Legal question about lending a firearm to someone
Hey gang,
My girl currently lives in Delaware. Recently, she was the victim of a break in and assault in her apartment. I was wondering if it's legal to lend her one of my handguns to keep in her apartment in case she needs it. She has a clean record, but it's across state lines, so I have no idea about the legality of it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Legal question about lending a firearm to someone
It would be a definite violation of Federal law - 18 USC 922(a)(5).

Re: Legal question about lending a firearm to someone
Thanks. Just what I needed to know. Perhaps an outright transfer, ffl to ffl, is the best bet then. Thanks again.

Not only is it the best way, but it's the only LEGAL way. Originally Posted by Ramtuff
