Inherited gun question

[Devilok13]

Neither UPS nor FedEx rules allow a private party to ship a firearm to another private party or to themselves. That's what Devilok13 is trying to do. The USPS is his only option, but he can't use them for the handguns.




I'm pretty sure he was assuming you might be visiting family there some time in the future and you could pick up the handguns at that time. He wasn't suggesting you make a special trip to pick up the handguns.

Thanks for the reply, but they are rifles - not handguns. And, you're right, the USPS is my only option other than getting on a plane.

It's legal, true, but their tariffs - their announced business policies - say that an FFL must be involved on one or the other end of the shipment. See the wiki -- http://wiki.calgunsfoundation.org/Sh...hin_California

USPS Domestic Mail Manual says

Thanks for taking the time to find this. So it looks like I can use the "in the care of" option and have my uncle mail the rifles to me from ME to CA.

You can mail the firearm, but your uncle can not.
