Oh, I thought the scam was sending a gun to your home, which is possibly legal. Did not notice the rest.

You definitely CANNOT ship a pistol straight to your home. Nothing legal about it. Handguns have to go to an FFL.

 

[kahrshooter]

Wrong. Sorry.

You CAN send a pistol to someone's home, if you are both residents of the same State, and the package is sent from within that State to Within that State. Same as a FTF Sale.

Now, you cannot MAIL a handgun, but its perfectly legal to send via UPS or Fedex. They have rules that say you cannot, but their rules are not laws.

A FFL is only required in Interstate Sales, but not Intrastate.

So it's legal, and you can do it.

May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U.S. Postal Service?

A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another state. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of their own state or to a licensee in any state.

The U.S. Postal Service recommends that long guns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel containing firearms.

Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun.

[18 U.S.C. 1715, 922(a)(5) and 922 (a)(2)(A); 27 CFR 478.31]

Here ya go. Long gun is OK, handgun is not.

See, this is the problem .... . a lot of people do not notice it says "mail". But ship and mail are not the same thing. You CAN ship a handgun, legally, without being a FFL. If its shipped to a location out of State, has to go to a FFL. Within your home State, to another Resident of your home State, at an address within that State, and the buyer is legal .... nothing in the Fed Codes that say you cannot do that.

Gotcha. The language is very confusing. Even folks on Georgia Packing argue about it. I've always thought it meant you could only ship/mail long guns within state.

WTB Gen 4 caliber and have it mailed straight to my home. Anyone know someone trying to do that?
