I was recently out traveling and I decided that rather than trust my handgun to the airline baggage and TSA, that I would send my gun to myself at my home address.
Packaged everything up, went to FedEx, and declared that I wanted to ship a handgun. They first asked if I had an FFL (don't think this really matters if the shipper had an FFL, but they asked), which I do, a C&R license. They said since I had a license that they could ship the gun by Overnight, which I expected.
Everything was fine until they saw my shipping document, with my name as the sender and the recipient. On seeing that they said they couldn't ship it. They said I would need to come back with someone else to ship the gun to me! They printed off the rules and showed me the clause that states that the sender and recipient have to be different people!
Why would FedEx have this restriction in place?
