Forgive me

-Head down, eyes diverted...

Please forgive me for posting here, I just need help that I can only get from a man's point of view.

My husbands 40th birthday is in September and I am trying to make it very special.
My husband is an avid hunter and loves guns of all types. I am getting him a decommissioned Tommy gun on a plaque to hang in his "Man space" as a novelty gift. I want to get him a special hand gun that he can actually use and enjoy.

My question is, if someone opened up a gun case at your favorite sporting goods/gun shop and said "pick one out", what would your choice be? Name of gun, type, caliber.  Something special. I have plenty of time to locate the type and style so any suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

I thank you in advance for any helpful replies I get, as I will not post here anymore. I would not want to push the boundaries of your kindness.

Thank you so much,
A very loving wife,
Tara

Tara,
      I think that you are asking how to commit a felony! It is a federal felony to buy a gun for the intent of 'delivering' to someone else. The only exception I know of is a parent buying a gun for a minor child. A gun may be inherited or given to a family member, but one can not be bought with the sole intent of giving it to someone else. The reason for this is to prevent a person who has the legal right to buy a gun from providing guns to those that are prohibited. You would be surprised how many wives and girlfriends will buy a gun for their felon men. I know there are some cops on this forum and I hope they will correct me if I am wrong. I do not know what state you live in, but in most states, it is even further restricted when the gun is a handgun. I would double check all this with a local firearms dealer. PM me and I will suggest something else depending on which state you live in.

It's the BTF that would have to lighten up. Some how they seen to lack a sense of humor over this.They take "straw purchases" very seriously. Now a collectible, antique firearm might be a great option that I didn't think of, as would a black powder replica, which can be purchased for a gift in most states.

In FL you would have to sell it to them. Our system is lax. You ask if they have a felony, write their DL # down, sign here shake hands and See ya.
