A gun shop across the border in Colorado has half a dozen law enforcement Sig 220 trade ins. A friend bought the pick of the litter. The remaining pistols, in his words, vary in condition from good to poor.
Would it be considered a straw purchase if he goes to the shop, picks the best remaining gun, pays for it and shipping with my cash, provides the FFL of my local dealer?
We haven't determined if the gun shop would allow this. The other option is for him to pick the gun, ask the dealer to hold it, and I give the dealer a credit card number over the phone and email the FFL.
Or I can work directly with the shop and ask them to pick one. My friend said one of the pistols was in bad shape. I don't want to end up with that one, or one with a cracked frame, and I'd rather not make the 150 mile round trip because the gun would have to be shipped to my FFL guy anyway.
Thanks for your opinions.
