If they hesitate, request harder.
:iagree: My thoughts exactly. Ruger and S&W take care of all of this. All you need to do is put it in a box.
Armed not dangerous but potentially lethal.

Tried that and they want 50 bucks for the service. Might end up doing that if it costs me the same going through UPS ....... would seem less hassle.

I don't know your specifics, but I know of cases where Taurus has done it.

That's why I said 'request harder', as in speaking to a supervisor.

Did you purchase the handgun new from an FFL, are you the original purchaser? Or did you buy it used?
