Handgun transfer question

[spencer60]

If you use UPS or FedEx, be prepared for the cost. Both of them require you to ship handguns Overnight, which can be $80 or so. Also, there has to be an FFL on at least one side of the transfer for them to even accept it from what I remember.

As mentioned above, driving it there will be simpler and cheaper.

This is correct spencer60 all handguns shipped to a receiving FFL that has already been notified by buyer of the gun. As he said overnight or 2nd day.

Company policy , not fed law

I work for the sheriff office, unless you are ftf you cannot ship a firearm unless it is to a designated ffl. A transfer in state must be done in person to two legal consenting parties but if a ftf meeting can not be arranged you must ship it to an ffl UNLESS IT IS C&R which is a another subject
Edit: guess I gotta clarify my statement here^ no it is not illegal by government standpoint but many shipping companies won’t accept the shipment without it being an ffl, then we get into the argument of “private business can do what they want” etc..etc...

Please quote the law.

• The shipper and recipient are required to comply with all applicable government regulations and laws.

GA law does not require a FFL to recieve in state transfers. Otherwise we could not meet face to face and swap cash or goods for a pistola.
