Shipping Guns In the Mail? (Legally)

This video from CRPA TV discusses the significant lack of clarity surrounding California's new firearm laws, particularly concerning the acquisition of safety devices and other firearm-related items. The speaker, an expert in legal analysis of California firearm regulations, suggests that legal clarity will likely only be achieved through litigation, as the California DOJ has not provided sufficient guidance. This uncertainty is causing manufacturers to reconsider direct shipping to California customers, potentially requiring all transfers to go through FFLs.

This video from CRPA TV explains new California laws impacting firearm parts and accessories. As of January 1st, these items must be shipped with specific requirements, including purchaser acknowledgment of notices and verification of identity by the common carrier, treating them similarly to ammunition. The CRPA representative emphasizes the importance of compliance with these regulations.

This video details a significant legal victory where the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) has admitted that the federal ban on mailing handguns via USPS, codified in 18 USC 1715, is unconstitutional. The admission stems from a lawsuit filed by Gun Owners of America (GOA) and others, arguing the ban violates Second Amendment rights as interpreted by recent Supreme Court decisions like Heller, Bruen, and Rahimi. The DOJ's opinion concludes the ban fails the 'text and history' test and suggests federal prosecutors should cease enforcing it against handguns.

This video features an expert commentator discussing the significant confusion and potential firearm confiscation arising from California's new laws, AB1263 and AB1127. The laws are causing manufacturers like Century Arms to refuse returns of firearms for warranty repair to California owners, even for legally owned and registered firearms. The speaker advises owners to seek written guarantees for firearm returns during out-of-state service.

A federal judge in Texas has ruled that the government's ban on carrying firearms in post offices is unconstitutional, citing the Second Amendment and the Bruen test. This decision challenges long-standing USPS regulations and federal statutes, with potential appeals to higher courts. The ruling emphasizes that post offices are not historically considered 'sensitive places' for firearm bans.

This episode of Leaf & Barrel LIVE, titled "USPS FAILS....AGAIN!!", appears to focus on issues or problems encountered with the United States Postal Service, likely in relation to firearms or firearm-related shipments. As the title suggests a recurring problem, the discussion might involve frustrations, policy critiques, or personal anecdotes related to USPS handling of packages, potentially including firearms or their components. The content's relevance to the firearms community would depend on the specific nature of the USPS failures discussed.

This video presents a humorous skit emphasizing the critical importance of wearing eye protection at the shooting range. It visually demonstrates a handgun malfunction and uses a relatable, albeit exaggerated, scenario with a spent casing to highlight the potential dangers of inadequate eye safety. The creator, experienced in firearm handling and tactical gear, reinforces this essential safety message.

This video features a 'bulletproof' test where a tree is used as a ballistic medium to test various calibers from .22 LR up to .50 BMG. The Civilian Tactical host, demonstrating high-level firearms expertise, shows that even powerful rounds like .50 BMG can be significantly stopped by a dense tree, with none of the tested rounds achieving a complete pass-through. The test highlights the surprising terminal ballistics of different ammunition types against natural barriers.

This video from Civilian Tactical explores the concept of using a human body, simulated with ballistic gel, as a suppressor. The host fires a Derya Arms .22 rifle directly against a ballistic gel head and block, noting the shot sounded 'dead silent.' The experiment demonstrates the penetration depth of a .22 LR round through the simulated head and into the gel block.

This video demonstrates a ballistic test on a Belgian M1 steel helmet, evaluating its resistance against various calibers from birdshot to .223. The test, conducted by Civilian Tactical Host, shows that the helmet is not bulletproof against common handgun and rifle rounds like 9mm and .223. The host's energetic and demonstration-oriented style, coupled with expertise in tactical gear, provides a clear assessment of the helmet's limitations.
