I want to loan out my P22...

[Blue]

A friend of mine is taking a friend out shooting and he wants to know if I can loan him my P22. He's under 21, but over 18. What does he need to borrow it? I know he's not going to get into any trouble with it, but what's the law?

[maurice05]

wouldnt he have to be 21 or older since thats the age you need to be to buy one ?

[mike100]

in CA, if you aren't exempt like LE, CCW or COE etc, you need to possess an HSC card to have/borrow somebody else's handgun (not incl while you are present with them at the range or whatever). There is also some language about that person being known to the lender to be eligible to posses firearms.

since he isn't 21, that doesn't strictly disqualify him from interfamiliar transfer/loan, but in this case I'd like to see him get an HSC being underage.

long story short..my guess is NO.

IIRC I read somewhere that he'd need an HSC. So he should probably get that. I'm pretty sure the whole loan thing would be legal as long as he had an HSC, but is there anyone here that can clarify?

I'd hope that the P22 was either a P22CA or was retrofitted to not be an illegal AW, since they were originally sold in CA with threaded bbls.

Yes Bill its a P22CA.

so your friend who is loaning the p22 is over 21? if so, it's ok if not, that's a no no. the person who possess the handgun must be 21.

if he's 21 and he got a 18 year old with him who wants to shoot, then that's ok.

Hmm.. I thought it was 21 to purchase, 18 to possess a handgun in California.

I copyed this directly From the doj website

Is a Handgun Safety Certificate (HSC) required when a handgun is being loaned?
It depends on the specific circumstances. Generally, a person being loaned a handgun must have a current Handgun Safety Certificate (HSC). However, an HSC is not required when the loan does not exceed three days in duration and the person loaning the handgun is at all times within the presence of the person being loaned the handgun.

I dont know about loaning a handgun to somone under 21 but I do know they cant buy ammo so you had better do some research
Its worth spending some time searching the doj website

It shoots 22lr

On another note, how does someone with a camp 9 buy ammo if they're not 21?

If you are lucky he wont give it back.

(does that tell you how much I care for mine?)

I'll give you a buck fiddy for it. Final offer.

"Don't get these mixed up, the P22 only takes the Stingers, okay?"

[ns3v3n]

i'm pretty sure if you're 18 and you got pulled over by a cop and you have a handgun in the back of your truck, you're pretty much screwed.

From ATF (in regards to buying ammo, should be valid for all ammunition that can be used in rifles and handguns even if the example is for 22lr):

May a licensee sell interchangeable ammunition such as .22 cal. rimfire to a person less than 21 years old?
Yes, provided the buyer is 18 years of age or older, and the dealer is satisfied that it is for use in a rifle. If the ammunition is intended for use in a handgun, the 21 year old minimum age requirement is applicable.
