the man went into the store w/premeditation to misrepresent who the actual purchaser was and was paid to do so prior to entering the store.
hopefully that clears up your misrepresentation of this case of a former LE who turned bank robber.
I see no misrepresentation in that, but is actually very much in line with my representation. Case referenced, nephew planned in advance to purchase a firearm on behalf of his uncle. OP's question whether or not father can purchase firearm on sons behalf. Case referenced, as I represented, would indicate you can not plan ahead to have a family member purchase a firearm for you.
i'm sorry but completion of the 4473 isn't documentation? my statement still stands, let the nice FFL, trained by the BATF, do their job and quit spewing misinformation.
4473 is documentation. That would have to be filled out by the father when purchasing the firearm from an FFL. The son would have to fill out 4473 for the FFL to transfer a firearm to the son. When the son indicates his age on form 4473 as being under 21, the FFL would refuse the transfer.
interestingly to note you failed to quote the whole site's wording that you cited:
I see no reason to post the entire site here, as that's why the links here. I sited relevant portions needed. The rest continues to support my position as I'll outline for you:
An individual between 18 and 21 years of age may acquire a handgun from an unlicensed individual who resides in the same State, provided the person acquiring the handgun is not otherwise prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law.
I did not quote this from the site earlier because everyone is already clear on the fact that 18-20 can acquire guns from unlicensed individuals in MO.
continuining was the portion I quoted.
A Federal firearms licensee may not, however, sell or deliver a firearm other than a shotgun or rifle to a person the licensee knows or has reasonable cause to believe is under 21 years of age.
Followed by additional, that you bolded:
There may be State or local laws or regulations that govern this type of transaction. Contact the office of your State Attorney General for information on any such requirements.
kinda think the bolded portion is relative to the converstation don't you...oh btw this kinda of info is what the FFL knows about so my statement is even more important!
To answer your question, yes, I do think additional local or State regulations would definitely be relative to this conversation. If you are aware of any we've missed, please include them. I've done my best to site all that I know of, but do not know every law. That's part of why I love participating in this forum, as together we're stronger than apart. I don't feel I indicated anywhere that additional state or local regs where unimportant, but if I gave that impression, please forgive me.
And I agree with you, an FFL would be a great resource to contact if anyone has any doubt that they were able to find all the pertinent laws and regulations for a particular purchase or case. I did not mean to imply that anyone should not use this valuable resource and consult with them. I only stated that they could not process a transfer or purchase of a handgun to someone under 21 years of age.
