So Ive got a dilemma, but im sure that you guys can help me out. Here is goes. Well my brother decides that he would like to buy me a hand gun this last Christmas. Both he and i do some research and narrow down the guns to a select few. It turns out that my sisters husband owns one of these guns and is looking to sell it. So my brother decides that he wants to purchase it and then gift it to me as a late present. I am a Cal resident. My bro is a Nevada resident with a Cal license (he doesn't want to change it), and my sisters husband is an Idaho resident. Can we do this?
I just want to make sure that i go about this the right way. I know that California laws are a pain in the ass, but I dont want to do anything illegal. Im worried that this might fall under the illegal "straw purchase". At the least i think im going to have to register the gun here in California within 30 days as mandated by the law.
Let me know what you guys know. Also feel free to post up links if they can help.
