The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute,® Inc., (SAAMI®), has revised and updated its information publication, “Sporting Firearms: Safe Handling Considerations and Shipping Guidelines for Interstate Transportation.”

The publication, which can be accessed here, reviews general transportation regulations for both Federal Firearms License (FFL) holders and private citizens, common carrier restrictions, packing firearms for shipment and firearm safety.

The guidelines have been prepared by SAAMI to provide anyone concerned with the handling or shipment of sporting firearms certain basic and important facts about the subject. SAAMI notes that the statements and recommendations in the publication do not supersede local, state or federal regulations, or constitute legal advice.

“SAAMI regularly updates its publications to ensure it is providing the industry and the public with the most current, accurate information, in this case on the shipping of sporting firearms,” said Brian Osowiecki, SAAMI Director, Regulatory Affairs & Administration.

SAAMI is the organization at the forefront of promoting firearm safety by creating standards that ensure safety, reliability and interchangeability of firearms, ammunition, suppressors, and their components.
