That depends. If you are transferring ownership (sold it, gave it away) the gun must be sent TO a licensed firearms dealer in the home state of the recipient. The dealer will complete the same process (background check) as if the gun was being bought from the dealer.
Only a licensed dealer may legally MAIL a handgun thru the US Mail. Non dealers may ship a handgun to a dealer or manufacturer by using UPS or FedEx, Both require shipment from a Hub (not a storefront) and that they be shipped by Next Day Air.
Frankly, that is rather expensive (about $70). It may be cheaper to find a dealer that will mail the gun to another dealer, and charge you for the mailing.
PS- a unloaded rifle or shotgun CAN be mailed thru the US Mail by non-dealers.
