Handgun shipping question???

[JES Consulting]

Hello guys.
Is it legal for an FFL to bring a handgun in to U.S. Post office to sent to another FFL?
Or it needs to be picked up from his/her place of business.

I think it is more general question than Gun Law question, sorry if posted in wrong forum.
Thank you in advance

USPS recommends sending it via registered mail.

Do you need to show the Postmaster the recieving FFL license?

No. USPS requires that the shipping FFL submit Form 1508.
