Hand Gun Shipping question?

[Bluesman]

I want to gift a Taurus .38 snubby to my cousin in Arkansas. I have a bill of sale I've used in the past so that's not an issue. He lives a bit North of Mena Ar.
Meeting him half way is the obvious solution but this time of year sucks.
Simple question:
Can I legally simply ship it to him?

No. It would have to go to a FFL and he would have to fill out paperwork.

[wsteffen]

Legally, NO. Has to go FFL to FFL.

No, you'll have to utilize an FFL on his end.

[Bluesman]

Thanks guys. FFL was what I suspected.

Has to go FFL to FFL.

That’s not correct. Just has to be shipped to an FFL. The sender does not have to go through an FFL.

And if I exchange the gun hand to hand?

And if I exchange the gun hand to hand?

I’m not 100% positive, but the way I understand it, you are still supposed to transfer through an FFL if he resides out-of-state.

I'm going from Burleson, TX to Hot Springs soon, express?

I would do a fishing trip to Arkansas this spring.
