Technically you can't legally buy a firearm for someone else, it's called a straw purchase. What does work is if you do the legwork and find the gun in a shop where she can go and do all the paperwork and have the shop bill you. That, or see if they will sell you a gift certificate so she can just go pick it up and fill out the forms.Ok, so get it shipped to any gun store that has a FFL? Now does that pertain to buying a gun for someone else? For example, my mother is a security guard in FL. She is soon going to be an armed security guard. Im wanting to buy her first gun. Could I pay for it here in SC, then have them send it to a FFL there in FL?

Well Fl is my home of record however I have a DL in SC. (had to change it in order to be exempt from taking the DMVs motorcycle course when I got the license).If your home state is GA, you are active duty and you are stationed in SC you may buy a handgun in GA and SC (with a copy of your orders).
So, there is a difference for Active duty. As active duty, you can buy in your home state - Home of Record (if you maintain your DL and residency by noting it as your Home of Record) and your duty state (with proof...your orders... you are stationed there).
Semper fi, Devil Dog.
Marine, what is your Home of Record, what State is your Driver's License?
If the answer is FL to both, then you are a FL resident, it doesn't matter what state you live in because of orders.
If you changed your license for some reason to SC, then you are a SC resident and you need to change your HOR the next time you re-enlist and start paying SC taxes as you changed your State of Residence by your own act. So, the answer to your question (I was an Admin Officer as an additional duty for a few years while in the squadrons and used to deal with this all the time) you are a SC resident and no longer a FL resident. You must make all of your paperwork match! Go see your admin office and your tax folks ASAP. You need to take care of your personal affairs as you took a resident SC DL and a SC resident CCP and are considered a resident. The tax folks will be none too happy if you don't start paying them their due. You would have been better off remaining a FL resident and taking the d*** test! Don't delay, this will catch up to you, especially in this age of computers and cross checking.
You are a SC resident and want to gift a gun to your Mom in FL, then you can do so if there is no law in FL that prevents her from owning a firearm and prevents that firearm from entering the State, you just can't ship it to her, you must give it to her FTF.
It isn't that hard.

Not all states have passed laws to allow a CCW/CCH to waive the Brady check.As a non-resident, you can not buy a gun and take it home with you. You may buy and pay for one in GA and have it shipped to an FFL in SC, then pick it up from them.
The only thing CWP does for you (in your home state) is eliminates the need for the background check when buying a gun.
You can BUY a gun anywhere. You can only take delivery and carry it away if it is in a state that has passed a law that allows long guns to be purchased by non-residents and your state of residence has a similar law.Ok, so get it shipped to any gun store that has a FFL?

Federal law say no person may buy, sell or provide a gun to a prohibited person. A straw purchase is an evasion of that law. A gift is not a straw purchase as long as you know or have no reason to believe the person is prohibited.Technically you can't legally buy a firearm for someone else, it's called a straw purchase.

The State of Kansas just passed a law to allow military personnel to be considered a Kansas resident for the purpose of getting a CCH.I am a Marine Admin guy and that is not true. As an Active Duty Marine your home of record is going to be were you enlisted in the service until 1) you retire 2) you EAS. As an active duty Marine with orders it does not matter were you get your DL from, I live in SC and while I was AD my HOR was Ohio. Even after I got a new DL in SC my HOR was still OH. As for the purchasing of a handgun, with PCS orders you are able to make purchases in that state you are Stationed in and in your HOR.
That is not correct. Under the Soldiers and Sailors Act, if you're stationed outside of your H of R, you are entitled to have a DL in the state where you are assigned "without" being a tax-paying resident. I did it often during my 20+ years. Your "tax" responsibility (Income-wise, not vehicle registration, etc.) is based on your H of R. The military (and states) realize it can be difficult to maintain your home state credentials (DL, etc. ) when you may not be there for years.Marine, what is your Home of Record, what State is your Driver's License?
