Hey pallies. I recently have become 01 FFL dealer licensed for a side business. According to the USPS licensed dealers can send/receive handguns via the mail. (Priority mail is going to be helluva lot more cost effective than UPS' nonsense, so this is an important part to this side business.)
The regulations are pretty clear cut and it appears I need to file a PS Form 1508 at the time of shipment. I plan to have a chat with the postmaster this week to confirm all that, but I thought I would toss this out there for comment as there has to be other FFLs on board: what is the real world process of shipping a handgun via USPS? Are there any other forms, issues, or considerations, I should be aware of?
Thanks!
