I just composed a letter to the Inspector General U.S. Postal Inspection Service. It will most likely fall on deaf ears, but it's worth a shot. If we all start making the same appeal, it could change things.

Make reference to:

DMM 11.1 Pistols, Revolvers, and Other Concealable Firearms

RE: Shipping firearms.

"DMM 11.1 Pistols, Revolvers, and Other Concealable Fiearms."

Hello,

I am a retired Postal Employee. I worked for USPS for nearly 32 years. In that time I was a T-6 Window Clerk / Trainer (20 years) and Finance Tech (7 years) at the Springfield Main Office.

I am presently retired and a collector of â??Curio and Relicsâ? firearms. I am writing this in regard to the present DMM regulation pertaining to the shipment and receipt of firearms by â??licensed dealersâ?. The current policy is that any and all handguns can be shipped only from a Licensed Dealer (01 FFL) to a Licensed Dealer with (01 FFL).

I have a valid Curio & Relics license (03 FFL) which permits me (by Federal Law) as a collector, to ship and receive firearms classified as Curios & Relics by BATF. The dilemma being that I, as well as numerous others, would much prefer to ship through USPS rather than FedEx or UPS. Neither of which are trust worthy in my opinion.

I am making an appeal to have the regulation changed, to include, and allow, the shipment of C&R handguns by C&R FFL 03 license holders. We are licensed by the BATF to do so. All that needs to be done is to have the â??Licensed Dealerâ? changed, or to include â??(Federally) Licensed Dealers and/or Collectorsâ?.

This would also enhance revenue on the average of $30 to $40+ per item, sent by (specified) Express, Priority or Registered mail with Insurance (only).

This regulation has never made sense, and is contradictory in regards the USPS and BATF regulations.

Please give this request serious consideration on behalf of myself and fellow C&R collectors.

Sincerely,

Ron Smith
