Shipping In State W No Ffl

Recommended Posts

I know it's legal to ship in state w no FFL. I've had someone do it before to me. But don't know specifics. I thought it was ups, not USPS. Anyone have a link to legalities or specifics that I can show a seller and/or UPS?

Gunbroker's page says that you would be all right shipping within the same state.

But I can't find anything on UPS or USPS pages that state you are 100% ok, as neither seems to mention in-state shipping, that I could find.  The carrier you can use depends on the type of firearm for sure.  A pistol, handgun, or 'concealable' weapon cannot be shipped USPS.  It appears that a rifle or shotgun can be shipped USPS from one individual inside a state to another individual inside the same state, if you comply with some Gun Control Act of 1968, but I didn't feel like digging that deep to find out what it says.  I also don't find any mention of in-state shipping vs. out of state shipping, so that is probably mentioned in the Gun Control Act.

UPS does allow for shipment of handguns (next day air only) but the UPS firearms page doesn't mention shipping within the same state at all, so it wants a licensed dealer.

Good luck, you're probably going to need it as everyone needs a written procedure to do anything anymore, and doing something out of the norm is bound to be a hassle.  FFL fees usually aren't that outrageous ($15 or so I think depending on who you use), so that's always an option if you can't get it sent otherwise.  Or you could just take a road trip to pick it up I guess too.
