An individual (as opposed to a licensed dealer) is not supposed to use the U.S. postal service to ship handguns. You are supposed to use a secondary carrier like Fedex or UPS. If the police department is in the same state, you can legally ship it to them, but if you ship and handgun to a different state, you are supposed to ship to an FFL (licencsed dealer).

Why does a package mailed USPS in west palm beach fl to carol stream il go through New York?

Packages mailed via USPS may go through a central processing facility, which can sometimes be located in a different state, like New York, due to the logistics of the postal network. This routing helps streamline sorting and distribution, especially if the package is being sent to a location that is not directly adjacent to the origin. Additionally, the USPS employs a system designed to optimize delivery times and efficiency, which can result in unexpected routing.

How do you ship a gun through USPS?

Depends on the gun. A rifle or shotgun that is unloaded MAY be mailed in the US Mail. See Domestic Mail Manual, section 14, restricted mailings. A handgun may only be mailed by a licensed dealer or manufacturer. If the OWNERSHIP of the gun is changing, other than by inheritance, and it is going to another state, the gun must be sent to a licensed firearms dealer in the state of the receiver of the gun.
