My friend just moved into his apartment and his personal gun in a couple of states away. Is it legal to let him "borrow" a gun of mine for personal defense? Could I be held responsible if he shoots someone?
A person may loan or rent a firearm to a resident of any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes, if he does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law.
Selling a handgun to a resident of another state requires an FFL transfer. Loaning it is perfectly legal.
She had shot one before but was a long time ago
Just sell it to him for $1 and do the FFL transfer.
What an astounding notion!Note that the regulation quoted above says, "lawful sporting purposes." Self-defense is not a sporting purpose.
