Indefinite loans

Not saying that this is a good idea, just curious whether it is legal for a non-licensee to loan a firearm to another non-licensee by using the services of an FFL in the state of the person receiving the firearm.

I have not been able to find anything in the federal or california law which would make this unlawful.

You can do this. Ship it to the FFL, the FFL does a 4473 and the borrow takes possession after getting NICSed. When the borrower is finished, they ship it back to another FFL in their state and DROS it back into their name.

Just make sure it is on the CA roster of approved handguns for sale or document that it was just a loan.

Personally, I would make my friend or whoever buy their own gun, especially if they lived in Free America.

Thanks, that is what I thought. I don't think it would be a good idea to do, but the point is that it is legal. I think this gives some insight into how the laws are structured regarding transfers through an FFL.

I believe this has some relevance to the discussion going on in the "other" thread.
