It’s time to stock up on ammunition

So we are saying I cannot buy a gun as a gift for my son, but I can give him one of the ones I already own? That's nonsense. I gave my stepdaughter a LC9 for Christmas. That was a "straw purchase"?

 

In many of the gun forums there are a bunch of holier-than-though wannabe lawyers who try to nitpick everything into some kind of crime. I also got an infraction for saying that I didn't need no stinkin permit to carry my pistol...again saying I was talking about illegal activity. I live in an open carry state.

 

Maybe, maybe not. When my son was staying with me here, but still a resident of another state, I gave him the Security Six that my Dad carried after he got his gold shield for his his birthday. A year later, when he was back in that other state and took his own life with the gun, the investigating detective and I had this same question when we were discussing ultimate disposition of the firearm (I didn't want them calling my ex-wife and asking her if she wanted to claim the gun after it was released from evidence). A few months later, he called me to see if I wanted to claim the firearm, since they no longer had to keep it as evidence and told me that BATFE told him there was no issue concerning giving it to my son in the first place. Of course, it could have just been a case of professional courtesy, so don't take my experience as legal advice.

 

Sorry to hear about your son, sir.

 

Excellent clarification, thank you.
