Well if you seriosly read the 4473 you will find that forqueston number 1, where the question is asked are you the purchasher o this firearm, you would answer yes i you are buying it for youself, and they go on to say the firearm can be purchased for another personas long as it is a gift, for anyone, not just a member of you family. As far as gettingit pu into her name,why is that a question,no knowing wat state you reside in, the BAFTE form 4473 does nothing but record the first buyer from a retail establish. If you have ever sold or traded a firearm you would have the same problem. If you state rquires you register a handgun you can always register it to her if you wish. The long and short of it is buy the pistol and give it toher an let the government figure it out if they havea need to do so.
