Quoted: I want to ship a rifle to Miami, FL from Atlanta, GA. I know that I need to ship it to an ffl but do I have to ship it FROM an ffl in GA to the ffl in FL? I was under the impression that if I got a signed copy of an ffl, I could ship it to the ffl myself.Please help me out. Thanks ahead of time. No, you don't need to ship it from an FFL. |

I would use USPS because they won't inquire about package contents. If you ship it via UPS they'll ask and if you tell them it's a firearm you may get the run-a-round if dealing w/ one of the airheads that doesn't know squat.

308...if you do not have an FFL dealer lined up, I can heartily recommend Bird Road Pawn & Gun
(305)559-2203. NO "attitude", prompt and reliable. Somewhat centrally located in Miami. They've done 2 transfers for me and I'll use them again when needed. My 2c. Stay safe |

Otherwise they are OK. |

You have to tell UPS it's a gun...you do NOT have to tell the Post Office. The law states you have to notify common carriers but it does not say you have to notify the post office when shipping a long gun. I have also never been asked what I am insuring when filling out the insurance form at the post office. |
