Mail a suppressor to myself?

[Skully]

Cans don't need the 20 form anyway

Correct, you can take them across state lines without getting permission first, but as always the Quiet pickle has to be in your possession. Shipping it is where I was stuck if going to a friend or relative that is a no no if they open it as they are not the owner of the stamp, going to a UPS store or mailbox will they hold it until you pick it up is another option I think.

Never had to do, but you cannot be the only one that has done it or thinking about doing it.

I did find this, was on Silencer Shop's website;


Can I mail a suppressor to myself?

Yes, you can send yourself a suppressor, as long as it is going to one of the 42 states where gun suppressors are legal. You cannot ship your suppressor to a state in which suppressors are illegal, nor can they be taken out of the United States.

According to the ATF, “Any person may ship a firearm to himself or herself in the care of another person in the State where he or she intends to hunt or engage in any other lawful activity. The package should be addressed to the owner “in the care of” the out-of-State resident. Upon reaching its destination, persons other than the owner must not open the package or take possession of the firearm”

If you ship a suppressor to yourself, it’s suggested that you coordinate with a private service like UPS or FedEx. Note, you cannot ship NFA items through the US postal service.




Maybe that should answer your question. I see no one else chimed in with experience or knowledge yet.
