RE: Self Defense handgun help.
I just don't see how you could judge whether or not a person is able to own a firearm. Are you running the person through the FBI database?
Just for the record I don't believe you are doing something illegal. I just think you're doing something foolish. Taking her there and letting her complete the transaction is your best bet. She may come to appreciate the process after all. Unlikely but it's a better way to look at it.
