I was pleasantly surprised to read about a couple of recent
convictions in Florida. I believe one was for lying on the purchase
questionaire.

Another was for possession by a felon.

Not that this is the case with your cites, but I wonder sometimes about
purchases of firearms as gifts for other people. I assume if the
ultimate recipient is named on the paperwork, that person is checked out
on the instant check, at least, though I would think the actual
purchaser is also checked out.


Gifts could have a couple scenarios. I am going to gift a 22 rifle that
was my dad’s to my son in law. He already legally owns a pistol or two.
One he bought and one was his dad’s service revolver. His late dad was an
Los Angeles cop.


Gun laws seem incredibly inconsistent. If you buy a new rifle from a
dealer in Maryland, there's only the federal instant check. When I sold
a used rifle to a friend of a friend here in Maryland, I called the
state police to see if there were paperwork or background requirements,
and there were no federal requirements, either.
