Black certainly checked yes because he would have been denied otherwise. It's also not inappropriate because the gun was being transferred to Dominick as a trustee. Buying a gun on behalf of someone underaged and holding onto it until they are old enough for ownership to be transferred is 100% legal. It's called a trust and that can be established purely based on an oral agreement even if the exact legal verbiage was never used.
Other than Rittenhouse littering by dropping 400 lbs of trash on the street, neither Dominick Black nor Kyle Rittenhouse did anything illegal.
The fact is that Dominick was storing it, not Kyle. That alone is enough to demonstrate that a trust was established and that it wasn't a straw purchase, but the courts are increasingly disconnected from both the law and physical reality so none of this actually matters.

A gun trust between two non-related people had better be on paper if it's going to hold up in court.
