    Is this a privilege available to dealers only, or can anyone who is not prohibited ship a gun to another non-prohibited person within the state?
    Any other tidbits of information you can share would be appreciated.
    Are there any specifics that would apply to handgun and not long gun or vice-versa? I know this thread was started with reference specifically to handguns, but I may be offering a rifle for sale soon and would like to know where I stand before I place an ad.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
    No handguns through USPS unless you are an excepted entity (FFL/LEO/etc)

    For shipping long guns:

    No markings on box.

    Must declare shipment is firearm to clerk.

    Recommend full insurance and restricted delivery (addressee/auth agent must sign for package personally)

    I hate to dig up old post but...

    What about my brother in law in New York. He has a PA permit and has my fathers guns. I want them here in PA. What can i do to get them? Do i need to use an FFL? Can he just bring them to a PA dealer or does he need to ship them.
    Can i do the transfer at a sheriffs office?

    Handguns or long arms, as long as he can legally transport them through NY, he can transport them to a PA FFL himself and then the FFL can transfer them to you after you undergo the PICS. (Interstate transfers of guns must go through a FFL)

    By law, the sheriff can do it, but I hightly doubt that you will find one that will do it. Easier just to do it through a FFL.

    thank you. So if he lived here in PA there would be no need for FFL?

    If your brother lived in PA he could give you any long arms with no paperwork. Handguns would still have to go through a FFL.

    Just to make sure I understand what's been stated in this thread;

    When selling a pistol out of state I first receive his payment via USPS money order. I then need his FFL to fax their information to me to verify that they are legit. I can then package up the firearm and ship it via UPS or FedEx; Or I could have it shipped through USPS, but only through my local FFL.

    Am I correct in my understanding?

    FFL is not obligated to send you a FFL copy.
    Some will send you the copy, some will not. For those that do not they will send you either the whole FFL# ~or~ the first 3 and last 5 of their FFL#.

    Regardless if you get a copy or just the #, you *should* then verify either one through ATF EZ-Check:
    https://www.atfonline.gov/fflezcheck/
    or by calling ATF Licensing Center.
