That is incorrect. A straw purchase is any time a person buys a gun on behalf of someone else, it's irrelevant whether or not the parties involved can possess firearms or not.azrocks said:I'm not a lawyer, but in my understanding, it isn't a straw purchase if you're not prohibited from possessing a firearm.
If you give your friend money to go buy you a firearm, that's a felony straw purchase. See the Supreme Court case "US v. Abramski".
