Why would you have any liability at all for what an adult does with a gift you gave them?
Sticky wicky....now if you purchase one for yourself and later gift it to him....nudge nudge
Because lawyers!! At least that is my concern. Same reason the Jeep we bought for him is not in our name in any way.

Would you be my Grandpa? I like jeeps and guns. But seriously your idea with the 1911's sounds good, he get's a great gun and you can get yourself an even better one.
Don't forget the gun school along with his new pistol, grandpa.
I am taking Nephew #1 to gun school for his 18th this summer. I am more excited than he is.
The reality is I'll be buying him a gun with his money,
This is where you get into trouble as a strawman buyer. If it is HIS money, then YOU are not really the buyer of the gun and you lied on the forms. You can buy and gift him a gun, but it must be a pure gift for it to pass the ATF rules.

The SC has ruled it still applies to relatives and Glocks, even if they're a proper person.Is it still a straw purchase if he's buying the gun for someone who's a proper person and who could pass a background check?
Unfortunately, he'll probably want a Glock 22 or 23. He's shot mine a lot and likes the Glock and the .40 cal.

The way I understand it, it is. Someone I know is a proper person, but they frequently get put on hold when submitting the form, and have to wait to pick up the gun. We were at a shop a couple of hours from home, and it happened. I asked if i could buy it instead, and was told no, that it would be a straw purchase. Kinda sucked, and the gun ended up being purchased somewhere closer to home, rather than drive back in a few days. Not saying that the rule is bad, it's just unfortunate the way it works out sometimes.Is it still a straw purchase if he's buying the gun for someone who's a proper person and who could pass a background check?
