A bunch of years ago there was a case of a guy who bought a gun for his buddy using his LEO discount (I think) and he shipped to the gun to an FFL to transfer to his buddy, but was convicted of a straw purchase because the buddy wrote a check to the guy that said "Glock 20" on the memo line.
So, even though the final purchaser did not get the gun from the straw purchaser, and he passed a background check at the FFL that transferred it to him, the first guy got convicted anyway because he was buying the gun for someone else.
Do any of you remember the details of this case? Maybe something I can look up and point to when asked?
