11a on your 4473 deals with this. If you are buying the firearm and giving it to your acquaintance without accepting money (a gift) you can tick yes and buy it then give it to her. If you are buying it and she is paying you for it you are straw purchasing which is illegal.

My wife bought me the Colt 1911 I have on my belt at the moment as a wedding present. I filled out the paperwork to cover our asses. It's not like it's a hassle to do so.
Question about this. I want to buy a gun for a female acquaintance, I even told the guy at the gun shop my intentions and asked if she needed to provide anything for the purchase even though I'm the one buying. He said no, that once I pay for the gun and leave the store he doesn't care what I do with it. Does this sound right? I purchased a Glock on this same day for myself with no issue. All he did was make a quick phone call and asked for my ID.
I wouldn't plan on the sales people at the shop giving you correct information. I've heard some terribly inaccurate things uttered across the sales counter before. Here's the form you will be filling out....the last page has a paragraph that goes into detail:Thank you! No, I am not playing middle man here, I am buying it. She's clean and if needed I will take her with me the day I go pick it up so the proper paperwork can be filled out. I just figured the guy at the shop would know the procedure and inform me of the proper way to go about this.
Did you not see where I asked the guy that works at the gun shop if she needed to fill out anything? I don't know the legality of things like this which is why it was brought up. I want to purchase this for her as a gift.
This is from a legit gun shop that even has a range attached to it.
If you truly want the gun to "feel" like a gift when you give it to her, here's what I would do (and it will cost you a few extra $ for this effect): Buy said gun. It will obviously be registered in your name at that point. When you decide to present her with the "gift" tell her that in order for her to take possession of it you guys will have to make a quick stop at the gun shop to sign the transfer paperwork. It will cost a few extra bucks for you to transfer it over because she will have to have a background check done, but it will feel more like a gift I suppose.Did you not see where I asked the guy that works at the gun shop if she needed to fill out anything?

Being completely blunt, your scenario sounds a bit off which is why it sounded (and still does to be honest) like a straw. You say your broad is clean and all but why not just have her fill out and sign the application? You are not surprising her with a puppy or a hamster. I understand it is a "gift."
Many people think a S.P. is only when you buy a firearm for someone who can not legally pass the back ground check but it also deals with a person who ddoes not want their name on the app. thus being associated with the purchase.

Straw Purchases are highly illegal and to me it sounds like that's what you are describing. Why not just have her go in and fill out the paperwork and you pay for it.
Of course this could be moot depending where you are buying this firearm.

Let's see, people killed in Oregon, and the whole thread turns into gun rights. Got it.
lets see...people killed in Oregon, and our dear leader Obama turns the whole thing into a gun debate before the bodies are cold.
Wrong section, try again.
Start a new thread in the political section if you care so much.
Pretty much. What started with people fighting for their lives has evolved into people fighting for their rights. It sucks but it's the truth. It's not about turning this thread political, it's about following what the story has evolved into.lets see...people killed in Oregon, and our dear leader Obama turns the whole thing into a gun debate before the bodies are cold.
You can only talk about It for so long. Eventually it will lead to the other facets of the topic. Are we really supposed to talk about the incident this whole time?
Not sure why I'm explaining myself to you, BUT. I am in no way a gun enthusiast, I own a couple for home protection, period. I asked the question because I DO NOT know the law regarding me buying a gun for someone else. Am I wrong for trying to be informed? Would you rather I just go in, buy it, and give it to her? Should I not try to do this legally? If she needs to fill the form out that's what we'll do. Contrary to popular belief every poster on here isn't an expert at everything. Blown 89 has been a big help, you, not so much. You come off as one of those guys that walk around carrying with a camera in hand looking to get stopped by the cops so you can "flex" your knowledge of gun rights. Either way, I still plan to purchase it for her and will do it legally. God forbid I end up in jail for doing something I had no idea was illegal.

I'm merely trying to find out why you wouldn't have the chick sign her Hancock in the first place.
