Sadly, my father-in-law died recently and the family is trying to give me his firearm collection. I live in Louisiana. I called the MD state police and they stated that the guns have to be shipped from an FFL in MD to an FFL in LA. My understanding of Federal Law is that a private individual can use a contract carrier to ship weapons to an FFL in the destination state. Can't my family just take the packaged guns to FEDEX and ship them to my FFL in LA? Is there a MD law that says private individuals cannot ship firearms to an FFL via a contract carrier? We are just trying to save the FFL fees in MD which may get expensive as there are several firearms to transfer.
I am also assuming that the MD waiting period doesn't apply since I'm taking ownership of the weapons in LA.
Note: I don't know if this matters, but I don't know if the weapons were listed in the will or not yet, so this may be considered a gift as opposed to an inheritance.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
