Thread: Posting Firearms?

Firearms can only be sent dealer to dealer and the police paperwork is not negotiable, don't be that guy that loses a fire arm and has no legs to stand on due to trying to get around the rules.
The media would have a field day, not to mention your "fit and proper" status would likely be very quickly re evaluated if it was found to have been sent without proper documentation etc.
Not to mention if it fell in to the wrong hands the ramifications are well known.
Do the paperwork, pay the money to send it via the dealer network fully insured and above board. Cover your arse !
The paperwork is not that hard and doesn't usually take more thsn a week to process, I've often had them back within a few days.

Where do you get that information from? It's not what the law says, or even what the police guidance says... I'm not trying to be a dick, and I think you're right in that it's best to err on the side of caution, but my interpretation of what I've read is far from that black and white

Well ring your local arms officer and see what he says.....rather than asking on the Internet
Good luck with that
