Is it legal to ship a handgun direct to an out of state dealer (with an FFL) ?
Thanks in advance.

    Yes, but you can't use USPS. Only an FFL dealer can use them. You must use UPS or FedEx. Also, make sure the receiving FFL will accept a handgun from a non-licensee.

    A FFL can receive a firearm directly from a non-licensed person- altho some seem to think they cannot. The FFL will need ID in order to log the gun in to his books (copy of driver's license, etc). If shipping a handgun, and you are NOT a FFL, you will need to send UPS or FedEx Next day Air, which is expensive. A FFL can MAIL a handgun to another FFL.

    New York State has a state law that a FFL can only receive a handgun from another FFL or holder of a NY pistol permit.

    New York state, now also has a law, that if I am not mistaken, that ANY firearm(including long guns) shipped, has to go thru an FFL. We seriously need to rid Albany of the Hitleristic Elites that squat there.

    FWIW you might be better off having a local FFL ship it for you thru the USPS after paying a fee to the FFL. Overnight air thru Fedex or UPS can be quite costly.
