The ATF is extremely hot on straw buying, and a company that sells as many as Bud's is under massive scrutiny.
The ATF is very attentive to shops near the border, big cities, Chicago, New York, Seattle, Los Angeles etc.
Ok while yeah they are in those circumstances re read my privious post. A fellow co worker/friend is an ATF IOI (he transfered agencies because his wife is a Dr and an actual ATF guy that inspects Buds as he is in the Lexington area)
He said Buds policy is not an ATF thing and what I explained in my specific case wasn't a stew purchase.
My issue is when we ordered the gift my daughter bought her husband it was shippped woth her name but my e mail which different last name and a male first and not an issue but my name and my e mail name (same) going to an FFL is somehow a straw purchase.
I could see it if I ordered 10 AR 15’s or Glocks every month but this was 2 guns in a 15 year span so Buds can pound sand
