    If you are giving the firearm as a gift, you are still the actual buyer. You’re in the clear there. This differs from a straw purchase, where you are also the actual buyer (or legal buyer, who then resells the gun to someone who can’t buy it).

    That’s why the ATF has added the additional language in the warning about “acquiring the firearm(s) on behalf of another person.” Regarding straw purchases, form 4473 is clear. You can’t acquire a firearm “on behalf” of another person.

    The only catch I can think of Jose, is that both of them MUST reside in the same state. BTW, the ATF does not give credence to "community property" with respect to firearms. There is no "duel" ownership.
