Found this on GunBroker.com I stand corrected... I didnt know you could ship a handgun directly to a FFL...

Shipping Legalities
Federal Law requires that all modern firearms be shipped only to a holder of a valid Federal Firearms License (FFL). The recipient must be have an FFL; however the sender is not required to have one. Any person who is legally allowed to own a firearm is legally allowed to ship it to an FFL holder for any legal purpose (including sale or resale).
Here is exactly what the ATF 'Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide' (ATF P 5300.4) says:
(B9) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by carrier?
A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by carrier to a resident of his or her own state or to a licensee in any state. A common or contract carrier must be used to ship a handgun. In addition, Federal law requires that the carrier be notified that the shipment contains a firearm and prohibits common or contract carriers from requiring or causing any label to be placed on any package indicating that it contains a firearm. [18 U. S. C. 922( a)( 2)( A) and 922( e), 27 CFR 178.31]

I have been told that it is a FEDEx and UPS Rule... They want to offload the gun ASAP...

Every handgun I have ever gotten was shipped over night or second day... I think its just a way for the shipping companies to make an extra buck...

Out of State deals concerning handguns go from FFL to FFL. And they are supposed to be shipped overnight...

I think that even in state, non-FTF deals, still have to use a FFL to FFL approach when dealing with handguns.

Everybody has to get their money... And Complicated does not even touch it....

I have a copy of the FFL I use in PDF form.. I got a good copy and scanned it at work... This works very well...
