Right, but my question is...if I buy an AR from you, you can ship it to me no problem. Why, if I were to order one online, would I have to go through an FFL? Because it is potentially interstate commerce?

Why is everyone AFRAID TO SHIP A FIREARM?!

Because you have to fill out a 4473 when purchasing through a dealer.
Because they are FFL's and private citizens are not...gotcha. Well, wow...I see where my misunderstanding comes from though because the post office says long guns are OK, but not pistols. I just never made it to the "pistols through contract carriers is fine" part.
I'll definitely have to reconsider the shipping question now. Thanks for the info!
lol
Here's my take on it.
I have a Sig Sauer SP 2022 9mm that the slide was failing to re engage after being fired, I called Sig and they provided me with a next day air UPS shipping label and told me to box it up and send it to them, Saturday (1/29/12) at 1:26 PM I dropped the pistol off at UPS, Monday I check tracking and it's still at the UPS I dropped it of at, I figure it was the weekend and they are just slow.
Tuesday comes so I check the tracking # again, it's still where I dropped it off at, so now I'm a little nervous and decided to call the UPS I dropped it off at and they tell me that it's been picked up and that the driver forgot to scan it, that sounds real fishy to me so I call the customer service line, they tell me that it's got to still be where I dropped it off at.
Now I'm really nervous, so I call them back, lady promises me it's been shipped out, I'm not giving up though until someone finds my pistol!
I then call the customer service line again and tell them I want a tracer put on the package, he tells me that since I'm not the actual shipper of it (Sig is) that they will have to call for the tracer, by now I'm livid!!
So I call the customer service rep at Sig because he gave me his direct line and tell him the situation.
His response " Do not worry Mr Barrs, you call me back on Friday and if we haven't found the pistol, we'll send you a brand new one"
Now I don't care if it's lost, kinda hope it is.
Get up Wednesday morning and check the tracking #, well much to my surprise, it shipped out of the UPS I dropped it off at Tuesday night at 7:35PM and arrived in NH yesterday morning at 10:00am. From the very same UPS that had promised me it was already shipped...
If it wasn't under warranty I would never shipped it and now after this experience, I don't think I ever will again.
Long read and I'm sorry.

I want to meet, talk to, and look the person in the eyes whom I'm about to sell a firearm to. I want to make sure they're a GA resident and over 21. I can't do that through UPS. Simple as that.
Nothing to do with fear. I ain't selling a firearm to anyone that's not standing in front of me.
I going to look the person eye to eye, swap cash or other items, and be done with it.

I'm not afraid to. .. I just don't care enough to. There are enough people around my neck of the woods that I don't need to ship. I can FTF while running another errand.
