Newbie here, hence the question I have an LTC-A and my father has an LTC-A (might not matter??). Can i take one of his guns to the range without him, or does the gun have to be registered to me???
thanx
Take your dad....that's half the fun!
I believe there is a time limit on these "loans".
how could the authorities ever keep track of that?? one of my friends has his entire collection of guns spread out amongst 5 or 6 different people, lol. shotguns at this guys house, 2 handguns at another's house, 1 guy carrying this gun, another guy carrying that gun. i even carried his Para Warthog for about 4 months because i was considering buying it, so it was like a "test carry". put it this way, he owns about 20 guns....the only ones he has at his house at the moment are a S&W revolver, a S&W bodyguard .380, a pre-ban AR, and a 870 pistol grip shotty. the other 16 are currently being loaned or borrowed.
in addition to this, i had an encounter with local authorities about 5 years ago while i was in possession of 5 of his handguns (which i was borrowing to take my girl shooting). the 5-0 ran every serial number of every gun which all came up registered to him (not me). i had told him initially that the guns were my friend's, gave his name, and the cop just let me go on my merry way. not one gun was registered to me, it was all good.
Thanks for all the replies. That sounds great, Dear old Dad has a great collection, life is good!!!!.
I thought i was lucky with Dads arsenal........., he was more excited than i was when i told him I got a Pre-ban Steyr AUG on the way. My first firearm.... I cant wait!!!!! and neither can Dad.

You have a citation to back this up? I do not believe this is the case. Any of the usuals around to clear this one?

I can't cite any law or regs but I remember looking into this matter a long time ago and found that BATF wanted paper work done on a transfer that was to last longer than two weeks. Obviously transfers to gunsmiths, etc. were excluded.
Care to elaborate? That sounds interesting.
between residents of the same state there are no restrictions outside of the machine gun type stuff, so long as you are properly licensed you can borrow and CCW with it, where as if you lent a gun across a state line there is a federal law restricting it to "sporting purposes only"
The original question was about borrowing for a day at the range...but what about carrying someone else's gun?

Did they just make sure they were not stolen? I didn't think it was that simple to run the numbers from the database the FA10s go to. Also, I know more than one person that has requested a list of the firearms criminal history records has listed to them and the list was less than accurate. IE guns missing, guns they had sold still on the list.
