Clear as a bell to me....now.
Thanks
Thanks SW. I admit I was on the side that saw this as illegal until you brought up the legality issue concerning who would receive the gun after the purchase. I saw it as a straw purchase too. However your explanation turned me around. As long as the one who receives the guns can legally have a gun in his or her possession, and/or can actually purchase one legally, then it is ok to buy a firearm as a gift and give it to that person.
Thanks
