i guess so. I wasn't aware you could just ship assault rifles across state lines
If its a long gun, its legal to mail it to yourself. Handguns must be from a FFL holder to another FFL holder. The USPS doesnt like to publicize this, but I've shipped my long guns to myself before. Ask the Feds, theyll tell you its fine. If its fully automatic, thats a whole new world, those are some confusing ass laws.
Now the problem here is, he lives in California. You have some bizarre gun laws out there. No dealer in his right mind would ship them directly to Aldon, that would be a federal offense. FFL dealers can only ship to FFL dealers. Granted there are a pile of different licenses out there depending on the type of firearm, but there is no way these rifles were shipped to a private residence, I seriously doubt Aldon has any sort of FFL. Someone had to pick them up, then drive them back, thats the only way this could have happened, unless he shipped him to himself, which I would find highly unlikely with the gun laws out there.
