Assuming I want to sell a handgun to someone in a different state from mine and I have an ink signed copy of the receiving dealer's FFL. Can I simply take the piece to Fed Ex and send it to the FFL holder or must I have an FFL holder on my end ship the gun to the FFL holder on the other end? Neat way for FFL holders to get some quick easy cash, my guy here in town wants $40.00 to do a transfer plus I pay the shipping charges.
I recently sent a revo back to S&W via Fed Ex. The agent didn't ask what was in the box and I didn't offer any information. There was no indication on the box that it contained a firearm, and the addressee was simply Warantee Dept, no mention of S&W or gun in the address. Does don't ask, don't tell work? Should the Fed Ex agent have asked if there was a firearm in the box and to see a copy of the receiving party's FFL?
Suppose the receiving party's gun shop was simply called The Red Barn or whatever, how does Fed Ex or UPS know or do they even care that you are shipping a firearm to a dealer or FFL holder? Seems as tho there are lots of loop-holes here.
