Legal Q... 3rd party paying for a gun...
« on: December 12, 2008, 10:26:40 PM »
A freind of a relative has a gun I would like to buy, but he will only take cash. Its also just happend to be about 1500 miles from me.

Is it legal for my relative to pay for the gun + shipping to my FFL ( my relative never takes possession, just pays the guy and the ffl to ship it)then have me remburse him for what he put out?

If not would it be legal for me to wire him the money before had to do that?






its one of those gray areas I'm not completly sure if its legal.


For those wondering its a AH Fox Sterlingworth 16 ga


simlar to this.

It is only an illegal straw purchase if YOU were not legally allowed to buy a gun. They could even take possession of it if they really wanted to. It doesnt matter.

BTW.... you could always use PayPal

The guy will only take 100s.  Even tried the postal money order... no dice.  Its a good deal, but not good enough to hop on a plane to buy.

Seems like it would be no different than if you bought it with a check or Credit card, in that case the BANK is providing the CASH based on your credit (same as your relative putting up the cash and your sending him/her a check to reimburse) you reimburse the bank with your payment, it's going through an FFL, YOU (the ACTUAL buyer) are doing the paper work, only possible glitch I see is if it's not a Ca. approved firearm.Otherwise it's perfectly legal.

its over 2 weeks....


remember in ca we have the 10 24 hour incraments ( not 10 days, but 240 hours)  every one round that up to 11, just to be safe, giving a gun out 1 second earily will get your FFL yanked.

Not that I don't appreciate your 'other' postings, when you get it, let us see a nice side-by-side double-barrel without nipples.   ;)
