I believe it was established at the trial a 17-year-old could carry this weapon in Wisconsin. However, they cannot purchase so an adult MUST provide the weapon. Therefore Dominick Black would not have illegally provided to a minor.
However, the Federal Straw purchase issue is different.
If Dominick told authorities he purchased the gun for Kyle he may be in legal trouble. If he stated he purchased it for himself with the intent to eventually “gift” it to Kyle for his 18th birthday the water gets murky.....
Agreed. I have not been able to find the actual state charging documents (probably on PACER, but one does need to work some time), so it’s hard to say how strong the state’s case is.
