Still curious how shipping a firearm out for "modification" would work in NJ

Well, as we know, in NJ, possession of a handgun without a permit to carry is generally illegal, and only made legal through various narrowly-tailored exemptions. There is no exemption for "transporting to a common carrier for delivery to a place of repair". There is an exemption for "transport to/from a place of repair, for the purpose of repair".
While one might be able to make an argument that transporting a pistol to UPS or FedEx, with the intent of shipping it to a place of repair, is covered by the exemption - I wouldn't want to bet the farm (or 3.5 years of my life, or my 2A rights) on it.
What I did, when I had to send a Springfield XDs back for a recall, was to pack it up and call FedEx for a pickup. That way, I never left my property with the firearm.
