Im going to ship a handgun to a dealer in Idaho. Do I need anything other than their business name and adress on the label? Do I need to have their license number in my possession upon shipping? Do I need to have a locking device installed on it for shipping? Thanks. Geo

Are your a FFL? If so, then you need a copy of their FFL. If not, you need only check to make sure that they are a FFL on the BATF ezcheck web page:
The firearm needs to be unloaded, but no lock is required.
If you are not a FFL, you can not ship USPS and instead have to use FedEx or UPS overnight, so you might want to check to see what a local FFL will charge to ship since it can be cheaper. A flat rate box is around $11 with the USPS. Add insurance, you should be around $20, depending on the value of the firearm. FedEx & UPS are $35+.
You also should request an adult signature and inform the shipper that it is a firearm.Kemasa.
False signature edited by Paul: Banned from the FFL forum due to being rude and insulting. Doing this continues his abuse.
Don't tell someone to read the rules he wrote or tell him that he is wrong.
