Shipping pistol

[Tripper]

Hi
I inherited a pistol which is currently in OKC, I am in CA, is there an FFL that will ship it directly to me? of course for a reasonable fee

My understanding is that since it is inherited it can come direct however, ups and FedEx don't really understand that, and will only ship to an FFL
Any advise? Or a willing shipper?

Bold part is the important exemption in your case.

USPS will not ship it under any circumstance. You'll have to find a UPS or FedEx employee that can read and has common sense, has done it before, or have the executor speak to a supervisor but the executor is allowed to ship a pistol direct, as long as it is legal for you to possess in CA.

Don't forget to fill out the form below to comply with the registration restriction in CA.

So has long as you are recieving the gun as a gift from a person that deceased the interstate transfer does not have to go through an FFL.

Why not get a friend or family member to pick it up and bring/drive it to you???

I'm not trying to steal a thread, but that isn't true.
Post office will handle pistol shipments if the requirements are met.

*without FFL involvement, which in this case is unnecessary based on the facts given.

ETA: Logged in to wrong account but not changing it.

Anyone aware of a ups or FedEx employee or location or usps that understands the exemption
We've waited a while already to just pick up directly, neither of us can make the trip
