Well my questions is this: I am 20 years old and will be 21 in august I have enough money to buy the gun of my dreams which is the FN Herstal FNP-45 USG MODEL Black/Silver Slide...I want my friend who is 21 to purchase the gun in his name right now so we can go to the range and use it alot this spring and summer and im wondering if this is possible/legal and then how easy would it be to transfer ownership when I turn 21?? Please Chime in with the advice now...

that would work, or if you have some other friends who own hand guns tell them you will buy the ammo if they let you shoot their pistols??

oh man i would be shooting that usp .45 all day then, thats a great pistol. if i could afford one of those it would be my #1 choice for a hand gun like that.

Like the .22 idea as well. Great fun to shoot, cheap, keep your eye sharp for little cost. Also quiet, so are able to shoot it in a lot of places where the louder report would bother people.
Just like the late great Jeff Cooper used to say: "Every self respecting household should have a .22" Edited by Dogger - March/31/2009 at 11:32 |

That borders on strawman. It could put your friend in a bind. Count the time by saving up more money. Your gonna need a holster ect. You might also want to take a class.

This doesn't border a "strawman", it IS a "straw" purchase! Your buddy would be prosecuted! What would happen I'm not sure, but it wouldn't be good and would cost him some $$$$. Believe me, you can wait! It's only 4 months. Careful with the ammo purchase, I think you have to be 21 for that also.

When you turn 21, buy a USP. It'll shoot circles around a FN. If you do decide on a FN, get the 5.7....20+1 is hard to beat and fun to shoot (ammo is same price as .45 acp)

Prosecuted? i still dont under stand the legal side of this. it would be like me giving a decent sized gift of money to a friend and he chooses to buy a firearm with it, a few months after that he decides to 'sell it to me'...if you fellas could please explain!? but yea btw ive already had my eye on the GSG-5 .22 carbine? does anyone have experience with these? i like the HK look to it

You don't need to understand it. Like most gun-control laws, it was never intended to make sense.
Your handgun purchase plan could very well get you and your friend into more trouble than you can imagine if a zealous prosecutor gets wind of it.
Don't do it.

If you don't understand the law go to a lawyer. It will be cheaper in the long run. Plus you do not want to jeopardies a lifetime of owning firearms just because you are in a hurry. That attitude is enough to show you may not be mature enough to own a pistol yet. TAKE A CLASS.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

Yeah.....too much bullsh*t. Some states now even require paperwork for a neighbor to neighbor sale..............these are designed to screw up the innocent population. Next thing we know Sarah Brady will be saying you are supplying guns to foreign powers--- like Mexico and Washington, DC!!
