Hello I'm sure this topic came up before and I used the search but didnt come up with nothing so sorry in advance.
Question
I need to ship a gun to someone from the same state as me(louisiana)do I have to ship it to a ffl holder or can I ship it straight to him?
I checked out the ATF website and if I'm reading this right it says that I can ship it straight to him as long as we're in the same state.
Would like some help from someone that has shipped a gun before as this is my first time doing this.
Thanks
(B9) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by carrier?
A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by carrier to a resident of his or her own state or to a licensee in any state. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm. [18 U. S. C. 922( a)( 2)( A) and 922( e), 27 CFR 178.31]
