Loaning handgun to family member to carry

[ytmndan]

I have my MD wear-and-carry permit. So does my sister. We don't reside in the same household. She's interested in one of my recent purchases, and may want one for herself. Could I legally loan her the handgun, and would she be within her rights (as currently applicable Maryland law sees them) to carry it to see how she likes it?

echo, echo, echo !


Legally in MD you can loan a handgun to anyone that you can presume to not be prohibited, they do not even need to have an HQL or W&C permit.

I lend handguns to people all the time. About 2 months ago, a total of 5 people had guns of mine all at once.

Some may argue that you cannot loan a gun (or anything) to anyone...but you may indeed lend it.

The last 10 years is meaningless when MD just increased restrictions in the last 3 months. And I tried the search. Nothing came up that answered my question, not for the last 10 years and certainly not the last 3 months. No need to be snarky if you're also going to miss the point entirely.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

It was answered in the first post.

YES!

I agree 100%
What was legal in MD last month may be "Straight to jail" this month.

AND the "Search Function" on MDS is beyond worthless,

Can you carry spouse’s gun with MD Wear & Carry?

Can anyone direct me to state law about whether or not you can legally carry a gun registered to your spouse? I’ve read that you can carry a gun that you can “legally possess” but it doesn’t specify own.

Came up as the 5th item in a search (Loan a firearm to family member)
And it's from a little over a year ago (within the last 3 years)

Like I said, this has been asked and answered many times.

And NO, the last 10 years is NOT meaningless since the law hasn't changed. Nice try at moving the goal posts though.

BGOS much? If it isn't in State Statute, it isn't law.

I found an answer in the first 5 items that came up with a search, maybe you just suck at searching </sarc>

Not at all, I don't spend my days/hours pouring over laws, regulations, case history, MSP making $hit up out of thin air, etc.

Maybe the OP should just do whatever and hope for the best? If he is white and a tax payer,, he has every right to be highly concerned.

I would never trust Maryland that much..

HQL live fire requirement? COMAR isn't statute.
