Sorry to dig up an old thread, but doesn't the above quote mean I can loan one of my pistols to my dad even though I am in Texas and he is in California? Can I loan it to him for several years? (without going thru FFL transfer.)
Is it legal for Dad to share my safe?

I guess I'm in all kinds of violation then.... I just bought a remington 870 at a gun show this weekend from a guy for $250 straight cash. I gave him the cash, he gave me the gun. Pretty simple.
I filed paperwork at my gun shop when I bought my Pa a taurus pt99 for Father's day a few years ago, no problem at all...even the FFL dealer said it wasn't. Maybe that's a Kansas thing.
I've got a 9mm XD registered to me via FFL paperwork, a Springfield 1911 registered to a buddy, a Sig that I sold to some fella I never even met through a coworker for $400, a mossberg 500 that I sold to a fella I worked with for $200 who I've talked to since and he says he sold it soon after he bought it from me. I bought a benelli nova off a friend and sold it to a gun shop soon after in my name and told them that I bought it off a friend for cash, they didn't care.
Another friend bought a sig at a gun shop via FFL and sold it to me where I kept it for a minute, then sold it to my brother for cash. So he's got a gun registered to someone he doesn't even know.
I really don't think that it matters whatsoever to the fed who you sell your guns to. It's funny though, especially because of that shotgun deal, in Kansas I guess if you're a felon you could just buy used guns off of individuals with no problem...but then you'd be a felon in possession of a firearm, big felony.

Well it seems in all your examples that you were transferring the weapons to people who reside in the same state. (state law )? We're allowed to do that in texas just fine. The part that I am questioning about is the gift to a person who lives in a different state (feddy law). I guess if we keep doing what kellyj does then the feds will never know who has what, which would be just fine.

In Indiana you are allowed to have access to firearms in a home if you are at least 18 years old. The only exeption I can think of is NFA items.
It seems to me that since you have to ask about how to comply with firearms law, that surely negates the phrase shall not infringe in my mind. Food for thought.

double plus ungood! will they represent you if arrested?
can you sue them if they are wrong?
LE are not lawyers, if they were, they would be getting a lot more dough

+1. I wonder if one of my ancestors had to get a Royal Writ signed by the
King himself when they traveled from North Carolina to Virginia in order to pick
up the orphaned kids and flintlock of another ancestor....oh wait, now I remember
how they handled that: one joined the Virginia Militia
