I am too furious to talk. The postal servant refused to accept a rifle for shipment to Tip Burns at Canyon Sporting Arms. They refused then said if I didn't have a FFL and a copy of His FFL I could not ship. That is not the law. Does any one have a quick link or a regulation I can take back with me to show them their own rules????

I think this will do it.

Reading that link it says I have to have a FFL to ship. Is that the way it is?? I thought it only had to be shipped to a FFL holder.

I guess that I didn't read it that way. I am fortunate as I have shipped several and received several without problems.

If it is a handgun then yes you need to ship FFL to FFL
But other then that if it's a legal rifle it's good to go.

As quoted from Wiki-fucking-pedia
Gunsmith and Factory Repair Exception
While the Gun Control Act prohibits the direct mail-ordering of firearms, a person may ship a gun via contract carrier (UPS or FedEx usually) to a gunsmith (who always has an FFL) or the gunmaker's factory for repairs or modification. After the repair work is done, the gunsmith or the factory can ship the weapon directly back to the customer.

Well I got it done. Took all the paperwork with me Thanks Craigster for the like it worked like a charm.
This is a great board!

Wiki-fucking-pedia??? While I don't dispute wikipedias take on this subject, for laughs I though I would consult an equally reputable source, Snopes.com. They don't have it listed.

Both sights are pretty damn liberal if you check many things on their sites.

Well everything printed on those sites should be taken with a grain of salt or two. But I've never run into a liberal point of view from them.

And I knew I'd get razzed for quoting from them.

Anyway lb404 I hope you gave them a friggin ear full and thanked them for wasting your time and money and doing their friggin job for them
It would have been every thing I could do to keep from beating the crap out of them.

What did the fools say when you showed them their regs? I hope you rubbed it in a bit.

I had a similar experience when mailing a shotgun back to Remington for repair from a post office in downtown Philadelphia. When the clerk asked what was in the box and I said "a shotgun" she had a fit and told me in no uncertain terms that it couldn't be mailed. I told her she was wrong and to get her supervisor who also told me it couldn't be shipped.

I then told him to get out his regulations and look up the fact that it could be sent back to the manufacturer. Well he pulls out this giant book and the two of them spend some time going through it then I hear him say "I'll be damned he's right." They shipped the gun without any further discussion. Just stand up for your rights and make then abide by their own rules.

Knowing the Law rules regulations and providing the # or provision of the Gun Control act of 1968 will " Always " put you in front of postal employees . Whom for the most part have IQ's less than room temperature !. Pray for a Scorching day when forced to deal with those brain dead zombies !. Another stellar example of affirmative action hiring policies !. Our Gov. in lack of any meaningful training or action !.

Remember the Government wants to provide some sort of Health Care cluster F ck bound red tape

regulations ( actually a non revocable tax ) . How about just running SS, Medicare , and allowing the

Economy to work on it's own . Personally I don't want " ANY MORE HELP " from the Government EVER !.

I simply can't afford their programs any longer !!!. So Stimulate that DC
