You can ship it but as I understand it, it has to go thru an overnight carrier. I just shipped a Glock today to their plant in GA via Fed Ex. I was in and out in 5 minutes and it cost me $52.00 to ship from IL.
An FFL dealer can ship thru the mail but he will charge you also.
This is exactly how Ruger handled my LCP. I got a box and called, UPS showed up the next day and took it next day air. When Ruger was done with it, came straight home to me.
The legal resource I like is NRA.org, click on the ILA tab and go to gun laws. Lots of current info on federal and state by state listing.
The overnight requirement, as far as I can tell, is not a law, but a requirement of FedEx and UPS. I don't know about any other shipping company. The require it to go overnight so their employees have less time to steal it.
Your FFL can ship post office. FFL fee + priority flat rate + insurance + signature confirmation = cheaper than UPS or FedEx I shipped one a few weeks ago, cost me $30 while FFL fee is $20.
