    My son is in the army and stationed in Washington state and he wants to sell me a Mossberg Shockwave he bought while there. My question is does anyone know if he can ship the gun directly to an FFL here in La., or does it need to be sent FFL to FFL? I've ordered plenty of guns but it's always been from online shops, never a person to person transaction.

    He can ship directly to the FFL with a copy of his DL if the FFL accepts from individuals. Just contact the FFL first, taking a gun from an individual isn't a big deal at all.

    Also check the shipping companies procedure for shipping firearms. FedEx and UPS have special rules about shipping firearms and it is illegal for an individual to ship a gun usps.

    It's illegal to ship a handgun via USPS by an individual. A FFL can ship a handgun via USPS. An individual can ship a long gun via USPS or by common carrier. An individual can ship a handgun via common carrier---i.e. UPS, Fedex, etc.
