Mailing handguns

[lew1]

Your Post Offices are not accurate.

In order to mail Handguns thru the Postal System, you must file a Form 1508 at the time of shipment. (Copy attached)

The form clearly states the Postal rules - namely that you have to be a dealer or manufacturer of firearms, and the addresses have to be a a dealer or manufacturer of firearms - and the shipment has to a customary trade shipment, etc.

A C&R license does not authorize, directly or indirectly, the shipment of handguns thru the postal system. Bad advice, although meant to be helpful, wold not keep you out of trouble.

If you have a C&R license, ship a handgun by FedEx or UPS.
