Shipping guns

[tallguy606]

A friend of mine in Houma wants to ship 5 or 6 modern long guns to his son in Washington state. I told him I thought he would have to go through and FFL, maybe on both ends. Don't think you can just box them up and send across state lines. Anyone know how to do this?

A non FFL holder can legally ship long guns to an ffl holder via US Postal service. It would be wise to check with your local post master before you walk into the post office with an arm full.

It would also be wise to contact the receiving FFL before you ship to ensure he is willing to receive them from an individual and what his requirements will be. Keep in mind, the receiving FFL is under no obligation to receive them.

The receiving FFL in Washington State should also be asked WHAT long guns he can accept, as a 'legal' gun in La. may not be 'legal' in Washington. Also be sure the intended recipient (the son) understands he will have to undergo background checks and will likely incur fees due the receiving FFL .

Tri Parish Police Supply can help him. They have an account with UPS.

This guy sums it up pretty well.
Also, you may run into some differences when shipping firearms that fall under curio relic
