A FFL can mail handguns, whole or broken down. |

A FFL can mail handguns, whole or broken down. Mere mortals (not FFL can) only mail long guns within a state not across state lines and handguns can only be mailed by FFLs to a very limited group of people. It is easier to just say you can't do it. From USPS.COM Subject to 432.22, handguns may be mailed by a licensed manufacturer of firearms, a licensed dealer of firearms, a licensed importer of firearms, or an authorized agent of the federal government or the government of a state, territory, or district, only when addressed to a person in one of the following categories for use in the person’s official duties, and upon filing the required affidavit or certificate: Officers of the Army, Coast Guard, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, or Organized Reserve Corps. Officers of the National Guard or militia of a state, territory, or district. Officers of the United States or of a state, territory, or district, whose official duty is to serve warrants of arrest or commitment. USPS employees authorized by the Chief Postal Inspector. Officers and employees of enforcement agencies of the United States. Watchmen engaged in guarding the property of the United States, a state, territory, or district. Purchasing agent or other designated member of agencies employing officers and employees included in 432.21c through e. |

I was just commenting on your statement, "It is illegal to mail a firearm, even if it is in pieces." That is not exactly accurate. Considering the limits, it is a distinction without a difference. The law was written to address Lee Oswald buying a mail order rifle from a FFL. |

UPS would ship it only overnight air - at a cost of about $85 - to Abiline, TX. So I took it to a local gunsmith. === I think you can do better with Fedex. |
