Emmaggy, Did you inform USPS that you were shipping a gun? Did you fill out an sign form 1508? If so and they let you go ahead they are in violation of their own rules which state, dealer to dealer only. If nothing happens, then that is fine. If it is lost or stolen and you try to collect insurance money that is where things will get hot. Just trying to help here, what ever works for you is fine with me.
