Shipping firearm to FFL. A hypothetical conundrum.

[zipspyder]

Sorry guys, didn't realize it was a handgun. Not sure how I overlooked that! Mistakenly thought I was a rifle.

@Frank...lighten up a little ffs. Don't care if your staff and don't need preaching/law quoting.

Actually you do.

Legal matters are serious and need to be taken seriously. Bad information can get folks into a lot of trouble. You thought you knew what the facts were, and you thought you knew what the law was. You were wrong on both counts.

So you suggested that the OP should have done something which (1) couldn't be done legally; and (2) if it were done could have had some serious, negative consequences.

If you're not sure what the law is, don't assume that you know. Ask and/or do some research. And if you're sure you know what the law is, do the research anyway (which is something that lawyers do all the time).
