Yo, /k/. I don't post here like at all, first time checking out the board in a few years. Just looking for some feedback.
So my dad's a convicted felon for being a raging verbally abusive drunk when I was younger. He owned guns, his friend shot himself one night, he got drunk that night when he heard the news. Something set him off and he went on a tirade against my mom and me being the dumb 14 year old at the time stepped in and it got into a pretty bad mess. Eventually he started saying shit about shooting all of us. This scared the shit out of us, we called the cops, he got arrested and his guns taken away. He can not legally own a firearm as of now.
My mom has recently told me she is interested in buying a rifle and my dad wants to buy one too but seeing as he can't he came to me to ask to buy it and put it under my name but to give it to him afterwards.. I've been looking around for information on this sort of thing since it's a pretty grey area,

I'm most likely going to say no because it's a risky and dumb thing to do, I don't own a safe, it would be kept in his, and he's still a drinker that can get nasty despite simmering down in his older age. My main concern is just what would happen say the law caught a whiff of this situation, would he be the one getting charged for possession of a gun that is not his or would it also boomerang back to me and hit me with charges? For reference I live in California which already makes obtaining guns a fucking annoyance.
You guys seem pretty alright from what I've witnessed on other boards.

Honestly, not to shunt you off, but go ask the gurus at Calguns.net. They are a treasure trove of information on our state's fup duck laws -- and gutless useless pussies on everything else, but that's a different thread.

It's not. Buying a gun for a felon is also a felony. If he wants to take the risk and buy a gun he should just do a private sale. If and when his ass gets busted its all on him.

Your father is asking you to commit a straw purchase. Furthermore, he's a prohibited person. This is extremely illegal. Don't touch this with a 10 foot pole.

Well. You and your senpai are commiting a few federal felonies.
1. You buying a gun under false pretenses for a known fellon. (a straw purchase)
2. A convicted fellon in possession ( if he can get access to it. He is breaking the law)
3. Conspiracy to commit a felony. (You have both talked about it. You are now conspiring to violate federal law. )
If he wants to shoot. He should get an air gun or a black powder gun. Neither of which are firearms under federal law

Cool. These are the sort of basic explanations I was looking for. Thanks.

I don't think it's a grey area at all. It's a straw purchase and illegal.

Don't buy your alcoholic convict dad a gun, you'll go to jail.
