It depends. She didn't say that she actually buys the gun and fills out the paperwork herself and then hands him the gun. She could be giving him a gift card so he can go buy it himself. It's also not against the law in most states to just give a firearm to a relative or a friend, that you know is NOT prohibited from owning a firearm, AND they live in the same state as you. Although some states do have a requirement that transfers, to anyone, even family, go through an FFL and background check. Now if you are transferring a firearm to someone in another state, you are required to do so through an FFL in all cases - although it's debatable whether or not very many people do this when giving firearms to relatives. Anyway, here is a good write-up on the topic:

There's no gun laws in GA or SC. You need to have a license to be a FFL which I think means to sell either a certain volume or gross total. But you can buy guns and give them away all you like, if you're making a profit there's a limit before you have to get a license. either way to announce it is to put yourself in the spotlight and likely get entrapped
