I was looking at the Gunsamerica explantions of shipping firearms and this is what it says:

Article § 178.29 provides that only certain people are allowed to ship firearms. Only individuals who are licensed importers, licensed manufacturers, licensed dealers, or licensed collectors can ship or receive firearms. Therefore, a person wanting a certain firearm from another state or even from another county and wants the firearm shipped must go to a person with a Federal Firearms License and follow through with proper shipping procedures. The FFL holder will have to mail a copy or fax a copy of his or her firearms license to the person doing the shipping. They also have to have a FFL. You can find a person with a FFL at a local gun dealership, gun shop and even some pawn shops.

I was under the impression that a private individual could ship to an FFL holder or a C&R


So many guns, so little time!
