Another user requested similar information, however, my question was unaswered.
I have not been a regular reader of rec.guns, but I think I will be soon. My
question is this:

My sister lives in Dallas, Texas and while visiting I picked out a Bersa .380
that I would like to purchase. A valid Texas drivers license is required for
purchase, so I would have to have her buy it for me.
1. Is this legal if I plan to register the gun when shes get it to me in
   Illinois?

2. What avenues can she use to get it to me? (She'll be flying to Illinois in
   July).

She is very concerned with the prospect that she would be doing something
illegal, so any information I receive would be very helpful. I do have an
Illinois' Firearms Owners Identification card.

I have not been a frequent reader of rec.guns, so E-mail along with a posting
would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Vic
