Shipping an Air Gun

Post by TomJ »

I want to confirm that can legally ship an air gun to a private individual without involving an FFL, am I correct? Thanks, Tom

You shouldn't have any problems shipping in the USA
If it's going to another country,i would check with the shipping Co
Also,if you are shipping a pcp/co2 rifle/pistol make sure you empty out the air tank(s)

It depends. Some states, like Michigan, treat air guns as firearms under state law. Do your homework.

Isn't Michigan where Detroit is?

No firearms problem there. (Sarcasm font)

They had no problem shipping an airgun to me. Turnabout is fair play.

Air guns are not considered firearms in Michigan anymore. We finally got that changed in 2015.

New Jersey is the same way.
