Shipping a rifle home?????

[jluck]

If she has a hard case for it or wants to buy one and a couple of dimestore locks, (about the same as shipping) she can just take it on the plane in checked luggage.

Flying with guns is really easy unless you're scheduled to deplane someplace that's insane like NY or NJ.

She is aware, The question is about shipping a rifle home....

After talking with friend, I guess I should rephrase....It is "Her'' rifle that she wants to send home.

So, really not trying to be pedantic here. Would just hate to see someone hassled by the Feds.

But, if your wife didn't reside in CO when her father died or when the transfer of ownership was made. It may need to go through an FFL. Not really sure about inheritance or if that changes things.

Now, if the rifle was given to her....while she lived at home in CO....that'd be hard to disprove. Just sayin'.

It would fall under the 'bequest' exemption for the transfer.
