Now we just had a long discussion about this in Washington forum, I agree that that should be how it is but the federal form has a box if you are purchasing this for your self or someone else, and the consensus was you will not pass the back ground check if you check for someone else.
I have checked that box twice ... both times I was told that when the other person received the gun (they were gifts) to come back and do the "transfer" at the shop so their records would be straight.
We made it an 'outing' with the people, you know, introduced them to the store owner, completed the paper work, they browsed the cases for a while, handled a few guns, etc.
IIRC, I did have to supply the name of the person who was going to receive the gun on the background form when I filled it out ... and I believe it asked for the relationship to the person who would ultimately receive the gun. Since they were BIL and DD, I knew they were legal to own a gun.
My gun store owner did not charge me these two times nor when I had another gun drop shipped for the paperwork, just the original purchase BGC, and on the dropshipped gun, they were more interested in the gun than the paperwork ... it was open the shipping box, pull the gun out, look it over, pass it around, then do the paperwork :lol:
