Handguns can be shipped from an individual but MUST go to a FFL.
Long guns are the same UNLESS the person receiving is in the same state .... then can be sent direct. Now, this is a general rule and I'm sure some states have wacky rules. Also, this doesn't even bring up how/with whom you ship through. That's a whole 'nother discussion. |

well... I know a guy who had an individual selling him a long gun screw up
and send it to his place instead of his FFL (this guy repeatedly emailed and told him about this problem but the individual refused to change the shipping address) He called his FFL to tell them of the individuals mistake before and after he recieved the firearm His FFL told him if the individual had provided the necessary documents for a bill of sale Then there was no need for the firearm to be brought to the FFL Needless to say he was shocked about the FFL's response to this situation The FFL is a well respected and reputable company this is only one guys experience please take it to a FFL everytime regardless what they say |

So long guns are ok person to person within the state. Pistols go to FFL.

Q: May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U.S. Postal Service?
A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another State. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. The Postal Service recommends that long guns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. [18 U.S.C. 1715, 922(a)(3), 922(a)(5) and 922 (a)(2)(A)] Q: May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by common or contract carrier? A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract carrier to a resident of his or her own State or to a licensee in any State. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm. [18 U.S.C. 922(a)(2)(A), 922(a) (3), 922(a)(5) and 922(e), 27 CFR 478.31 and 478.30] |
