IIRC, Ron Smith has been working with the Postmaster General on this very issue, and over on Jan Still's site posted that the USPS has finally amended the DMM to reconize a C&R FFL as a licensee and thus allow C&R FFLs to ship handguns/concealable firearms via the US Mail. (Previously a "licensee" was defined in the DMM as a manufacturer, dealer or importer...no mention/inclusion of a "collector.")
