Greetings, all!
I keep my eyes on this site's classifieds for potential guns that my brother, who lives out of state, might like. If there was ever a handgun that I wanted to give him as a gift, is there a legal way for me to pay the seller directly and have them ship it to his local FFL, out of state, for him to do the paperwork, keeping me out of it other than the payment? I'm trying to make sure that I would be staying on the right side of the law in terms of who is "the actual buyer" of the firearm, but also trying to avoid the expense and paperwork of first transferring it to my name here in Oregon only to turn right around and ship it out of state myself. Or is it more kosher for me to ruin the surprise element of a gift and have my brother just pay the seller himself, then just give him a birthday check for that amount? Any other info or input I should know about a scenario like this?
Thanks,
Josh
