Lots of good info and ideas above. Just one misstatement that I caught:
For starters, your gun has to be mailed FFL to FFL
Federal law actually states that a non-licensee (non-FFL) may ship to a licencee (FFL) in any state. You don't have to have an FFL on the sender's end. However, more and more FFLs are choosing (it's not a requirement) to receive only from another FFL. You have to check the policy of the receiving FFL.

Complicating the matter, a non-FFL cannot ship a handgun through the U.S. Postal Service; must use a common carrier (FedEx, UPS, etc.). These latter, in their infinite wisdom, are now requiring (policy again, not law) that handguns be shipped next day air, which costs a ton for a heavy gun going a long way. Offset that by the fact that if you ship through an FFL on your end, you'll probably pay USPS costs plus whatever transfer fee your FFL charges.

Point is that organizational policies (e.g., "I'll only receive shipment from another FFL" or "You have to ship Next Day Air) are not laws. The only federal requirements here are (1) you have to ship to an FFL if shipping to another state; and (2) non-FFLs can't ship handguns through the U.S. Postal Service.

All that said, either hang onto your LCP, or try to sell it locally.
