Is any purchase of a gun that is for someone else and not a gift a straw purchase?
I've heard it said so and I've heard it said that only purchases for someone not legally able tobuy a gun is a straw purchase. So, if I buy a gun for my neighbor Joe who is a known alcoholic with a criminal record , that is clearly a crime. But what if I buy a gun for my other neighbor Jack who is an upstanding member of the community, philantropist, CCW permit holder and kind to kittens? If I know for a fact that he has a valid CCW, that tells me he can legally own a gun. Would buying one for him be a crime?
