I bought a Beretta Stampede in 45LC.
The intent is to give it to my father as a gift (Christmas gift)
I was proud of my life accomplishments, a few years ago I could not afford a beauty like this, atleast without saving up for it. Now I can. I know now to watch what I say, this is why.
So while picking out the Beretta, I said to myself "which would he like" and the sales guy told me he could not sell me a gun if the intent was to give it to someone else, he then told me that if he did, he would be guilty of assisting in a straw sale, and I would be facing jail time. WHAT IN THE CRAP?
I don't get it, the firearm is property, I buy the property, I can do with it as I wish, no? (of course all safety boundaries respected).
I bought the Beretta anyway, for myself until I can get this issue cleared up. Question is, FTF sales are legal, but I cannot give a gun away? This is unclear to me, please explain this to me.
Is a way around this to sell it for 1 cent? or trade for a stick of gum?
