I think you are safer to use the FFL. I found one that would ship for $25. Let the other individual pay his cost of the FFL at his end. Or charge him the cost for both in the transaction. I think the paperwork is cleaner too as the receiving FFL has to verify the other person as I understand it. Just my personal experience. Good luck!
Thanks. Sounds like good advice.

May a nonlicensee ship a firearm through the U. S. Postal Service?

A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own state or to a licensee in any state. Handguns are not mailable.

Thanks. Guess that means can't use the USPS.

Can a handgun be shipped via UPS or DHL or a private company between two non-dealers individuals in Texas???

Mailing Handgun in Texas

Does anyone know the rules on mailing a handgun from one Texas resident to another without having to send it to a FFL.
