching lawn ornament might get him some attention and win him some commissions. So best of luck to Roger!
But more importantly, where are all these mailboxes shaped like fish and cartoon characters hiding?
