any state that allows private sales between individuals should allow you to gift a gun to someone in the same state with out any gov'ment paper work. As for buying a gun from an FFL and then gifting it, as mentioned that is allowed too... is not a violation of the rules on the form... a gift is not a straw purchase... of course as long as the person you are giving the gun to can legally own it.

At least that is how I understand the law.. I'm buying an M1 from CMP and in my cover letter to them I actually told them I was gifting this gun to my father. So, we'll see.
