I challenge you to show me a case where anyone has ever been convicted of neglecting to notify a carrier that a shipment contains a firearm.SCone wrote:According to the boys that'll be coming for you if your screw it up....
"A nonlicensee may ship a firearm by a common or contract 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."
It's that "federal law" stuff that would get in the way. The "licensee" here is an FFL.
A long gun can be sent via USPS also.
Would be best to exchange a copy of your driver's licenses to protect both sides of the deal.

Re: Question on Shipping a gun within the state of texas...
Two days ago I printed a FedEx Ground tag from my computer. The box is a rifle sized box. I took it to the FedEx place to drop it off. I said "Firearms in there" to the clerk. She took and said thanks. I've done this several times without problems. How would they prove that I didn't tell them that there are firearms in the box? "You didn't tell us!", "Yes, I did!", "No you didn't!", And on, and on.....
I have also shipped firearms straight to people's houses within the state. I just ask for a TXDL and ship to the address on it. It is just like a FTF sale. Instead of meeting halfway between to Houston and Dallas, let UPS do the driving!
