We went through this so many times, twice by me, when guys started quoting all kinds of laws and federal regs. The bottom line is that none of them will take the pistol, unless one side has an FFL. If you know a local Pac and Ship, and you have a relationship with them, they can advise you how to do this. I don't know if what they suggested to me was legal or not, as it was intrastate not interstate. But overnight Fedex, was the only way, 6 months ago. They are both sportsmen. My mom went to both Fedex and UsPs, last week, as I have a rifle that I have sitting at her house for 20 yrs, which is ok, because it just keeps appreciating in value, and I knew I would have sold it a thousand dollars ago. But they both told her that she had to send it thru an FFL. Also I had a flat screen dissappear 3 months ago, after spending $70 dollars to pac and send it in by "Fedex next day", I had it insurred for $350, and waited 6 weeks to get paid, after 3 weeks to verify it was lost. So you definatlly want to insure it. I have had 2 packages stolen in the last year, neither were weapons, but you better insure anything you ship. This economy is causing a lot of theft also.
