Help with VA purchasing laws

[basicblur]

Ok, since we are all throwing logic out the window...

It's not about logic-it's about what's legal, or what your local PD, BATFE, DA, etc believes is legal as they read/interpret the law.
You can always take your chances in court-who knows, you might win!

In our scenario here we fail to accomplish the second half of that transaction. Person A gives person B the money to buy a gun with - BUT PERSON B is KEEPING the gun for themselves! Thus - no straw purchase. There was never intent for person A to obtain that gun.

You try that in our neck o' the woods after Bloomberg's boyz fiasco and you ain't getting a gun. As stated earlier-you find yourself short 1 penny and borrow it from your bud, the gun's going back in the case.

Dealers around here ain't about to try to divine your intent-they're all in CYA mode.

AFA gifts, while I generally gloss over that section, I believe there is a section on the form that covers giving guns as gifts.

Just ask the manager if you can do what you want to do, if they say no, buy your own rifle. It's really that simple.

have your friend buy a gift certificate at the store...

and give it to you. Buy your gun with the gift cert.
Enjoy!
