I just moved two days ago to another State to start a new job and I am in temporary housing waiting to find new house, sell old house etc for the family to move. I really want to buy a rifle (time sensitive) but can't have it sent to the new state because administratively I am not yet a resident. Conversely, I remain a resident of my old state for the moment.
Can I buy the rifle, have it shipped to my old state and have my wife do the NICS/4473 with my FFL. It can be her rifle for all I care. But will this fly federally or would it put my FFL in a bind?
Recap: I pay. It ships to my NY FFL. My wife who is resident there picks it up and completes 4473. It stays with her in NY until we move. Does this work or would it be deemed a straw purchase?
