Shipping Question
« on: January 25, 2008, 11:15:32 AM »
Hello folks.
I'm sure this question has been asked a gillion and one times, and i did a search and didn't find any info and I'm really aggravated right now because I went to send my grandsons handi for repairs and the Post Office and  Fed ex said you can only ship ffl to ffl.
Is this in fact the truth? Ive shipped a firearm in the past which was several years ago and didnt have to have an ffl.
Please advise on how you folk do your shipping.
Thanks in advance
Morgan

I don't believe that to be true, unless I missed the change somehow, but shippers are pretty overzealous (and uninformed) about this issue.
I think you need to just package things up and don't tell. :-X

Of course guns are dangerous... if they weren't they wouldn't be good for anything!

It is not true, just box it up and send it USPS, don't put what it is on the outside and they cannot ask you what is in it, only if it is dangerous, which it isn't.  You can send it to the factory or a gunsmith for work with no FFL required.  Larry

A gun is just like a parachute, if you ever really need one, nothing else will do.

A non-licensee can ship a long gun by USPS, Fedex or UPS as long as it complys with ATF rules, IE: being shipped to themselves for sporting purposes, within there own state to a non-licensee or to an FFL in any state if it's for repair or being transferred to a new owner, a non-licensee can even ship a long gun to a non-licensee in any state as for temporary sporting use. Everything is stated in the ATF FAQs at the link in the previous thread below. ;)
