Straw purchase?

And the remainder start with " I went to worth a shot"

Good one! I don't know how they are still in business.

OP,
So were you telling your wife to buy two for herself, or were you asking her to get a 2nd one for you?

A Designated Collector is a status granted to an individual by the Maryland State Police. This status allows the individual to purchase more than one firearm at a time. This status does not grant any additional privileges or expedite the processing time required for a regulated firearms purchase.​

You can buy two pistols at one time without the letter, but no more than that. You’d have to then wait 60 days to make another regulated purchase.

P.T. Barnum will be along with the answer any minute now...

I beleive that is supposed to be to take advantage of deals and things like estate sales/auctions.

Which a sale would apply here, but I believe the text of the law is specific as to when you actually can buy two at one time.

But I can’t really blame the clerk at BPS on this one. Selling guns is one of those CYA on not dealing with anything that seems or sounds fishy isn’t a bad policy to have.

Don't buy from this guy.

A certain establishment remains in business :

1. Good location specifically with frontage on main road.
2. Good location strategically, with regard to being in area with out nearby full service competition( to south and east anyway)
3. They seem in theory to be knowledgeable on the surface .

Did you just assume the gender of the Milk Delivery Person?

I thought it would only be a straw purchase if the "other" person was prohibited.

The problem is in the proving. That "other" person needs to be present, at the very least.

NO, remember the case where the guy tried to buy one for his Uncle to get the Leo discount. The Uncle was not prohibited.

Lou had a "no cell phone use" policy while doing business in his store, no-one ever whined about it!

That was not a problem. I never had a signal in his store.

If you buy a bale and it's really for your horse, its a straw straw purchase.

This. The legal definition is purchasing a firearm on behalf of another person. I can buy one with the intention of gifting it (so long as I have a good faith belief that the other person is not prohibited and we don’t circumvent any required checks on the final transfer).

I can’t buy it with the intention that the person is paying me (even if I make no money). That would be on behalf of.

That said, with a handgun, I doubt there’d be anything even a tiny bit wrong with buying a handgun at a discount with every intention of selling it to your buddy at cost with your buddy doing a barracks transfer and 77r. There would be no background checks circumvented or anything else like that.

I don’t think I’d want to test those waters in case MSP, ATF or a prosecutor decided to try to make an example out of me even if I were vindicated in court. But I would think by the letter of the law and absolutely the spirit of it, you’d be in the okay.

No. I think they consider that a hay purchase.

 

[Biggfoot44]

If with intent for the horse to eat it , it would be a Hay purchase.

If for stall bedding , it might be straw . More common ( and my recomendation ) is sawdust .

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.
