Shipping a pistol to another state

Only if what you are shipping is a C&R item. And even then, depending on what state it is going to, that might not count for squat. Call your local ATF office and ask them.

I think you might have to go through an 01...even if you are 03 and recipient is an 03. Going USPS you have to file out a cert that says you are a dealer. UPS will still charge you $50+ to send it 2nd day air. Cheaper to just take to to an 01 and transfer it to ship to the other 03.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PISTOLS HERE

You can not ship through USPS with a C&R or receive one with a C&R through the Post Office.

You are mistaken.

Not an C&R FFL

I am a C&R FFL and work for the Post Office. here are the rules for mailing a pistol.

11.1.2 Handguns

Pistols, revolvers, and other firearms capable of being concealed on the person (referred to as handguns) are nonmailable unless mailed between the parties listed in 11.1.3 and 11.1.5 after the filing of an affidavit or statement required by 11.1.4 and 11.1.6.

11.1.3 Authorized Persons

Subject to 11.1.4, handguns may be mailed by a licensed manufacturer of firearms, a licensed dealer 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:

a. Officers of the Army, Coast Guard, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, or Organized Reserve Corps.

11.1.6 Certificate of Manufacturers and Dealers

A licensed manufacturer or dealer need not file the affidavit under 11.1.4, but must file with the postmaster a statement on Form 1508 signed by the mailer that he or she is a licensed manufacturer or dealer of firearms, that the parcels containing handguns (or major component parts thereof) are customary trade shipments or contain such articles for repairing or replacing parts, and that to the best of his or her knowledge or belief the addressees are licensed manufacturers or dealers of firearms.


f. Licensed manufacturer and licensed dealer mean, respectively, a manufacturer of firearms or a bona fide dealer of firearms, duly licensed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms of the Department of the Treasury, under the Gun Control Act of 1968 (Public Law 90-618), 18 USC 921, et seq.

Now which part did you not understand.

No. A FFL03 cannot use the USPS for handguns. (Other than antiques)

I told you no before
