Can a Moving Company Transport Firearms?

If you have firearms and are moving, it is reasonable to wonder if the moving company will transport these items, particularly if you have numerous firearms that are larger, such as hunting rifles. The short answer is that it varies from moving company to moving company, so when contacting companies to get quotes, you should also mention that you have firearms and find out their policy on moving them.

Even if a moving company will relocate your firearms in the truck, however, it is against the law for a moving company to transport ammunition. That’s because ammunition can be combustible, so it is a potential hazard for the moving company to be responsible for these items. So, prior to moving you will need to make alternative plans for transporting your ammunition. It is also important that you make sure you have removed all ammunition from your firearms before the move, and have put the safety on.
