now that's the answer I needed, direct from an FFL- thanks

I've had problems with both USPS and UPS clerks. One said "is that a gun ?" because she would not ship guns- even though UPS does ship guns. A USPS clerk would not ship someone else's rifle in a locked case, just because the person sending it, a woman, told them what it was ahead of time. In reality USPS can ship guns. This person was sending it ahead on a hunting trip, and didn't want to take it on a plane.

that's the problem, the clerks are not educated at UPS and USPS, as to the exact laws- and most of them are not the sharpest knives in the drawer, if you know what I mean
