Although I find it interesting that no one mentioned that they broke a federal law by opening a package that clearly wasn't addressed to them.

USPS is federal, UPS & FedEx are private, common carriers. I think the laws depend on the carrier.
Even with USPS though, if they said they accidentally opened it before they realized it wasn't theirs, then contacted USPS, they're not going to be charged with a crime. If they kept the weapon, then yeah, it's gonna get messy.
