Here's the situation:
There's a gun I want to buy out of town (still in TX).
I am legally allowed to buy the gun (I have my CHL).
My friend has his CHL also.
Can my friend pick up the gun for me from the private seller while he's in said town?
Is that illegal in any way?
To complicate things; can same friend buy gun from a dealer (with my money), then give the gun to me later?
My understanding of a straw purchase is buying a gun for someone that can not legally buy the gun themselves.
