Can a Moving Company Transport Firearms?

You may have several firearms that you’re wondering if you will be able to relocate from Phoenix to your new home. Moving companies are allowed to relocate firearms that are empty of ammunition, but certain moving companies still won’t relocate firearms because of their own company policies. Check with each company before hiring them. You’ll also need to check with your new local municipality whether you’re legally allowed to have your types of firearms in your new city or town. If you’re moving to a new state, you’ll also want to make sure that your firearms are not banned by the state.

Even though many moving companies will move your firearms for you, it will be up to you to prepare the firearms properly. As already mentioned, your firearms must have no ammunition in them. In addition to being a safety precaution to protect against any accidental firings, moving companies are legally prohibited from relocating ammunition. Once your guns have no ammo in them, it’s best to pack them in a hard-shelled, padded gun cases. This will best help protect them against damage, and you’ll want to label each case with the firearm’s make, model, serial number, unique characteristics, and caliber or gauge. It’s also important to have the gun registration documents with you when you move.
