Yes, you can purchase a "gift" for your wife or anyone else. That's OK to do when you are purchasing from a dealer and you fill out the 4473. When you have the 03 license, it specifies that it is to enhance your own personal collection. You can occasionally sell an item to someone "else" (your buddy) and probably get away with it, but I wouldn't do it too often, as ATF frowns on it. If you made a regular practice of it, you would be considered to be "engaged in the business" and the mighty jackboot of ATF would come down upon you hard, indeed.
