Canada Post revealed to Narcity that the weapon was given to the child without an adult signature due to the company's "Knock, Drop and Go" rule.
"It appears that at some point during the delivery process, a loose shipping label got affixed to another parcel," Canada Post stated.
"Our employee delivered the item following the instructions on that shipping label, which did not require Proof of Age," it added.
