2. It is only the shipping company's policy to send the gun overnight, no legal requirement. So, personally, I would not ask for overnight service, I would let them make that determination.

The problem there is that if the shipment is lost or damaged they will not have to cover the claim if it went by a method not listed in their regulations. Fedex happily take long guns by ground but very specifically say no handguns, so its really up to the sender if you want to take that gamble.
Of course we are seemingly paying for a lack of security in their system, but alas they have control over that.
Thankfully as an FFL we have USPS as an option for handguns, it can be a little bit of a pain but our local guys are decent and dont give us too much grief. Of course we receive many a gun from a dealer sent without any sort of signature needed, and left like any other package in the shared mailboxes at the end of our building.
