    sk. I should just avoid giving them my sister name and mine and just explain my situation.
    I would if I could. Like I said; no sense in waiving a flag about the situation. It shouldn't make any difference to them who it is but if there is no legit way to do this, in their eyes, it might give them a reason to pay attention to your sister. No reason in saying more than you have to.

    They should have a firearms unit, if not then ask for an appointment to speak with the sheriff.

    Tell them that you are planing to buy a firearm and that you live with your sister who has a felony on her record. Explain to them that you want to be lawful for your sisters sake as well as your own.

    Tell them along with the purchase of a firearm you will buy a gun safe that will be stored in your bedroom that has a keyed doorknob lock as well as a deadbolt lock on the door.

    If they can't give you any legal advise then you will have to consult with a local attorney that is familiar with gun laws in your state.

    when you say Sheriff do you mean SGT? or any deputy on duty?

    No, tell them you want to speak with the sheriff. He is the top man in the sheriff's department. They shouldn't ask what the felony is, all they should be concerned with that she doe's have a felony. A felony on a record federally prohibits one from owning a firearm, it doesn't matter if the felony was from an armed robbery or shoplifting $1000 from a clothing store.

    get a safe with a thumbprint key no problems about "who has access to the key" with that type of lock

    I went to my local Sheriff station in OC anyhow they said they couldn't give me any advice. I called the attorney who represented my sister and he said that I can buy the shotgun but it has to be stored in a safe with trigger lock. He asked me why i wanted a gun and I simply told him for hunting.
