    I am sure if you asked the sales man to hold it for your husband and that he will be down later it would not be a problem. Unfortunately what you did by talking to your husband right there on the phone is indeed state you would be buying for another person. Thus technically a straw purchase. One year my wife bought me a rifle for my birthday. She got me a gift card for it and had the sales person hold the rifle for me. I went down on the next day and filled out everything and had money left on the gift card for ammo. Just saying they can and will work with you.

    Not correct. Nobody said they were buying for another person. OP said wife was buying both for herself, he was just encouraging her to do so while on the phone since it was a good buy.

    Not a straw purchase, however I can see how it would sound as if it were to the seller.
