There is no money trading hands here, so there is no skirting of the background check laws. It is not considered a straw purchase because there is no money going to the original buyer from the new owner. Handy's or BJ's for said gift are not considered payment as far as I know. The background check covers the sale of firearms from dealer to consumer only, under federal law. Under federal law you can give or sell a gun to anyone as long as you are both residents of the same State and both are not barred from owning a firearm. If your wife is a felon then you are violating the law. Since she has her CHL you clearly know she is not a felon and is not barred from owning a gun. Since you both live in the same house you both live in the same state. Individual States can have additional restrictions. Ohio is not one of those States. There is no legal debate here. And there is no 'loophole' here. The federal government clearly intended to allow personal transfer of firearms when they enacted the law. Just because some anti-second amendment peeps label it a loophole does not make it one. The law is working as the legislature intended it to. Should it be fixed could be open for debate, but current statue is not.

Like from the toilet? Then what will the gators drink?
