question re: guns as gifts legality

<< < (4/4)

Mntnman:
I was going to sell a gun to a guy by shipping it to his ffl. My ffl said it was legal but his ffl didn't want to receive from a private citizen so my ffl was going to ship it to him but the guy ended up coming to pick it up. ( both of us in state)

Yes, if you cannot otherwise purchase that gun legally.

Here's the def on straw purchases, courtesy of the National Shooting Sports Foundation:

"A straw purchase occurs when the actual buyer of a firearm is unable to pass the required federal background check, or does not want his or her full name associated with the purchase, and has someone else who can pass the required background check purchase the firearm for him or her."

Whatever, that would be one heckuva Mother-in-Law.   She's a keeper.
