        So, you're saying OP bought the weapon with the intention of giving it to a person not qualified to buy it himself?

        See above.

        Your story has zero to do with a straw purchase.

        Sounds like someone at the shop wanted a little trigger time. Bummer.

        To me, "making it right" should include a NEW gun of the same make / model at no cost to you, including dros charges.

        I've been in that store once, total jerk-off's.

        True wealth is time. Time to enjoy life.

        Life's journey is not to arrive safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy schit...what a ride"!!

                it was her firearm. she doesn't know what to look for. neither her or I were expecting a used pistol. if that we're the case we would have said so when we came in. we called ahead drove all the way out there. been trying to find this pistol for awhile now. I'm looking for ADVICE not false accusations accusing me of criminal behavior.

                  If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?

                          It's all in the details of your story. I believe somebody else reading could conclude that a straw purchase was made on your behalf.

                            not the case. it's so ridiculous it's hard to explain.

And you won't get other-than-red-oxide corrosion on Scandium in 15 days, let alone 15 decades, unless you leave it sitting in an acid, alcohol, or ammonia puddle.

                              You are seeing something else. Just word of warning, so when you tell them it has rust-pitting, they don't laugh at you.

                                And waste your time further? You were told to wait until Wednesday when something could actually be done. I would follow it. Other than that, yes, lots of bad anecdotes about that dealer.

                                Sorry for your loss.
