You'll probably need to go through an FFL.

Don't need FFL since it's an inheritance/estate. I think shipping (UPS) would work.

It became his handgun the instant she died. So he can ship it to himself.

Declare it in checked bag unloaded. Only problem in Chicago is if it is a semi auto that holds more than 10 rounds

Forgetting about estate issues and whether he can just legally walk away wit it-if he flies home through O"hare it won't matter unless something weird happens and he gets stuck overnight, then he has a problem where he cannot pick up the guncase from the airline. Honestly he would probably get away with it, what are the odds he will get stuck overnight.
I don't know about shipping it to himself, if he is the legal owner I assume he could

I wouldn't risk taking it into IL. Ship it by UPS to himself. |

Rather, Fed Ex or Brown will accept handguns - though their corporate policy usually dictates overnight. AND - the counter-monkies at Brown usually are CLUELESS about their own policies on shipping handguns. Expect to have to do some arguing/explaining/wrangling, etc. |

I went through O'hare on my way to Indiana one time with several Glocks/regular cap mags in a checked case. No problem.

When my FIL passed away I helped my wife and BIL settle his estate. Personal property was doled out to the grandkids and family. I was given his pocket watch and an air pistol. The watch was worth about $300 and the air pistol was worth about $75. (I had the watch cleaned and polished and gave it to his grandson for a college graduation gift. I'm holding the air pistol for the same grandson.) There were a lot of other knick-knacks that were passed to folks in the family. The financial part of the estate (the house, investments and cash) took about a year to settle. |

You can even ship to yourself " in care of" someone else until you get there. |

The hub in Memphis WOULD NOT allow me to ship a rifle OR handgun to myself unless it was broken down, incomplete and inoperable. I had to take everything home, disassemble and repackage before they would ship it, what a pain in the ass! |

We're still settling the damn estate, but my wife got his guns right after the funeral. |

You can use UPS, Fed Ex, or any other carrier to ship handguns to yourself. In the future always check into the laws yourself. There is many misconceptions among gun people. |

A person may ship a firearm to himself or herself in care of another person in the State where he or she intends to hunt or engage in any other lawful activity. The package should be addressed to the owner. Persons other than the owner should not open the package and take possession of the firearm. |

Nevertheless, OP might have better luck shipping in 2 seperate packages (one with just the stripped frame). |

I'll let him know he can ship it to himself care of the office. I'll just put the box on his desk until he returns. |

Just check it and fly. You'll need a TSA approved lock (a normal keyed PadLock works) and no, they won't let it get lost. If it does it becomes a BIG issue for the TSA since the Federales get involved.Ariba.
