OK guys. Want to send a handgun to my son in anther state without running afoul of the law. Can I use UPS? FEDEX? Need to go through a FFL?

    You must go through an ffl at the receiving end. You can legally send the handgun yourself but USPS will not ship a gun from anyone except an ffl dealer. If you send it by fedex or UPS they will require it to go some type overnight delivery at a high cost. ($40-$50). An ffl dealer can mail it for less than $10. You might be money ahead by paying an ffl dealer on your end to ship it for you. CAUTION: Some ffl dealers will not accept a firearm except from another dealer. Make sure the receiving dealer will accept it from an unlicensed person if you plan to ship it yourself.

    Go back to "Darn Rules on Shipping" post by nmyers on 1-21-08 11:26:30 AM. Short and exactly to the point. I made a copy for my records.
