Does it matter ?

[smokestack]

My wife and I both have LTCH and carry, other than a few traffic tickets we both have a clean record. My question is does it matter who does the NICS when we buy a gun ? I use to carry an LCP until she liked it and decided it was her new EDC, I like pocket guns and bought a little Kel-Tec to replace it. She had a Taurus and had me go trade it in for a different pistol that I did the paperwork on. Should we keep better track of who does the NICS for our guns between the two of us ? Just a question in the back of my mind. I consider us to be responsible gun owners (LTCH,gun safe, etc.) and we want to do our best to follow the rules. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

You can give a gun to your wife or vice versa (or anyone), as long as they (you) meet the criteria as a "proper person".

Anyone in state. Out of state, I think you need ffl transfer.
