Legal question.

Or you could just call your FFL and ask them. Most likely you can just go to the FFL with her and she can fill out the transfer herself. They just need to know that the person who ordered the firearm is actually there to receive it and the firearm went to the intended customer.

I can certainly understand the confusion on the issue. Info from all directions, some will be from other States, some Federal, ATF shenanigans, this stuff never ends.

As I say at my seminars, listening to people talk about gun laws is like listening to 9th grade boys talk about sex, no one knows what is going on but everyone is very enthused.

It addition to chaff from buddies and LE, you have dealers using the law as a fence to excuse sloth, greed, nonfeasance, name a sin.

I use the example from my own past, 18, could finally buy guns for self, went to buy HK93 at west side of Indy gun store. 3 guys sitting on stools discussing bass fishing. I pull out money and point to HK93 on wall, desiring to buy it. More bass fishing discussions.

When I asked again I was told it was "highly illegal" to sell me a gun. Note I had been to this store several times when dad bought me gifts. They knew me, knew my dad. Was not a stranger.

Put money away and and never went back.

The way it works here is that I buy a gun and submit the NICS check in my name. I take possession and bring it home.

My wife will see it, and if she really likes it the gun may magically become her gun.
Simple.

Trust me. It happens.

 

[Sigblitz]

But if its your money and you want to gift it to her, perfectly legal.

Wait, we're allowed to have our own money?
This thread is so confusing.

I thought that was a fairy tale other husbands told one another.

when my wife was buying her first gun, we were both there. When it was 4473 time, they made me do it. I told them that it was hers, she was going to pay them for it, she was going to walk out with it. But they insisted. I guess they thought I was trying to get a straw sale going. I filled it out, they called it in, procede, she pays them for it and on my way out, I congratulated them on insisting that we have a straw sale.

I got asked a question I'm not sure how to answer.
Question was can the children, and grandchildren buy the father/grandfather a firearm by all chipping in, and one person is given the money, and buys it, fills out 4473. Then presents firearm to father/grandfather at special occasion as a gift from family members?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Gifting is not a straw purchase.

Did you ever get a HK 93?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Lol, yes, but not from Shoe's Gun Rack as it was ill-eagle to give them money.

My wife is actually ready to buy her first firearm in her name. She has an Sig P238 and a Taurus 85. But I bought those years ago when laws were different. I'm buying off Bud's online from my account. Does it matter that my name is on that account? When we pick it up from the FFL she will fill out the paperwork.

I’m not a lawyer, but as long as you aren’t doing a straw man purchase (buying a gun for a prohibited person), I don’t think you are breaking any laws.
