Have her give you the money. You got to the store pay for it do all the paperwork. Wait your 10 days pick it up and go shoot it.

Yea.. it's really as simple as her giving you a gift of cash that you use to pay for the gun you want..

If she plans to use a credit card she can do that, the forms ask if you are the transferee of the firearm not who is swiping the card. In this case, you are the transferee and you are keeping the gun, regardless of where you got the money from.

Gift Giver or Gift Receiver
Some Examples of gift giver:
Father buys 10/22 for Son, Father can do 4473/DROS - intrafamily to son
Friend A buys 10/22 for Friend B, Friend A does 4473/DROS, then later PPTs to Friend B

Generally cheaper having Gift Receiver do it rather than pay extra PPT or intrafamily money. Also, if having gift receiver do paperwork generally you should let shop know what's going on. Some people seeing 1 person pay and another do paperwork think straw purchase (depending on relation).

The times I've had "friends" do the pay and other person do paperwork they've asked me up front if it was ok for them to pay for firearm for friend B, etc... It wasn't one of those situations where the paying person asked all the questions and then the paperwork person all of a sudden showed up...
