It is a straw purchase because you already tried to buy the firearm, did not have proper documentation of 90 consecutive days of residency and are now having someone buy the firearm for you. I take bank statements or utility bills but they have to be most recent and 90 consecutive days, otherwise its a no go. Don't assume they will do anything to sell 1 rifle, if they are a larger store they would sacrifice 1 sale to keep their FFL as it most likely keeps the rest of the store afloat. Its just the law, agree or not, and you have to play the game. Open a bank account, get a utility bill in your name, do whatever you have to do but do it as required by ATF form 4473. Sometimes the NICS associates are new and you may need to go to a manager, but as long as you have:
Drivers License or state issued non driver ID
Green card
Recent 90 days consecutive proof of residency
And are not a mentally defective felon then you should be good to go.
The ID and utility bills/bank statements should all have your current physical address also!!
