Will apple allow it to be sold?

I guess I must have missed this, I was in the UPS store yesterday to make a financial transaction and read their placard that said they will not ship firearms, ammo, scopes, sights, gun cases, or basically anything gun related. I will never use them again and any online sale I want will be lost if my choice is to use UPS.

UPS does ship guns. I wonder if it is “UPS Store” who has the problem.

I just got this off the web. UPS will/does ship firearms within the USA.

Had the same problem a few years ago and called UPS. They said, then, that corporate didn't disallow guns and ammo but individual franchises may. Used FedEx instead.

Also recently used UPS to ship a couple of cases of ammo with no problem.
