Is this saying I can accept or send a rifle by mail from or to anyone not prohibited in my state of Pa.?? Is it accurate??


FROM THE BATFE:
May a nonlicensee ship a firearm by common or contract carrier?

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.
[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(2)(A), 922(a) (3), 922(a)(5) and 922(e), 27 CFR 478.31 and
478.30]

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

A nonlicensee may not transfer a firearm to a non-licensed resident of another
State. A nonlicensee may mail a shotgun or rifle to a resident of his or her own
State or to a licensee in any State. The Postal Service recommends that long
guns be sent by registered mail and that no marking of any kind which would
indicate the nature of the contents be placed on the outside of any parcel
containing firearms. Handguns are not mailable. A common or contract carrier
must be used to ship a handgun.
[18 U.S.C. 1715, 922(a)(3), 922(a)(5) and 922 (a)(2)(A)]

Thanks C3,

say you live in Cranberry Twp, I like in State College. We are BOTH residents of PA. You can MAIL me an unloaded rifle or shotgun by US Mail so long as you do not have reason to believe that I cannot legally own a gun.

This is the part I have always been misinformed about. I've passed up a lot o good deals in Pa. because dealer fees would make them ok deals.

Hope there isn't a test later. Not being a liscensed dealer in Pa. I was most concerned about purchasing and receiving said purchase in the mail by a seller in Pa.
The sad part is, this will probably all change shortly when the Libs get there way. Thanks again c3.
