    Default Abundance of caution- re: shipping long gun

    Found this on the site:

    Non-FFL
    Intrastate (within a state) Long Arms (Rifles, Shotguns): A non FFL can ship a long arm to an eligible person or a FFL within the state via common carrier (UPS, FedEx, etc.) or USPS.

    Just want to be absolutely sure I can send a long gun to someone in the state. I just pack it up and go down to the post office and tell them, oh, it's a shotgun?

    Then there's the question: how do I know who's receiving it? (Eligible to buy/own a gun? Proof of age?)

    Any comments/experiences/opinions appreciated.

    Yes, you may lawfully ship or mail a long gun to another person within PA.

    Proof of age or residency - have them scan or fax a copy of their drivers license or LTCF to you.

    Eligibility - there is no way to know for sure. Do you have reason to believe they are prohibited?
