I want to buy a rifle for my father for his birthday this summer. He doesnt own any guns at the moment, but he used to shoot in the army back in the 60's. We go to the range now and then. He likes shooting and has been thinking about dabbling in some hunting - small time, small game, not a big deal, just as a hobby.
My question is this: When filling out the form to buy a gun, the 4473 yes or no section has a question asking, basically, 'if you are buying this gun for someone else'....now, I know my father would be able to legally own a gun, but I'm pretty sure you cannot check the box stating that you are, in fact buying it for someone else. So, should I just 'buy it for myself' and "sell" it to my father (for $0) or.....?
I'd like to do the whole wrapped gift thing with cake and ice cream, if possible...anyone in the know, I seek your wisdom!
