Scenario:

Buyer and wife life in town X in Wyoming. Buyer is out of town. Seller lives in town Y, also in Wyoming. Buyer, wife, and seller all legal to own, purchase, etc.

Buyer wants to buy gun from Seller. Seller offers to deliver gun to buyer's home to buyers wife, on behalf of buyer.

1) Straw purchase? Or is a straw purchase only through an FFL?
2) Better for buyer to send funds through the mail to Seller, or to have wife pay Seller directly.
3) Or better to have seller to sell to wife, and then wife can sell/gift to Buyer?
