This one has baffled me some.
Let's say it's my dad's birthday. I know he wants a particular firearm.
I decide to get it for him as a gift.
I am the buyer as per the 4473, but the purchase is actually for someone else.
Am I lying on this form?
Must I hold onto this firearm for a particular amount of time before I give it away?
Who's to say what, if any pretenses were involved?
Common sense might say it would be better to take him to the shop, and provide the money for his purchase.
It would take the fun out of the whole thing though.
Fortunately, this isn't a real case, just something I have thought about many times.
