SC readers share photos of their unusual mailboxes

“I’m a retired welding and industrial maintenance teacher. I’m the former chairman of the Sandhills Area NRA. I’m a competitive shooter, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources hunter education instructor and a CWP holder. Also, captain of Chesterfield Fire Department. I designed and built this Glock mailbox about six years ago. Well over a thousand folks have stopped by to take photos. Even Miss South Carolina came by and had her photo made with it a couple of years ago.” John Hill, Chesterfield
