Why would you buy a freezer for straw?
Does it keep better when it's cold?
I can't understand why "Sleepy" is posting at 4:10am??????

Hope this adds something useful to this thread. I worked at Dick's in west York as a Lodge associate during the 2016/2017 holiday season. I general if a person was buying a firearm for a gift and stated that to you, it was ok to proceed with 4473 and complete sale. Example a wife hands me a paper that her husband wrote down the gun he would like, such as a Mossberg 500, no prob, complete the sale. Contrast this with two men at counter, one is shown and, shoulders 2 or 3 rifles. Then he tells the person who is with him to buy him the one he liked, *insert claxton sound here* that would be a solid no go for possible straw purchase. We had great latitude to deny a purchase if it didn't smell right. I don't sell any of my guns as private sales, but this is one case discernment would be a good thing.

When I bought my Beretta A300 from Dicks last year I git the third degree. I was halfway through the transaction when the paperwork checker outer came over to peruse the computer screen. Then he asks me have you bought guns from here before and I say yes. Then he asks did you buy a gun on this date? and spouts out a date. I say I don't remember, maybe. That wasn't good enough he then tells me if I can't tell him what I bought on that date he can't let this sale go through. So hen I tell him who knows maybe that was something my son bought (same name I'm a JR and he's a III) so I finally figure out it was my son's 7mm-08 he bought from there, now we're good. I still have no idea what all that ******** was about. If I hadn't been getting a very good price I'd have told him to shove it and left right away.

Many of us have learned to not deal with people under 50 posts, or at least be able to get a feel for them by their (<50) posts.
I too would have been VERY suspicious of someone who joined two days ago.
I do not want to stir the pot here.
Would a purchase by a parent as a gift later, maybe on a birthday or Christmas, become a straw purchase? Would class of item make difference?
Thank you for giving at least a little respect to us <50's. I read quite a bit, but if I don't feel that I can add something to the conversation I try not to just post for the sake of it...and that doesn't mean that I'm unworthy, so thank you for pointing out that you can get a feel from the posts even if there are less than 50 of them.
I too have wondered this, but then I have openly mentioned to a gun store owner that I was buying a handgun that my son had an interest in because I wasn't sure it would be available by the time he got off his butt and got his HQL. Of course I also followed that up with...and it is mine and will stay in my safe with my combination and if he wants to tag along to the range I'll bring it.
I've also commented that he'll inherit them all someday anyway.
