Hi,
I realize in form 4473, it asks if you are the "actual buyer" of the firearm.
And I also know that you are not considered the "actual buyer" if someone else gives you the money to purchase a gun for them (due to their age, felonies, etc.)
But, it is legal to purchase a firearm as the "actual buyer" if you are purchasing the firearm for someone else as a gift.
Here is where I am unclear.
If a person (who can legally purchase a gun) buys a handgun from a FFL dealer with HIS OWN money, but has intent after the purchase to sell it as a private party sale to someone 18-20 years old...Is this considered a "straw purchase"?
Or does this fall under the same exception of giving it as a gift?
By the way I am talking about in Florida, where private party sales do not have to go through an FFL, and private party sales are legal to a person 18-20 years old.
Thanks.
