What is the easiest legal way to ship a handgub? One family member to another?

atf dot gov may be helpful; IIRC, you can ship interstate to yourself (i.e., if one were to go on vacation one could ship it to one's self in care of someone at that destination); shipping to anyone else or otherwise transferring ownership interstate requires an FFL to send/receive.

You can send a handgun without an FFL but it has to go to an FFL holder via independent carrier, FedEx, NOT UPS or USPS. I'm not 100% certain but I think the shipping to ones self only applies to long guns. When you ship you will have to take it to a major drop off not to a Kinko's or UPS store. They will not ship it.
