A lot of good all this does Brian now, but an ATF Q&A says you can send a firearm to yourself in another state by sending it addressed to yourself, in care of another person, so long as the other person does not open the package or "take possession of" the firearm. Hunters do it all the time, according to the website. But Brian already said goodbye to those guns. Just everybody else remember if it comes up again. Still, it wouldn't hurt to check at that time, since ATF has been known to change its policies from time to time, like on bump stocks. First they have to test which way the wind is blowing, then they made a decision, then if nobody howls too loud, that's their policy.
Jvalentour, a gun owner can ship to a FFL holder.
I don't think Brian has as CHL, so reciprocity doesdn't enter into it. I do have a CHL, and I do check reciprocity, but the rules for carrying vary so much from state to state that I am extra careful when in another state. Some places, you can't carry in a restaurant that serves alcohol, while in Texas you can unless 51% of the revenue of the restaurant is from alcohol, and that can change almost monthly for some places. Best to avoid the issue. I hate seeing a sign with 51 on it after going in a place and having to turn around and lock a gun in the trunk, thus telling thieves where to find a gun. So I lock it away well before arriving at a restaurant or just leave it at home. If you're going to be drinking at all, it's best to leave it at home to start with, imho.
