Shipping and handgun

[Bocephus123]

Not true...

It's not hard to find the UPS policy on firearms. This page pretty much explains UPS policy. I'm pretty sure FedEx probably has a similar page:

It's not illegal. But like @elwoodtrix said, good luck if the package is damaged or lost. They'll tell you to pack sand when you try to file a claim.

Never used UPS no thanks.

You can deny the facts all you want. The fact is neither UPS nor FedEx, according to their rules/regulations/policies/etc, allow non-FFLs to ship guns. You might do it, and it might be just fine (I still do), but if something happens to that package and you file a claim you won't get compensated if they find out it was a gun. And it won't be hard to verify that, at all.

USPS

Only FFLs can ship handguns thru the USPS. Unlike UPS or FedEx, it is illegal for a non-FFL to ship a handgun via USPS. You're good with long guns, though.

Half the people say yes you can still ship guns you can still do it. Well then please inform me where exactly where I need a phone number I need an address because everyone I've called and talked to said hell no you can't do it unless you take it to an FFL.

I posted the FedEx and UPS policies. That's directly from the horse's mouth. What more do you need to know?

Violating a companies shipping policy is not a crime. But if there's an issue, you're not gonna be able to file a claim once they know it was a gun because you failed to follow their shipping guidelines.

Only FFL dealers can ship handguns thru the USPS so that isn't an option for you. That would be a crime if you did that.

I can tell you that I've may or may not have violated FedEx and UPS policy on several occasions...once just earlier this year. Maybe...
