I saw an article on how to ship a gun so it doesn't get stolen.
Rule #1: Pack it in a box big enough that it can't be easily hidden under a shirt.
Rule #2 put the address on every side of the box.

I forget the rest.

Gunbroker.com

Exactly. But it you aren't a FFL I think you have to take it to one to have them transfer it. Most of the items on gunbroker are sold by FFL dealers.

Yea i believe they have a list of Friendly FFL dealers in different areas that will help you take care of some of that hassle. They'll probally just charge you an extra couple bucks in shipping and paper work thats all. Try your local Arms shop they'll def be able to answer. Let us know too, I'm a bit curious myself

I went to the shop down the road to verify that they would do the transfer like they said on gunbroker. They said they will do any FFL transfer coming or going for $25. $25 is the standard rate.
