    Transporting Blackpowder handgun question

    Are unloaded blackpowder handguns required to be in a "locked container" for transport?

    Can black powder handguns be mailed via USPS or do they have to go UPS?

    They can be mailed, but I'm pretty sure that all California handgun transportation laws affect them.
    Never initiate force against another. That should be the underlying principle of your life. But should someone do violence to you, retaliate without hesitation, without reservation, without quarter, until you are sure that he will never wish to harm - or never be capable of harming - you or yours again.

      My brother is going to build one of those loading / display stands from another BP thread and I thought it would be easiest for him to have the pistol.

      Didn't know if I had to ship "parts" as in the frame UPS and mail the cylinder or if I could USPS Priority mail the whole M1858 to him.

        Put it in a USPS flat rate box and ship it.

          Thanks just wanted to be certain, Cabelas wouldn't deliver it to my mailing address only Street address, so I wasn't sure!
