Thanks for the help again Who is `"they"? Any interstate shipment of a firearm must be sent to an FFL. Some exceptions are made for firearms being returned by a manufacturer to the owner after repair. Only firearms dealers or manufacturers may use the US Postal Service to mail a handgun. But ANYONE can mail a rifle or shotgun through the USPS, see section 601 para 11.3 of the Domestic Mail Manual: http://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/601.htm#wp1065404. Dealers & manufacturers must file a USPS Form 1508 when we ship a handgun, there is no special paperwork, forms or hoops to jump through when anyone (dealer or not) ships a long gun. |

He is a non ffl trying to send to me w/ ffl from a different state. Again, who is "they"? And what is he trying to send you? If it is a long gun he can legally mail directly to your FFL. If it is a handgun your friend would need to have his FFL mail to your FFL. It is a violation of Federal law to mail (USPS) or ship (UPS, FedEx) directly to you. |
