[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2363502, member: 42"] Sorry Dave, but you are incorrect. A Straw Purchase is not strictly defined by one of the parties being a prohibited person, it is defined by who the [I]actual[/I] purchaser is. You can purchase a firearm for someone as a [I]gift[/I] but you can not purchase it for them [I]on their behalf[/I] (they give you money to buy the gun for them) regardless of whether or not they may be a prohibited person...that IS a straw purchase according to the BATFE. In many cases the actual buyer is a prohibited person, but not exclusively so. So if dad tells son to buy a gun [I]for him[/I] and bring it to him then it could very easily be considered a straw purchase by the BATFE (and in this case, throw in transferring across state lines), but I would imagine they would have to prove some money changed hands.
