Quoted: I understood it fine. That's why I said, "Times have changed." Your POA example, by definition, is a straw purchase.

You have a reputation on this board of getting bent out of shape when people answer. You asked our opinion; if you don't like what you read here then I suggest you consult an attorney who specializes in firearms transactions. CPRA will point you in the right direction of finding one.

only when people make stupid answers, when people answer with the laws for State A when the question is about State B. Neither the laws or times have changed since I made the purchase. But then I guess you didn't know that either.
I bet you just loved pulling that quote out yer butt. How long have you been waiting to do that or did you go looking for it? I'm impressed.
Follow this slowly. If I bought it and then sold or gave it to him without going through a DROS THAT would be a straw purchase. Buying for somebody else is a straw purchase. Notice the question is if HE (not ME) purchases it for himself, and I use the POA to pick it up for him. Also referring to the initial question, may I point again that he is on active duty overseas, he will be returning overseas before the 30 days is up. Which means since I apparently left it out, he won't be here to pick it up. Ergo, the need for somebody else to pick it up. Hence the use of a power of attorney which is a legal document authorizing me to perform either a specific action (specific POA) or all manner of actions (general POA). In other words since I have this legal authorization to perform various act for him is it suitable to pick up the pistol. I know I left all this petty detail out because I thought it went without saying I guess not.
