[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4039999, member: 45773"] I don't believe it does. I've never seen that on the 4473 thru the various versions from 1997 to Dec 2022. You can buy a gun for your spouse (assuming he/she isn't prohibited) only as a legitimate gift. That's true for buying it for anyone else as well. The instructions on the 4473 make no mention of spouses as an exception to the straw purchase rule. These are the instructions for question 21.a.: Technically, if your wife wants a particular gun but can't make it by the store to buy it and you say you'll pick it up for her, that is definitely a straw purchase, though not the type everyone thinks of. In the eyes of the ATF, it doesn't matter. If, however, you go in, pick out the gun, fill out the form and go home with it and give it to your wife, who's gonna know? In reality, that's a scenario that's unlikely to ever be a problem. But...you did lie on a federal form so there's that. There's a lot of misinformation in this thread. It's really a good idea to take the time to read the form instructions and even some of the FAQs on the ATF website. [/QUOTE]
