Can you ship a gun through the mail if you take it apart and ship it in separate boxes?

No, shipping a gun through the mail, even if disassembled and sent in separate boxes, is generally not legal without following strict regulations. Firearms are classified as regulated items, and shipping them requires compliance with federal, state, and local laws. Additionally, carriers like the USPS, UPS, and FedEx have their own policies regarding the shipment of firearms. Always check the relevant laws and carrier regulations before attempting to ship a firearm.
