Any chance there is a definition of "Loan" in this subsection? I just checked Public Safety 5-101, and the answer is NO.
This could really all be fixed with a definition of "Loan" in subsection 5-101
Loan - means the lending of a firearm, outside of the owner's presence, without the receipt of compensation or the transfer of title of the firearm.
Why can't we include something like that in Public Safety 5-101 and then those of us that follow almost all the laws do not need to worry about breaking a law by letting our kids or others under the age of 21 shoot the regulated firearm in our presence.
My only issue with this bill is that I cannot "loan" a regulated firearm to one of my kids, nephews, nieces, etc. in my presence while we are at a range, out hunting, out shooting at a farm, etc.
So easy to fix it, but will it be done. Do organizations like MSI, MSRPA, PP, NRA propose amendments to these bills in Annapolis and provide the reasoning why?
Clarify all of this nonsense for because it is starting to run together. If passed, would this mean that I couldn’t loan my wife or kids firearms to shoot at the range?
