Hi guys,
I have an interesting situation, and want to make sure I'm abiding by all the laws. My brother is a Captain in the Army, and is currently stationed in Germany. However, he is a Texas resident. I, obviously, am a Maryland resident.
He purchased a 9mm handgun from a friend of his, who lives in Arizona. The plan originally was for his friend to hold the handgun until my brother came back to the states, which was supposed to be in about six weeks. My brother would then take possession of the gun, and all is well.
However, my brother just received word that he is headed to the sandbox for a one year duty, and then will be coming to the states. Is it legal for me to hold the handgun for a year, until he comes back to the states? If so, is it also legal for me to use the handgun at the range? If it's not legal, do you have any advice as to how we should proceed?
Thanks. Any and all advice is appreciated.
