The purchase must be intended as a legitimate gift, and not for purpose of evading intent of straw purchase prohibition. Fine line, but that is my understanding.

Simple answer; the only thing you can accept in return for the gift is the gratitude of the person receiving it.

“How do you gift a gun........”

Reminded me of an incident that happened to a friend of my father’s years ago. He gave his son in law a Browning over/under for a wedding present. The groom wasn’t very gun savvy and took it as a “shotgun wedding” joke. Luckily someone quickly informed him that a Browning Citori was by no means a gag gift.

Declare it a gift at the time of purchase.

I’d be shocked if there wasn’t at least one player on the Eagles offensive line that wasn’t legally able to posses a gun.
