I just got back on here today and one response kinda p-----d me off. It is the one about us breaking the law. The law quoted says that the exeception IS a parent child relationship. If you can't understand legal jargon then don't try to interprit the law.
Ok... I assume you are responding to my post so...
You can be p----ed off all you want. The law quoted says the exception is a parent-MINOR child relationship, NOT a parent-age of majority child relationship. If you can't read what's printed on the page in front of you then don't get an attitude with people who can.
I stated that IF she only bought the gun as a gift for someone who could otherwise legally buy the gun then she was OK. Since your son can't buy a gun from a dealer then I'd say that he couldn't otherwise buy the gun legally (assuming she bought the gun from a dealer - if not then she wouldn't have had to buy the gun in the first place, he could have), hence my opinion that it could be considered a straw purchase. If any money changed hands between mom & son immediately before or after the mom buying the gun for the sole intent of buying that same gun then the intent was to perform a straw purchase, which is a felony.
If you don't like what I have to say then ignore it. I'm not the one who will pay the price if you're wrong.
