Chandler Straw Purchase of a Firearm Lawyer

Straw Purchase of a Firearm is a federal crime. A straw purchase is when the buyer is receiving the goods or services on behalf of a third party. Straw purchases of firearms are illegal, as many prohibited possessors will use this as a means to avoid a background check.

If you legally purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer, you will be required to fill out Federal Form 4473 at the time of purchase. This form will be kept on file with the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives). Question 11 on form 4473 specifically asks if the buyer is the actual “transferee/buyer” of the weapon.

There is also a warning:

“Are you the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm(s) listed on this form? Warning: You are not the actual transferee/buyer if you are acquiring the firearm(s) on behalf of another person. If you are not the actual transferee/buyer, the licensee cannot transfer the firearm(s) to you. Exception: If you are picking up a repaired firearm(s) for another person, you are not required to answer 11.a. and may proceed to question 11.b. (See Instructions for Question 11.a.)”

It is a federal crime under 18 U.S. Code § 922 to lie or mislead the seller about the identity of the ultimate possessor of the firearm. Since this is a federal crime, you will need to consult with a criminal defense attorney who is licensed to practice in federal court.

Most criminal defense lawyers either are not licensed to go to federal court or have no experience representing people charged with federal crimes in federal court. At the Attorneys for Freedom Law Firm, our attorneys have represented many clients in federal court, including major federal felony trials.

Absolute incredible people here. Probably the best investment I've made in my life. These people are true patriots and sincerely care about your rights. I wanted to give a shout out to Liberty and Emma for being so supportive and helpful when needed. Living in California it is extremely difficult to maintain 2A rights here without complications and never-ending laws changing, but they really went above and beyond for me when it mattered most and I am super grateful to them. Emma reassured me and kept me up to date throughout my situation and I was confident that I was in good hands. I will definitely remain a proud member for life and would recommend anyone that is a 2A advocate to sign up for AOR. God bless.
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re especially grateful for your recognition of Liberty and Emma. Living in a state with complex and changing laws can be challenging, and we’re proud to support our members through those situations. Your loyalty and recommendation truly mean a lot to us.
