UPS......LEARN YOUR POLICY!!!!!!

Um..the law IS the statutes.

The ATF is um...well, let's just say they are supposed to enforce the law and not write it.

I can't find "B 8".

If you mean a FAQ, the ATF has played fast and loose with actual law forever.

Their long going statement in some FAQ or other on their site (which I can't find right now) regarding notification to carrier is just wrong, simple as that. It's one of those "everybody knows because ATF says".

At any rate, if you can copy/paste just what you're referring to above, would make it helpful in understanding your point.

It's in the Q&A section. The Federal Firearms Regulations Reference Guide 2000 (9/05) where that is from is the same that is referenced by Gunbroker and others.

I'm not trying to say or interpret law just referencing something as advise is doled out...

(B8) May a nonlicensee ship a firearm

by common or contract carrier?

A nonlicensee may ship a firearm

by a common or contract carrier to a

resident of his or her own State or to

a licensee in any State. A common or

contract carrier must be used to ship

a handgun. In addition, Federal law

requires that the carrier be notified

that the shipment contains a firearm

and prohibits common or contract

carriers from requiring or causing any

label to be placed on any package

indicating that it contains a firearm.

[18 U.S.C. 922(a)(2)(A), 922(a) (3),

922(a)(5) and 922(e), 27 CFR 478.31 and

478.30]

While I have you here! I remember reading something about mail order ammunition in TN - something about a law that drivers have to log or report it to the state? Is it true?

I thought that was what you were referring to. However the law, as has been copied in this thread, does NOT support that.

Again:

"It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to deliver or cause to be delivered to any common or contract carrier for transportation or shipment in interstate or foreign commerce, to persons other than licensed importers, licensed manufacturers, licensed dealers, or licensed collectors, any package or other container in which there is any firearm or ammunition without written notice to the carrier that such firearm or ammunition is being transported or shipped; ..."

and

"No person shall knowingly deliver or cause to be delivered to any common or contract carrier for transportation or shipment in interstate or foreign commerce to any person other than a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector, any package or other container in which there is any firearm or ammunition without written notice to the carrier that such firearm or ammunition is being transported or shipped: "
