Jeff is correct and to go one step further, if this involves a NFA firearm (full auto, short barreled etc.) you need to get ATF's permission via a 5320 form to do so. If it is a Non-NFA firearm then no form is needed provided as Jeff stated it is legal to be possessed by you in your state and the destination state.
