Can an adult purchase a rated M video game for a minor?

I'm fourteen, and I want to get Red Dead Redemption. I asked my mother about it, and she said she'd be fine with me having it. The problem is that I'm obviously underage. The question here is , if my mother comes to purchase the game with me, will they allow me to buy it? Or will I have to send her in for me as a sort of ambassador?

Thanks in advance.

    Yes.

    Your mother can purchase it.

    The age restriction isn't a law. It's a voluntary restriction by game manufacturers and retailers.

    No you're fine. It's like an R rated movie. The thing is parental consent. As long as you're not alone w/o an adult they're not even ALLOWED to deny you it.

    Your mother simply needs to stand next to you. You give it to the person, they ask your parent if it's ok, then you pay and leave. It's that simple.
