Best Answer

Rifles and shotguns may be mailed by a private citizen. However, if they are being mailed across a state line, they must be mailed to yourself, or to the holder of a Federal Firearms License, such as a dealer, collector, or manufacturer. HANDGUNS may only be mailed by a FFL holder that is a dealer or manufacturer. They are required to file a Form 1508 with the Post Office with each shipment. This is detailed in the US Postal Service Domestic Mail Manual, under restricted mailings. AMMUNITION may not be mailed.

How do you ship a firearm from Hawaii to Texas?

Two different issues- shipping a firearm ,and transferring ownership across a state line. Except in the case of an inherited firearm, transfer of ownership of a firearm made since 1899 will require that it be shipped TO a Federal Firearms License holder, such as a gun dealer. The person receiving the firearm will go to the dealer, complete the same paperwork as if they were buying it from the dealer before they can take possession. SHIPPING is a different matter. An unloaded rifle or shotgun may be mailed by US Mail. This is covered in the Domestic Mail Manual under restricted mailings. HANDGUNS may NOT be mailed except by a licensed dealer or manufacturer. You may ship them by UPS or FedEx Next Day Air, adult signature required. This is VERY expensive- around $100 per gun. It may be cheaper to find a dealer that will MAIL them for you- even after paying his fee and postage, it may be less. If shipping UPS or FedEx, it must be from a hub, not a UPS store.

In the US (other countries, other laws) a private citizen may mail an unloaded rifle or shotgun by US Mail. See chapter 14, Domestic Mail Manual. Only a Dealer or Manufacturer with a Federal Firearms License can legally MAIL a handgun. If the ownership of a firearm is being transferred across a state line, the gun MUST be shipped to a Federal Firearms License holder. Both UPS and FedEx hubs (not storefronts) will SHIP (not mail) rifles, shotguns, and handguns.
