Doesn't form 4473 list gifting as just fine in the explanatory section for question 11a?

DUH! YOU GUYS ARE TARDY! There's only one question we need an answer to! DOES SHE HAVE A SISTER?!?!
friend of mine is getting married in a couple months and his fiance wants me to take her to a gun shop and help her pick out a gun to get him as a wedding present.
If you have an issue that it's registered to you, take him to a shooting range with the new firearm and have the FFL transfer it.
The bold part of the definition means a straw purchase can take place even if both parties would be capable of passing the background check. This was confirmed by the ATF examiner who conducted our audit earlier this year. That said, the same examiner did indicate that one could purchase a firearm with the intent to give it as a legitimate gift and be OK.
I agree completely.Its not illegal, but the gun store will most likely refuse to sell to her if she is saying things like "oh I think he will like this one" or "no he wouldn't want that because its a Hi-Point". As far as they are concerned they need to be selling it to her and her alone.
She can buy it for herself and then decide to gift it to her fiancé later, nothing illegal here.
If he can legally own a gun I dont see anything illegal.
