USPS mulls mail-in handguns, triggering a new gun-policy debate

The Postal Service proposed a rule to allow mailing concealable firearms like handguns for the first time since 1927, with safeguards. In-state mailing would be allowed; mailing across state lines would be limited to sending the gun to oneself under someone else’s care and requiring the recipient to open it. The DOJ argues the Second Amendment requires USPS to ship constitutionally protected firearms, while about two dozen state attorneys general oppose the plan, saying it would bypass state laws and undermine public safety. The public comment period ended May 4, and USPS is reviewing feedback.
