I was looking at the ATF website, and came across this
(B9) May a nonlicensee ship firearms interstate for his or her use in hunting or other lawful activity? [ Back]
Yes. A person may ship a firearm to himself or herself in care of another person in the State where he or she intends to hunt or engage in any other lawful activity. The package should be addressed to the owner. Persons other than the owner should not open the package and take possession of the firearm.
So, would this mean I could ship my handgun to myself?
I do intend to use it for sporting purposes and other lawful activities.
But it says this elsewhere,
(B8) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by common or contract carrier? [ Back]
A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract 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), 922(a) (3), 922(a)(5) and 922(e), 27 CFR 478.31 and 478.30
I hate this crap, I should be able to just mail it to myself.
So anybody wann weigh in? I sent an e-mail to the ATF, so we'll see what they say.
