APB you are beating a dead horse, intra means in the same state, inter means between 2 different states, I think you just like to debate, if it were legal for interstate transportation thru the U.S. mail, to non FFL buyers and sellers to engage in sending guns to people who were un licensed, (FFL), licensed, it would make no sense, other than sending the weapon to the factory, to fix a defective or broken part. Otherwise what would stop a murderer or a drug dealer from ordering a gun thru the mail from a licensed firearms dealer, or having a friend send a gun to a felon, that's why they both have to have FFL's. The whole idea here is weather you care to follow the law, or set it aside thinking that the LEO's are going to stand there and debate it with you. It just happens that the 2 guys who own a Pak Mail store nearby, basiclly spelled it out because they are both enthusiasts, "parts" is what they told me is what folks write on the box, not evem "machine parts", because you going to have a problem if the weapon is insured and get's swiped, and you have to produce a receipt to get paid from the company that you shipped with. And overnight air is the only way to go as it limits the transit time of the goods and renders it less likelly to get stolen. But this is only for transit when both parties live in the same state, also a scan of your license inside the box, in case it does get lost, it will be delivered to the person whose Lic, is inside, so it should be the same as the addressee. This will be the last time I respond to this question, and I don't accept orders from anyone other than my wife. If you want to get the names of the ups, fedx, or mamma lukes overnight delivery service, go right ahead, they are going to tell you "no guns", that means "no guns" shipped even intrastate unless they are either going to the manufacturer, for repair, to a smith, who will usually work out of a gun store in order to use thier FFL if he doesn't have one, "two FFL licensees". I'd be very impressed if you can produce a letter from any one of them saying that they will knowinglly ship a weapon to a non FFL, either way, but you already know that. The old days are gone forever, we live in a society thay has made things for the average guy, much harder than they have to be, and I am sure that non law abiding element of society are not the least bit concerned with this. But some poor guy is going to get his ass locked up because he saw someone on the internet tell him it was ok to send a handgun through the mail. If you are sending a firearm to smith and wesson because the hammer fell off, that's ok. But if you are selling a gun to john smith who only has a ccw, that's not ok. I don't have the time or inclanation to keep at this, since I did it to help someone avoid the pitfalls, but I don't get paid to argue motions. That's why you see a lot more FTF offers in the buy and sell area, otherwise it just gets cost prohibitive to buy or sell anymore.
