So this week I will be buying a gun to gift to my father. He's mentioned for a few years a particular style gun he has wanted. He's not as into guns as I am but I know this particular kind he is quite interested in.
Anyways. I've never purchased a firearm for anyone other than myself.
I know it is legal for him to own one (he isn't prohibited). What is the legal process for me to buy the gun at the FFL and then gift to him?
I already know there's no registry. So do I just buy it as if it's for me and then just gift it? Or do I specify it's a gift. It's just not something I'm familiar with yet so I want to clear the air and not be accused of a straw purchase.
Thank you in advance.
