interstate intrafamilial handgun transfer

[Boswell]

My son in NC used ShipMyGun.com (SMG) website to ship a handgun to an FFL here in CA. The SMG provides for a private party to pay for the shipment (next day air via Fedex) with a credit card and print a label. You can insure it for an amount determined by you. Take the handgun sealed in the box with the label attached to Fedex Center (not Fedex store) and drop it off. The next day it arrives at your selected FFL. Very efficient and legal. Just ensure the FFL you are using will accept this process.

thank you all very much

...
The main problem with shipping though, is that FedEx and UPS will not accept firearms, and a private individual can not ship handguns via USPS, while an FFL can.

Huh? People (non-FFLs) ship firearms through UPS/FedEx all the time, including handguns. You can go to their web site and see their policy on how to ship firearms. Handguns, by policy, not law, have to be shipped overnight with UPS/FedEx.

IF he is able to get UPS to accept the shipment, it will have to be shipped overnight, and from the terminal... not the "UPS Store"

The UPS Store isn't UPS, which is why you can ship firearms through them. It is a different company and the locations are likely to be a franchise.

Where did coke get that nonsense about no shipping thru ups and fedex ? Hairdressers cousin I guess.

Been a few comments made recently on the forum about them not accepting shipments.

To have a hairdresser, I'd have to have hair

Some locations have issues, making up rules that don't actually exist, so calls to Corp. tend to solve that problem.

As I said, look at their online polices and it doesn't say that they don't accept firearms.

Oh, then there is also the claim that handguns can never be shipped USPS, not saying that it is actually just limited to dealers. In other words don't believe everything that you read on the Internet.

She can ship direct, as long as it is ok with the receiving FFL. Typically she would need to provide a copy of her ID to log where it came from.

Shipping from an FFL is often cheaper since it can be shipped USPS, otherwise it has to be shipped UPS/FedEx overnight. You might see if the FFL there can be educated.

Unless you have a C&R FFL and COE, you would be subject to the 1 in 30.

She would also need to provide a letter documenting the transfer as an intra-familial transfer.

1) Drive to AZ. See Mom. Pick up firearms.
2) Drive home.

This is a very quick way to become a federal felon.

But, mom could legally drive (or fly) them to your California FFL.

Also keep in mind that even though the transfer is roster-exempt, the 1-every-30 limit does apply.
She can ship both to the FFL at the same time, but you can only DROS one a month... make sure the receiving FFL is OK with holding one for a month.
Also, the transfer will be subject to normal transfer fees... it is not a $35 PPT.

This. If you're in southern CA, probably the easiest way to do it.
Scout your local FFLs and make sure that they understand that:
1 - Intrafamilial transfers are roster-exempt
2 - She may hand-carry to execute an interstate dealer-transfer

Mags. 10 rounds max.

And ignore Featureless.

[Librarian]

1) Drive to AZ. See Mom. Pick up firearms.
2) Drive home.

3) Both be picked up by Feds.

4) Both be convicted of violating 18 USC 922, and sentenced to $10K fines, 5 years in Federal prison, and permanent bar from even touching a firearm.

And mmaaka, this is exactly the same question you asked here: http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s....php?t=1475117, with 'mom' instead of 'dad'.

[Featureless]

Well apparently THAT was a stupid idea. In the future I'll stick to keeping myself California compliant and refrain on commenting on other legal issues I know nothing about.
