I would like some information on shipping guns out of state.
Here is the situation. My nephew was a California resident who recently moved to Texas. His furniture, firearms, and other stuff are still here. He wants to have his stuff shipped to his new home. The question is how to ship his guns. Note that his father can ship the guns for him if possible. Or, if necessary, it can wait until the next time he is in California so that he is shipping them to himself.
1) UPS: His father spent a long time on the phone with UPS and couldn't get a straight answer, other than them making it seem like it was an ordeal. Is there a way to have UPS ship it? Would it help if he is shipping them to himself?
2) Gunstore: If he asks a gunstore to do it, willl there be the expense of FFLs if he is shipping it to himself? I imagine if his father brings them to the gunstore, there would be FFL fees on each end.
3) Movers: I imagine the movers could ship them with the other stuff legally, but it seems like there is a big risk of theft if they know what they are moving.
4) Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
