Read the explaniation on the ATF FORM for question 11.a on the back. I would find it hard to believe he commited any crime by answering YES. He did not intend (and did not) transfer the firearm to a person who was not eligable to purchase it him/herself.
I have done this on several occasions, most reciently on the purchase of the Taurus .38 special. I fully intended to give it to my daughter who is NOT PROHIBITED from firearm purchases, and has done so. In my case and his the instructions DIRECT to answer YES ON 11.a.
The author of this article, or anyone else may not agree with him on his actions.....BUT LETS NOT GRASP AT STRAWS. He has the RIGHT like the rest of us to do with it as he pleases...LAWFULLY. He can bust it up with a BFH if thats his desire.
