Reason I ask, is that I am considering buying my Dad a gun for Christmas (and I need to start saving now!).
He lives in Alabama, I live in Louisiana. I recall the yellow form generally asks whether I am buying this gun for myself or someone else.
My intent would be to buy it for someone else. Is this a straw purchase? If so, how would I give a firearm as a gift to a family member, assuming they could legally purchase and own a firearm?
Should I say anything to the seller?
Is there any additional documentation I should complete upon giving Dad the gun?
Thanks everyone,
Rich
