A federal lawsuit describes an unsettling scenario: A guy stops and peruses the wares of a licensed firearms dealer at an Ohio gun show. He selects and pays for 87 weapons. A second person takes care of the paperwork, listing herself as the purchaser.
Does that setup, as alleged, raise questions about the legitimacy of the transaction? Should the dealer have asked the shopper whether he was using a "straw purchaser" to buy a lot of cheap Hi-Point 9mm semi-automatic pistols?
Not necessarily. It turns out that whether someone is a "straw purchaser" is very much in the eye of the beholder. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
