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.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.
Trust me. It happens.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.
Wait, we're allowed to have our own money?But if its your money and you want to gift it to her, perfectly legal.
I thought that was a fairy tale other husbands told one another.Wait, we're allowed to have our own money?
This thread is so confusing.
Well, dont look so shady...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.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.
Did you ever get a HK 93?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.

Now THATs a shop name I havent heard in a long time.Lol, yes, but not from Shoe's Gun Rack as it was ill-eagle to give them money.
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.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 love Alexander the Great by them.
