Can I ship my firearms in a moving container? So if you have firearms and you find yourself before a move, you wanna know how you’re able to move your firearms from one state to another. How do you actually do this? The first thing you need to know is that storing or shipping any kinds of firearms or ammo are strictly prohibited from moving and shipping containers, meaning they can’t do it, you can’t ship it in that at all. If you put any firearms or ammunition in your shipping or moving container, it violates the company policy and it’s very dangerous. Aside from that, if you do violate the company policy, not only will your firearms obviously not be insured, but the entire contents of your container will not be insured. if you are caught violating the company policy. So don’t do it at all, it is not worth the risk. So what do you do if you need to ship your firearms from state to state? How do you actually take them from one location to another safely and legally? There are generally two options. The first one is take it with you in your car. If you’re taking the firearms and ammunition in your car, you have to make sure that they’re well concealed and inaccessible. So that means in the trunk of your car in something that’s locked so that there is not any danger of them being stolen Accessed in any way during your travel or that anything might happen to them if God forbid you’re in some kind of an accident The second method of shipping which I actually think might be a better choice is contacting the US Postal Service The US Postal Service are allowed to ship firearms and ammunition from one location to another from one state to another you do need to declare that that is what you’re shipping obviously and make absolutely sure that your guns are not loaded to avoid any risk, any danger, and to avoid violating the company policy. So in short, Jim, if you need to move and you have firearms, whether it be just one handgun or a whole collection of rifles, just know that you cannot move them in a shipping container at all. You need to be responsible and take them with you in your car, or ship them properly through the approved channels through the U.S. Postal Service.
