You seem to be misunderstanding the point. The point was you can tell someone it is legal to flap their arms and fly. But I would still not be telling them that they are going to be sucessful at it. The reality is the shippers WILL NOT ship without a copy of the FFL, they DO require you to notify them that it is a firearm, and if is discovered to be a firearm and you DID NOT notify them they WILL sieze the firearm. So how would you tell someone on here to ship a firearm? What I and another person told them was they will have to get a copy of the FFL and then notify FedEx, UPS, or CHL that it is a firearm before shipping. If you have EXPERIENCED different then say so. If you have shipped via any of the three carriers in another way then tell us. Maybe we can be successful your way next time.
But since we are talking law here. This is an excerpt from the current law on the ATF webpage. it is right under the FAQ.."Mailing a handgun".
That sounds pretty clear to me.

A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by carrier to a resident of his or her own state or to a licensee in any state. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm. [18 U. S. C. 922( a)( 2)( A) and 922( e), 27 CFR 178.31]
That sounds pretty clear to me.
