This might belong in the legal section, but I thought it was better suited here because I'm fairly sure you CAN do it, I'm just looking for a better feeling as to HOW...
I am going to be moving in a couple of weeks from Florida to Colorado. I already have a place of residence set up and have begun shipping boxes, and moving out there slowly but surely. I will be driving my personal vehicle out there for the final trip at the end of June. My question is, what can I legally do with my firearms in terms of shipment. They are all compliant with the local regulations of the place I am moving to, however some of the places that I will be visiting on the drive out there do not allow civilian possession, or something else that may make the firearm illegal in the place I am visiting. I have heard (through online forums) of people shipping firearms to themselves for purposes of hunting, or something like that, but wanted to know if you could do this if moving. The package would be both shipped as well as picked up by myself.
I just want to make sure that I do this legally correct, as I do not intend on breaking the law, and would like to be able to make the stops that I plan during the trip. Would I have to have them shipped to an FFL and go through the whole 4473 form process again for each firearm?
Is there anyone here that has done this? If so, who do you recommend I use to ship? (FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc...)
