How To Move Your Weapons

Since the foundation of the "Brady Bill" legislation in 1994, contract carriers are permitted to ship firearms for their clients. Naturally, this service obligates potential customers to follow explicit procedures. Firearms must be emptied of all ammunition and the details of every firearm (make, model, and serial number) must be included in the inventory. In addition, movers will not ship your ammo for you. That is the responsibility of the owner. It's always a smart idea to check with local state law on the guidelines and restrictions concerning weapon security.

Inform Others of Your Address Change

Before you move, there are several companies, people, and local offices you should give notice to about your address change other than your family. The most obvious is the post office. Post offices often offer a forwarding service for your mail where basically, any mail that is sent to your previous address will be forwarded to your new one. However, the forwarding address only runs for a limited time, so it's best that you notify everyone who needs to know as soon as possible. Other companies you should get in touch with include: your telephone, cable, water, and electric.
