They love to say ‘I didn’t know.’ But when you fill out a 4473, question 21.a literally asks: Are you the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm listed on this form? If the answer isn’t yes — that’s a problem. A straw purchase (buying a gun for someone else) is a federal felony, even if your intentions were good. I always talk about this in my classes because so many women end up in legal trouble trying to help someone else get a gun. Sis… protect your peace and your record. The law doesn’t play
