| So i went to pick up to stripped LAR lowers for $99 a piece. Well i am in virginia beach on leave to see my parents; i have a FL. drivers license with an AK address on it; i am a resident of Alaska, but i'm in the Air Force stationed in North Dakota...needless to say the gun dealer didn't like that at all and wouldn't sell them to me even with a copy of my orders and my military ID. So here's my question; can i have my father who lives in va. beach buy these lowers for me as gifts. I wasn't about to ask the gun dealer; cuz in my experience gun dealers typically don't even know the damn laws. I have seen on the ATF form, something about purchasing firearm as a gift or something to that effect...i'm really pissed about this issue; i'm in the damn military and i can't even buy a f@#!ing gun; this country has become so ridiculous with these gun laws!!!! any advice would help, thanks, Eric |

I have specifically read the BATF regs looking for this question. I found a specific reference where it says that an individual may buy a firearm as a gift, they listed a birthday present as specific example, and this was permissible, as long as there was no reason they were aware of why the recipient of the gift would not be allowed to otherwise own the firearm. Straw purchasers typically buy firearms for groups or individuals who they know cannot legally own a firearm. A father buying a gift for his son would not be a straw purchase, unless the father knew his son was a convicted felon and could not purchase the firearm himself. edited to add: If it would help, I can look again to see if I can find the reference. |
I've been told that by several different dealers. |
