Hi,
Does anybody have any experience shipping a handgun, owned by a revocable living trust, between trustees? Is this legal to do without going through an FFL, and will one of the major carriers allow it?
To give you a context, imagine that Joe CCW is traveling from his home in state A to state B (which honors his CCW) to work for several weeks. He will then depart directly from state B for overseas, and cannot take firearms with him. In order to have a handgun available to him in state B, he plans to carry it to state B, and then ship it to a trustee back in state A before beginning overseas movement. The trustee will then store the handgun on his behalf until his return to state A. Let's assume that the trustee is an immediate family member and not a prohibited person, so there will be no appearance of evading a background check.
I realize this is probably a pretty obscure question, but I figure someone here might have gone through this before and have some wisdom to share.
Thanks,
Chris
