A straw sale occurs when the person acquiring the firearm from a licensed dealer is not the actual buyer/transferee as listed on the Form 4473. The crime occurs when someone other than the actual buyer completes and signs the 4473.
An increasing number of online sellers are including warnings to the receiving dealer to "Transfer only to person named on the invoice!!!".
This is due to the ENGLUND V. J&G SALES & WORLD PAWN EXCHANGE lawsuit in 2016. In short, the actual buyer ordered the firearm online from J&G, the person supplying the credit card (mom) was listed on the invoice. She went to World Pawn to receive the transfer. She then gave the gun to her son who later committed a murder. Of note is that ATF regs and federal law allow for a bonafide gift. Neither World Pawn or J&G violated any ATF regulation.
You can
avoid trouble by asking your receiving dealer how HE WANTS to proceed. If you don't, and he opens the box, sees an invoice for "Steve Jr"......he will rightfully be upset when "Steve" shows up to fill out the 4473/NICS.
