Married couples, in possession of/use of each others firearms.

Here in KS we can freely share. You only need a permit for CCW but you can CCW any firearm you want. If you want to borrow your buddies gun for a day go ahead. There is no tracking of ownership. In NY your handgun serial numbers are listed on your permit so you can only legally be in possession of those listed but NY will allow spouses and family members to both have the same handguns listed so you can share.

Keep up the pressure on the politicians and your gun laws will get better.

Got a citation to back that up, Sir? If I sell a handgun within my own state (a "transfer" to another resident of the same state) through an FFL the buyer still has to fill out a Federal form 4473. If Federal law applies to in-state transfers, how do you conclude that Federal law does NOT apply to in-state loans?
 
But the need to use an FFL for instate handgun purchases is defined by state law. Here in KS private party sales of handguns between KS residents is legal without using an FFL. If you want to buy my handgun we can meet at McDonald's or Walmart and make an exchange in the parking lot. Federal law prohibits the sale of handguns across state lines without an FFL.
 
Wuchak, a lot of what you are stating makes sense to me and sort of parallels my state. That being said, I feel if something did happen of any significance, just having someone's random firearm could pose a more serious problem?? Obviously you would have to have had permission in the first place, but couldn't that still get dicey?
 
Unless you live in one of the states that track ownership through some type of permit how would anyone know whose firearm it is? I'm talking about something like a traffic stop where you inform the officer that you are a CCW permit holder and carrying. He's not going to ask whose gun it is. If you are in a state like NY then the handgun had better match one of the serial numbers listed on your permit or you're going to jail. Here in KS and most other states there is no tracking of what handgun ownership.

If the firearm was used in a SD situation then ownership would come into question and if it was a borrowed firearm whoever you borrowed it from would have to attest that they did indeed loan you the handgun and that you didn't steal it. If you have friends or family that would say you stole it to try to get out of any potential liability from the SD incident then you shouldn't borrow their firearm.

if you ended up legally drawing and/or shooting a firearm in a SD situation, the issue of whose gun it is would inevitably come up and probably sooner than later. There are also other instances when a LEO could ask if it was your firearm. I wouldn't be worried if it was my wife's or my gun(or vice-versa in her case), but if I just had someone else's gun for a yr and never got it back then things might get sketchy. But then again, it might not have any bearing. I just thought maybe a can of worms could end up being opened unintentionally.

If you do a transfer through a FFL, then yes the FFL has to follow federal law, even for in-state transfers, but a non FFL would not, they would have to follow state laws.
 
by the way
