like the title says, am I able to do this ,and how is it done without running into the straw purchase,transfer laws?
However, if Mr. Brown buys the firearm with his own money to give to Mr. Black as a gift (with no service or tangible thing of value provided by Mr. Black), Mr. Brown is the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm and should answer "YES" to question 11.a. However, the transferor/seller may not transfer a firearm to any person he/she knows or has reasonable cause to believe is prohibited under 18 U.S.C. 922(g), (n) or (x).
Gift card to gun shop.
Gift card like others said.
Going to the gun shop and paying for it while they fill out the paperwork screams felony straw purchase.
The 4473 does let you buy it as a gift, it's just not as easy as giving them the gift card.
It's not a straw purchase, but could look like one to the dealer and cause the sale 2b refused.Going to the gun shop and paying for it while they fill out the paperwork screams felony straw purchase.
