I think it is irrelevant as to whether it was for your son or not. Think of it from the salesman's point of view. From what you've said, you were looking at the firearm. When you said you would take it and then brought your wife in to do the paperwork, you don't think that sounds the least bit suspicious? Being as I was not there and am going off your side of the story, I will refrain from any judgment on who is "right" or "wrong" but it sounds like to me, the easiest way to resolve the issue was to either just fill the paperwork out yourself being as you were the one who stated you would like to purchase the firearm and as you've stated are legal to purchase the firearm or humor the salesman and have your wife pick the firearm up for a few seconds and say she likes it and at that point would have been more comfortable with selling her the firearm you stated you would like to purchase. It's the world we live in, everyone has to cover their own butt. Good luck to you and hope your son enjoys the new firearm, even if you have to find it somewhere else.
When I really think of it, yeah I guess it looks wrong, but what we were doing wasn't illegal so I didn't think much of it.
