Lending a gun in PA for concealed carry.

**Tokamak** · March 16th, 2008, 05:31 PM

You folks are well informed and I was hoping someone would know the answer to this question.

I believe I can lend my concealed carry piece to my daughter or son. My daughter is 25, lives at home, has a permit and occasionally borrows one of my guns for carry. I think this is perfectly legal.

Now here is the problem. My daughter wanted to lend the gun to her fiance - he also has a carry permit and had a SW model 10 with him but wanted to carry the smaller Kel-Tec .380 for convenience. They called to ask my permission - good kids - and I told them that I did not think it was legal and so she kept the gun in her possession.

Was I right? In fact, am I right about lending the guns to my daughter? (I say guns because sometimes she uses my SW Model 19 .357 in her glove compartment believe it or not

)

§6115. Loans on, or Lending or Giving Firearms Prohibited.

§6115. Loans on, or Lending or Giving Firearms Prohibited.

(a) Offense defined.—No person shall make any loan secured by mortgage, deposit or pledge of a firearm, nor, except as provided in subsection (b), shall any person lend or give a firearm to another or otherwise deliver a firearm contrary to the provisions of this subchapter.

(b) Exception.—

(1) Subsection (a) shall not apply if any of the following apply:

(i) The person who receives the firearm is licensed to carry a firearm under section 6109 (relating to licenses).

(ii) The person who receives the firearm is exempt from licensing.

If the receiver has a valid LTCF, their relation to you (or not) is not an issue.

Please read the following exerpt

§ 6115. Loans on, or lending or giving firearms prohibited.
(a) Offense defined.--No person shall make any loan secured
by mortgage, deposit or pledge of a firearm, nor, except as
provided in subsection (b), shall any person lend or give a
firearm to another or otherwise deliver a firearm contrary to
the provisions of this subchapter.
(b) Exception.--
(1) Subsection (a) shall not apply if any of the
following apply:
(i) The person who receives the firearm is licensed
to carry a firearm under section 6109 (relating to
licenses).

Now your daughter and yourself can transfer possession without going through an FFL and anyone can borrow if they have an LTCF.

That sounds right! Thanks for the information.

(Pa Patriot you must have posted while I was replying to the first post - you said basically the same thing. Thanks)
