This thread got me thinking... Here's an odd twist (and one applicable to me).
My wife wants to buy me a gun (yay!). But i'm the sole breadwinner in the family and we have separate credit cards and bank accounts. So when her credit card comes due I transfer money from my account to hers and she pays the card. Is this then her buying it with my money and thus a straw purchase or would this be an exception since we're married? Would it depend on the state and their laws on property as it relates to marriages (in NV she had to sign to sell the house even though her name wasn't on the title for example). I know I could just say the gun is hers but anyone who knows us would know who's it really was. Am I just overthinking this at 6:45 in the morning with no coffee?
