Actually, following your link, I found this:wgoforth wrote:Thinking you may have misread this? Not saying an individual cannot ship, but individual cannot ship to an individual. an individual MUST ship to an FFL.
(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]
IIRC, this has been discussed in the past, and while legal, Lone Star was mentioned then as being willing to ship firearms intrastate to another individual, while UPS and Fedex refused.
