Not sure what is going on with the UPS/Fedex employees. I was overnighting a handgun to a gunsmith at UPS today. The Empoyee told me the following: "Individuals are no longer allowed to ship handguns. You must be an FFL License holder. These are the new regulations. BUT, I am going to go ahead and ship your gun anyway." Why would any employee ship the gun, if it is against Company Regulations? Last year, I had an almost identical experience at FEDEX. My conclusion from these experiences: take a copy of the FedEX or UPS Firearms Shipping Regulations when shipping a handgun.
