Notify Others of Your Address Change

Prior to your move, there are certain companies, people, and local offices you should notify 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 essentially, any mail that is sent to your previous address will be forwarded to your new one. However, the forwarding address only lasts for a short amount of time, so it's a good idea that you inform everyone who needs to know as soon as possible. Other companies you should get in contact with include: your telephone, cable, water, and electric.

How To Move Your Guns

From the inception of the "Brady Bill" in the mid 90's, contract carriers are permitted to move weapons for their clients. Unsurprisingly, this service requires potential customers to follow precise guidelines. Guns must be emptied of all ammunition and the particulars of every weapon (make, model, and serial number) must be included in the inventory. Also, relocation experts will not transport your ammo for you. The owner is responsible for that. It's always a wise idea to check with local state legislation on the guidelines and limitations regarding firearm security.
