Got package I didn't order and getting billed for it!!!
ok, not about guns but...
My wife gets the Taste of Home magazine monthly. Now they sent a cookbook we did NOT order with an invoice of $23.98. According to the invoice we don't have to pay it if we ship the book back within 30 days. WTF! Why should I pay to ship a book I never ordered!!!
Am I legally obligated to return it at my cost???!!! If no then what? Do I keep it?

Write on the package, "RETURN TO SENDER - NOT ORDERED." Drop it off at the post office, without your piece, then you're done.

Re: Got package I didn't order and getting billed for it!!!
Ditto.
If you did not order it, then you are not legally obligated to pay for it. In fact, you are not even legally obligated to return it; you may legally keep it as a free gift.
Q. Am I obligated to return or pay for merchandise I never ordered?
A. No. If you receive merchandise that you didn’t order, you have a legal right to keep it as a free gift.
(Of course, if a company makes an honest mistake, then common courtesy would seem to demand you return it, as long as they are willing to pay shipping.)

Hold on to it.
Send them a letter informing them of your 'storage rates'.
Advise them that their that their 30 day free trial of your storage facility is running out and to either submit payment for another 30 days or the book will be sold to cover their back fees.

You guys are sharp! I guess it comes down to how you feel about keeping it. Hmm, you could always donate it to the local Library(after reading it and copying what you want to keep.)
My bad.
