There are several different FFLs (Federal Firearms Licensees) The most common are the 01 (Dealer) and 03 (Collector) I am an 03. A DEALER may ship a handgun by US Mail, or by a common carrier of freight, such as UPS or FedEx. The last two require that handguns be shipped by Next Day Air (their requirement, not a law). An 03 (Collector) may NOT mail a handgun in the US Mail, but must use a common carrier. A manufacturer is treated the same as a dealer.

Can you mail my rifle?

NO. ----- YES Can you mail, in general send a rifle via the shipper, as in you want to sell it or give it to a relative. The answer is yes you can, however it MUST be shipped to a FFL regardless if it's within your own state or not. The FFL (Federal Firearms License) holder verifies that the person who will receive it in the state can own in legally. The receiving FFL MAY have conditions on how it's sent etc. It is also EXTREMELY advisable to send a copy of the FFL with the rifle and you can verify a FFL's license on the ATF website.

Can a gun be dropped of into the mailbox?

No, it cannot be. You must use a third party shipper such as UPS, FedEx, or DHL, and in most cases, it must be delivered to an FFL licenced dealer in the state it's being shipped to, and cannot be sent directly to the recipient. Some states may permit direct shipping of long guns to buyers/recipients within the same state (you need to check what the laws on that are for your state), but you cannot do any such thing transporting a firearm across state lines, even in instances where the recipient owns the gun already, and is having it shipped to them - it must still be shipped to an FFL dealer for receiving purposes.

What is an FFL dealer?

A firearms dealer. To be able to do business as such, you must have a Federal Firearms Licence (FFL). Most gun shops will have a Type 1 FFL, and pawn shops will have a Type 2 FFL. A Type 3 FFL is the only class of FFL which does not permit the possessor to act as a dealer.

How do you send a handgun in the mail?

Under US law, handguns may ONLY bemailed by a person that holds an 01 Federal Firearms License (Dealer) or a licensed Manufacturer in the course of trade shipments- and paperwork must be filed with the post office to confirm that.Persons that are NOT licensed (if you don't know that you have a FFL, you don't) may SHIP a handgun using UPS or Federal Express using Next Day Air. If the firearm is crossing a state line, and is NOT being shipped to yourself, with VERY few exceptions, it must be shipped TO a FFL holder in the recipient's state.
