Lending a handgun question

[4tun8]

I was wondering if I could take my dads pistol to the range without him being there? My dad doesn't get to the range too often and I'd like to shoot his pistol. We have the same address ( I still live at home) and I have my ltcf and range permit.

It's his dad. They can simply hand firearms to each other. Nothing required

Not sure if that's 100% true. They are exempt from the transfer requirements, but I don't see an exemption for lending or borrowing a firearm. Obviously it's not an issue here because the son has a LTCF, but if he didn't I'm not sure that it would be legal.

...for a Transfer. A loan is a seperate set of circumstances. Read the Pa prohibition on Lending Firearms. This is the Pa Statute on Loaning firearms, not transferring them. They still must meet an exception under 6115 even if they are Parent/Son according to the law there is no exception for this relationship.
