Firearm "lending" in PA

[PA452]

Hey guys, I have a question about borrowing a firearm as a PA resident. What I want to know is, basically, can a PA resident legally borrow a pistol from a resident of another state?

I was always under the impression this was no problem. Then speaking to a gun shop employee yesterday, I was advised that borrowing a pistol from anyone was a felony unless it was a family member. I told the guy he was wrong, he said he wasn't, I left it at that. When I got home, I started researching and it seemed like he was right...unless the borrower has a PA LTCF (CCW).

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).

As based on that, I think as a LTCF holder, I'm good to go. But the only question remaining to me is, does it matter if the lender is from out of state?


ETA: Whole situation:

Thanks guys. Let me lay out the whole situation, maybe you can help me with this.

Basically, I'm a PA resident. My ex-fiancee is a NC resident. She left here in PA a handgun that she bought while in NC. She wants to sell it to me. She is in NC, I am in PA, and she is not likely to be in PA for a very, very long time (no time in the foreseeable future).

So, this thing will need to be transferred at a PA FFL. Is there any way to legally get this thing transferred to me without wasting $50 on overnight shipping to her in NC, and then $50 on overnight shipping right back to an FFL in PA?

Also check out PennsyPlinker’s http://forum.pafoa.org/general-2/596...-question.html thread. He specifically asked about being able to lawfully lend a firearm to someone in another state. I believe the answer was that it cannot be done unless the firearm is fully transfered through an FFL.
