Terry, that is bad advice.
The law is as follows:
When shipping across state lines, the gun must be shipped TO either an FFL OR the owner. Thats it. So, if you ship your gun to an "Authorized repair facility", gunsmith, or whoever, they had better have an FFL (or is that the authorization you were refering to?). You can also ship it to yourself, such as if you had a second residence in another state.
