Fact

The exceptions included in I-594 are drafted so narrowly that they are essentially meaningless. Examples:

There is NO general loan exemption for family members or friends, even in the presence of the owner!

You couldn’t loan your sister-in-law a firearm for self protection!

You couldn’t loan your adult sons shotguns to go hunting!

A person could “gift” a firearm to a family member but could NOT loan or sell it to her!

A police officer who loans a personal firearm to a fellow officer would face prosecution under I-594!

Concealed Pistol License holders, who are subjected to fingerprint-based checks, are not exempt!
