Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
That's pretty much what I was thinking, I told him I would double check though. I already warned him that getting someone here to buy it for him would be cause for trouble (IIRC, it's even a question on the form). But he's thinking of buying something from an in-law that's here which is why I ask about the private party transactions.
he can purchase any long gun (legal to own in home state) he wants from a FFL. handguns however he cannot purchase w/out an in state ID. there is nothing illegal with you buying him a gift PROVIDING he is able to own a firearm and it's legal in his state of residence. However going into a store with him looking/handling a gun then you buying it (if i was at the counter) would constitute a straw purchase and you would be in violation of the law.
another option would be to buy off paper. there is nothing illegal with receiving a gift.
Jim is 100% correct.
If he can legally own the firearm in his home state, he can buy a rifle or shotgun here.
MD doesn't like anything over 20rds in a rifle mag, but he can still buy an AR here. No problems.
