I am in the process of doing a trade with someone for the 17 and the A-5. For anyone that thinks shipping a gun is easy, I want some of what you are smoking. What a pain in the butt. Everyone tells me something different. I can't believe so many people don't know how to do their jobs[:@].

One shop tells me they won't do it, another tells me I can do it, but I'll never convince the post office to go along with it. Another tells me they will do it but they have to ship them and receive them, for a pretty hefty price of course.

I called my post office and they said at first they couldn't do it, but after urging them to look it up they said "Oh hey, we can ship guns.". However I have to find a box to ship it in. Maybe that's why my local shop wants $25 a gun plus postage to ship them. AAAAHHHHHGGGG!!!!

So I need a copy of the FFL paper work AND I need to call the shop? I don't have long distance on my phone. I can't call out of state to confirm that I am shipping a gun to a location.

There is NO WAY this is easier than you coming to my house, looking at a weapon, giving me money an leaving with a gun you know you wanted. No muss no fuss, takes 20 minutes, and that is with BSing for a while.
